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!!!!

U.S. and Toyota Reach Settlement Over Safety Problems Disclosure

Wed, Mar 19 2014

The U.S. has reached a $1.2 billion settlement with Toyota Motor Corp., concluding a four-year criminal investigation into the Japanese automaker's disclosure of safety problems, according to a person close to the investigation. Attorney General Eric Holder, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara, were announcing the settlement Wednesday morning, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the settlement on the record before the announcement. TOP 5Most Researched Green Cars On AOL Autos 2013 Honda Fit EV MSRP : $36,625 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV MSRP : $26,685 2012 Mitsubishi i-MiEV MSRP : $29,125 2012 Ford Focus Electric MSRP : $39,200 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in MSRP : $32,000 In a statement early Wednesday, Toyota said it has "cooperated with the U.S. Attorney's office in this matter for more than four years" and had "made fundamental changes to become a more responsive and customer-focused organization, and we are committed to continued improvements." The criminal investigation focused on whether Toyota was forthright in reporting problems related to unintended acceleration troubles. Starting in 2009, Toyota issued massive recalls, mostly in the U.S., totaling more than 10 million vehicles for various problems including faulty brakes, gas pedals and floor mats. From 2010 through 2012, Toyota Motor Corp. paid fines totaling more than $66 million for delays in reporting unintended acceleration problems. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration never found defects in electronics or software in Toyota cars, which had been targeted as a possible cause. The settlement continues a string of bad publicity for Toyota, which before the unintended acceleration cases had a bulletproof image of reliability. Since the cases surfaced, the company's brand image has been damaged and it has lost U.S. market share as competition has intensified. Last year, Toyota agreed to pay more than $1 billion to resolve hundreds of lawsuits claiming that owners of its cars suffered economic losses because of the recalls. But that settlement did not include wrongful death and injury lawsuits that have been consolidated in California state and federal courts. In December, Toyota filed court papers after a four-year legal battle saying that it's in settlement talks on nearly 400 U.S. lawsuits, but other cases aren't included in the talks.

Toyota announces Geneva plans including droptop FT-86 Open concept

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Automakers from around the globe are gearing up for the Geneva Motor Show next month, and Toyota is giving us a couple teasers of what will be in its display. In addition to what appears to be a single-seat concept called the i-Road (shown at right), Toyota will also give us our first look at a droptop Scion FR-S courtesy of the FT-86 Open Concept.
All we have to go on right now is this sketch shown above, but we do see that this car will retain its rear seats, which could be a potential advantage over one of its key rivals, the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Toyota says that this concept will be used to gauge public interest in such a convertible, but we've already heard that a Scion convertible is already planned to go on sale as soon as early next year. As far as Toyota's other concept, there also isn't much information about the i-Road except that it will be a zero-emissions vehicle and it will have seating for two passengers, which based on the drawing will have the driver sitting in front of the passenger.
Toyota will also show off the European version of the new RAV4 as well as its new Auris Touring Sports, which it refers to as a "medium-size estate." Scroll down for Toyota's tease of a press release.

Toyota i-Road is no less strange in the flesh

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We've seen plenty of three-wheeled creations in our day, but none quite like the Toyota i-Road Concept. The "personal mobility vehicle" offers seating for two with driver and passenger positioned in a tandem position. While that may sound more like a motorcycle than a car, the closed cockpit means riders don't need a helmet. The design also takes a page from the 2008 Peugeot HyMotion3 Concept with an articulating front suspension that allows the driver to lean through corners thanks to "Active Lean" self-balancing technology. Unlike the funky Pug, however, the i-Road is a fully electric plug-in vehicle.
While there are just five-horsepower on hand from an electric motor, the i-Road should serve up a range of around 30 miles thanks to its lithium-ion battery, and Toyota claims the cells can be topped off in three hours with a "conventional domestic power supply." Sounds majestic. Take in the full press release below.
