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.

Despite slow sales, no new Scion models in near-term pipeline [w/poll]

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

According to a top Toyota executive, the Japanese automaker will not be introducing any fresh Scion models in the near future, Reuters reports. As of August, Scion sales for this year were down 1.6 percent from 2012 and accounted for only 0.3 percent of Toyota's overall US sales. And last month, Toyota Motor Sales USA Senior Vice President Bob Carter informed the 1,000 dealers who carry Scion that they can drop the brand without penalty.
However, never fear - Carter has assured that, while nothing new is coming for at least six months, the company is still very committed to the quirky Scion brand. Toyota launched Scion, which targets the youth market, in 2003, and sales peaked in 2006. The brand currently has five models, with the 2013 best-sellers being the FR-S sports coupe followed by the tC sedan and xB hatchback.
What do you think about Toyota's decision to hold off on introducing new or refreshed Scion models? Are they heading in the right direction, or does this spell doom for the funky Gen Y brand?

2016 Toyota Tacoma teased again

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Toyota is following up its muddy teaser of the back of the 2016 Tacoma with a dusty new one that shows the truck's face for the first time. Without seeing more of the pickup, it's impossible to make any educated judgments, but the company appears to be taking the Taco's styling in a new direction. The 2016 Tacoma features a hexagonal grille outlined in chrome and a narrow intake underneath visually connecting the foglights. The headlights take on a squinting look, and this shot suggests LED running lights at the outer edge (perhaps just for top-level trims). You can also just make out a bit boxier of a flare for the front fender. The truckmaker hasn't announced anything about the Tacoma's powertrain, but we spied a prototype testing several months ago with a six-speed manual transmission. That one reportedly rode on a modified version of the current model's frame, as well. Toyota apparently has high hopes, though, because it's ramping up production at the Taco's factory in Mexico by 41 percent. The truck debuts at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show on January 12, and you can read Toyota's to-the-point press release about it below. See. The. Light. December 17, 2014 The lights come on and Tacoma rolls at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. The all-new 2016 beast hits the stage at 12:50 p.m. EST, Monday Jan. 12. And for those who can't wait for the dust to settle, we'll share a little more dirt later today. www.toyota.com/upcoming-vehicles/tacoma

Toyota recalls 250 vehicles in two separate campaigns

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Toyota is keeping on top of things by issuing two, small recalls on 2015 model year vehicles. The first covers 230 examples of the 2015 Yaris. In the affected models, the bolts holding the rear axle bearing might not be tight enough. If one of these fasteners falls off, it could possibly damage the rear brakes, including the potential of a wheel locking up. The second, even smaller campaign covers just 20 units of the 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro pickups. In the examples delivered to Puerto Rico, they didn't have the correct placard to advise owners of the correct tire size and pressure on the B-pillar. Neither problem has resulted in any crashes, injuries or fatalities. As usual, affected owners will be notified by mail, and Toyota dealers will repair the issues free of charge to customers. Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight tells Autoblog that those letters will go out in mid-March. TOYOTA RECALLS CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2015 YARIS AND TACOMA VEHICLES TORRANCE, Calif., February 17, 2015 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., today announced it will conduct a safety recall of approximately 230 Model Year 2015 Yaris hatchbacks and approximately 20 Model Year 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro model pickup trucks. In the involved Yaris vehicles, the rear axle bearing bolts may not have been tightened sufficiently during vehicle assembly. If a bolt is loose and falls off during vehicle operation, the bolt could damage rear brake components, resulting in reduced brake performance or potential wheel lock up, which could increase the risk of a crash. The Tacoma TRD Pro model pickup trucks were distributed to dealers in Puerto Rico without the correct B-pillar tire placard indicating the tire size and recommended cold tire inflation pressure for the front and rear tires. An improperly inflated tire can increase the risk of a crash. Toyota is not aware of any crashes, injuries, or fatalities caused by either condition. Owners of the involved vehicles will receive a notification by first class mail. Toyota dealers will repair the vehicles at no cost to the owner. Detailed information is available at www.toyota.com/recall and by calling Toyota Customer Service at 1-800-331-4331. ### Featured Gallery 2015 Toyota Yaris View 12 Photos Related Gallery 2015 Toyota TRD Pro Series Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner News Source: Toyota Recalls Toyota Safety Truck Hatchback
