1967 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ45LV

This Land Cruiser is a true barn find survivor. 1967 was the very last year for Toyota to keep these in production until they were replaced by the FJ55.
The "L" Stands for Left Hand Drive and the "V" stands for Van.
There were only an estimated 500-600 of these important into the United States from Japan, it's unknown how many of these are still alive today.

Mileage is extremely low at 90,210.

These were the changes made in 1967 before they went out of production:

- The basics: 1 1/2 ” brow 
- 1 1/2 ” brow above windshield
- Corner mounted sun visors
- Improved drainage for cowl vent (late 1967) 
- Move VIN to passenger fender
- New weather stripping w/ plastic (steel reinforced) bead
- Improved venting for gas tank (late 1967) 

WHY ARE WE SELLING IT?

It's never easy is it? Due to health complications and the cost of medical bills the owner is forced with the decision to sell one of his most prized possessions.
Knowing that we know Land Cruisers he consulted with us to make sure that it gets in the right hands at the right price as efficiently as possible. He knows these
things go for upwards of $40k and up but there is little time to clean her up and sell her let alone just drive her around time to enjoy.  It's truly his loss and your gain.
This Land Cruiser is a perfect candidate for someone who wants to do a full restoration or just simply wants to driver her around.

DRIVETRAIN:
She has the factory built 3.9L Inline 6. Producing roughly 125HP, she wasn't a power house but this was plenty sufficient in 1967 and had enough torque to take on
the heaviest trails.  She runs like a well oiled machine and doesn't miss a bit sitting at the light.  I would drive this truck another million miles with this engine.

The transmission is manual 3 speed gear box 

DRIVABILITY:

Anywhere!  I would jump in this thing right now and drive her to Cali for a surf trip! for a 40 plus year old vehicle she drives and runs amazing.  She purrs like a kitten and drives down the road straight.  The clutch is firm and so easy to use even a teenager could learn how to drive it. Every gear slides in perfectly and as it should without grinding.  

The suspension has been replaced with a 2" lift from Old Man Emu.  This kit has been the staple for lifting Land Cruisers for many years and is highly respected among
the Land Cruiser community.  She rides better than factory and is more than capable of taking her to some light trails for a light off-roading. 

Brakes do need some pumping every once in a while to keep up the pressure.

BODY EXTERIOR:

There were many rust concerns when these vehicles were first introduced and Toyota improved their drainage system 1967 to help in preventing any of those issues
from developing. Fortunately this 45LV is a fighter! Only a few small rust pockets and some surface rust found their way onto this truck and everything is completely
repairable if needed. The floor boards are in great shape, the drip rails are in great shape and many of the areas where rust should be is non-existent.

At one point in this trucks life it was painted the two tone Orange and White, though these trucks came from the factory two toned we don't know at this time
whether or not that was the factory color or not.  The paint job appears to be over a decade old and could even pass for original to an untrained eye.

INTERIOR:

The interior is like a time capsule, untouched it's entire life.  The door panels are tattered and the the steering wheel is smooth from the hands of it's owners. It's
dusty and needs a quick swipe of a rag to clean her up.  She has a couple tears in the seats and the headliner is sagging a bit but aside from that it's in great shape
for the shape she's in! Just a few hours cleaning things up and your spouse might ask to go for a ride!

From the factory these truck came with a factory Air Conditioning unit under the dash and believe it or not she still blows cold!  We've seen a lot of Land Cruisers and a 
working, operational A/C is even more rare!

OOOPS! I made a mistake and stated that the A/C was factory and it is in fact not factory.  It is in fact an aftermarket unit, sorry for the misinformation.

2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited

Thu, 08 May 2014

What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Funded in part by a $4.5-million grant from the US Department of Energy (DOE), the system will use a battery pack and some form of range extending internal combustion engine. The system will employ various drive cycles in order to help commercial fleets save fuel based on their needs. Read more at Gas2.

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.
