OVERVIEW: You are bidding on an incredible 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser...I’m selling this for a friend who has one too many projects on his plate, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask I’m happy to pass them along. Here's his description:

I've owned this for less than a year, paid over the starting bid here and drove it literally less than a couple hundred miles. I bought this as an almost complete project rig but between the new house and the three kids I haven't made any progress on it and it's more painful to watch her sitting in the driveway than to imagine her happy on a trail somewhere with another owner. It's in great driving condition as is, ready for the trail or the highway!!! I've owned other vintage vehicles in the past but this has been by far and away my favorite, and I hate to see her go. I had never owned a Land Cruiser prior to this that could go over 75 mph comfortably on the highway but could also crawl so technically on the most difficult of trails. It has some rust on the rear of the body but as you can tell by the pictures but the driver and passenger floors are solid. She turns heads everywhere she goes - and catches the eye's of both the serious off roader and the collector alike. 

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION: Newly rebuilt Small Block Chevy 350 with only 2000 MILES ON IT!!!! Edelbrock Performer Intake Manifold. Edelbrock 650 CFM 4 barrel carb. New MSD cap/rotor/wires. HEI distributor. Headers (old school - outside frame rail). K&N Air Filter. SM420 Transmission WITH Stock Vacuum Actuated Transfer Case. Transmission is incredibly strong, geared perfectly for crawling and still allows me to pass anyone I like on the highway. 

STEERING & SUSPENSION: Power Steering - Saginaw steering box, GM Reservoir with new AGR Power Steering Pump, Welded Tabs/Bolts for Hydraulic Assist on Front Axle. 78' Axles Front/Rear (Front discs). New Rear Axle and Double Cardan rebuild. New Clutch Slave Cylinder. New Rear Drum Brake Pads. Spring over axle (SOA) conversion with the OEM Toyota springs and Rancho 9000's shocks all the way around! 

ELECTRICAL: New Auto Tech oil pressure and temperature gauges. OEM fuel and voltage/battery gauges work great. New headlights. The electrical system is solid but included is a new in box painless chassis wiring harness!!!!

TIRES & SAFETY:  Less than 500 miles on four 37 x 12.50 R 15 Interco IROKS RADIAL tires mounted on 12 x 15 WELD Roadhawks. Included is a newly installed METAL TECH FULL CAGE/CRADLE. Sitting in this rig feels like you're in an impenetrable fortress, I've never seen another cage as solid as this...simply incredible!!!

EXTRAS INCLUDED WITH THE AUCTION:
Original bench seats front/rear (completely redone!) were removed for the cage install but are included in the listing
2 Newer/Used Super Swamper SSRs for spares with one 8 x 15 aluminum spare wheel
New in box Painless chassis wiring harness
Bikini top
Door weatherstripping
Side view mirrors
Seat belts
OEM Toyota Lock with key
Newly installed window seals

THE BAD: 
Needs smaller pulley for accelerated EGR pump (more volume)
Needs bigger pulley to fully utilize power steering system
Needs shackle bushings
Needs possible master brake cylinder rebuild (starting to need a double-pump)
Parking brake will not engage (the handle is in tact in the cab but it either needs to be tightened or the linkage needs to be corrected)
Spring over axle conversion needs a little attention (mentioned to me by the previous owner but I haven't noticed any issues, additional shackles are included)
Rusted out lower rear corner panels BUT included are brand new polished diamond plate corner panels!
Rusted out tub below the tail gate (covered with black tape currently)
Rust on rear seal
No door keys
Speedometer is not connected
Windshield wipers aren't currently installed but motor and wiper blades are included with the auction 
Gas filler tube is in need of redirecting, since the addition of the METAL TECH CAGE
One wheel stud broken on each of the rear wheels

(please keep in mind that the truck is +40 years old and their may be other odds and ends that need adjustment...if you want to see something in more detail please ask for additional pictures, I want to make sure you know exactly what you're buying)

SHIPPING: I drove the truck this weekend and you can drive it anywhere in town without any issues (assuming it's not raining hard - no wipers remember, see above) BUT this should not be driven cross-country without the brake system being looked at, the wipers installed, and the gas filler hose being redirected and therefore I require that the winning bidder have the vehicle shipped if it's immediately going out of state. Please don't email me after the auction ends expecting to drive it across country tomorrow...the motor is strong as an ox but those other things need to be looked at before it gets driven hard. Vehicle must be picked up within ten days of the end of the auction. Shipping must be arranged by the buyer at a pickup location of my choice (a.k.a. near my house and not 90 miles away). If you are arranging shipping make sure the carrier will allow the spare tires, bench seats, and spare parts to be stored inside the truck (some carriers do not) otherwise you will be responsible for the crate charge and freight to get the additional items to you. 

PAYMENT: Please email me with questions BEFORE you start bidding. The winning bidder must pay a $500 deposit within 24 hours of the close of the auction and pay the balance when you pickup the vehicle with cash or a cashiers check. I am listing the truck locally as well and reserve the right to end the auction early at any time regardless of wether there are currently bids or not. Bid with confidence, I have had a 100% positive feedback rating for the last decade since I started using eBay!!!!

Toyota releases teaser for Kaley Cuoco Super Bowl ad

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Toyota has released a 35-second teaser video for its upcoming Super Bowl spot staring Kaley Cuoco, the actress best known for her role as object-of-nerd-affection Penny on The Big Bang Theory. The real star of the ad, however, is its soundtrack, the 1995 hit "I Wish" by rapper Skee-Lo that will have your mind cashing nostalgia checks the moment it hits your ears.
We still don't know much about the content, plot or story of this Super Bowl commercial, though we can say that its object of promotion is likely the new RAV4 we see Ms. Cuoco driving in this teaser. The rest of the time she's walking the street in a purple getup granting wishes like Robin Williams on a Disney sound stage. And then the Easter Bunny and a chihuahua enter the picture and we get lost. Clint Eastwood under a bridge this is not.
But hey, Super Bowl ads cost millions and millions of dollars to produce and air, so we trust that Toyota spent its money wisely and will have us ROFLing on game day. Until then, scroll down and witness for yourself the debut of Kaley Cuoco as a Toyota spokeswoman.

Drive like a prince: Join us for a walk through Monaco's car collection

Fri, Dec 29 2023

Small, crowded, and a royal pain in the trunk lid to drive into during rush hour, Monaco sounds like an improbable location for a huge car museum. And yet, this tiny city-state has been closely linked to car culture for over a century. It hosts two major racing events every year, many of its residents would qualify for a frequent shopper card if Rolls-Royce issued one, and Prince Rainier III began assembling a collection of cars in the late 1950s. He opened his collection to the public in 1993 and the museum quickly turned into a popular tourist attraction. The collection continued to grow after his death in April 2005; it moved to a new facility located right on Hercules Port in July 2022. Monaco being Monaco, you'd expect to walk into a room full of the latest, shiniest, and most powerful supercars ever to shred a tire. That's not the case: while there is no shortage of high-horsepower machines, the first cars you see after paying ˆ10 (approximately $11) to get in are pre-war models. In that era, the template for the car as we know it in 2023 hadn't been created, so an eclectic assortment of expensive and dauntingly experimental machines roamed whatever roads were available to them. One is the Leyat Helica, which was built in France in 1921 with a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-twin sourced from the world of aviation. Fittingly, the two-cylinder spun a massive, plane-like propeller. Government vehicles get a special spot in the museum. They range from a Cadillac Series 6700 with an amusing blend of period-correct French-market yellow headlights and massive fins to a 2011 Lexus LS 600h with a custom-made transparent roof panel that was built by Belgian coachbuilder Carat Duchatelet for Prince Albert II's wedding. Here's where it all gets a little weird: you've got a 1952 Austin FX3, a Ghia-bodied 1959 Fiat 500 Jolly, a 1960 BMW Isetta, and a 1971 Lotus Seven. That has to be someone's idea of a perfect four-car garage.  One of the most significant cars in the collection lurks in the far corner of the main hall, which is located a level below the entrance. At first glance, it's a kitted-out Renault 4CV with auxiliary lights, a racing number on the front end, and a period-correct registration number issued in the Bouches-du-Rhone department of France. It doesn't look all that different than the later, unmodified 4CV parked right next to it. Here's what's special about it: this is one of the small handful of Type 1063 models built by Renault for competition.

Are you the facelifted Toyota Yaris?

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

As basic transportation goes, there's not a lot to complain about with the Toyota Yaris. The five-door hatch (not to mention its JDM cousin, the Vitz) are due for upgrades, though, having toddled along in its current form since the 2011 model year. Now, we have what looks to be leaked images of the new Yaris, straight from a Japanese brochure.
The next-gen Yaris was previewed in Frankfurt by the Yaris Hybrid-R Concept. Surprisingly, both the standard version and the RS (shown above) share a strong resemblance with the Frankfurt concept. That gaping lower intake remains, while a pointy, sharp front end shares a resemblance with the new Aygo city car (though the Yaris won't have a giant X on its face like its smaller cousin). The lower intake is flanked by a pair of what we're guessing are non-functional grilles, which house the fog lights. There are only a few small images of the rear of the car, which looks more like an evolution of the current five-door hatch.
The interior looks rather racy, with a small, thick-rimmed, leather-wrapped steering wheel and black cloth seats with red contrast stitching. There's a bright red button to the right of the steering wheel on this right-hand-drive JDM model, which could indicate the arrival of pushbutton start. Under hood of this Mazda-built Toyota should be a Mazda Skyactiv engine. That gives us hope that this latest Toyota compact will be imbued with some sense of driving fun.
