First off, let me say this is a NO-RESERVE auction, so bid to win! Bidders with 0 or negative feedback need to first contact me before placing a bid or your bid will be blocked. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end. Full payment is due within 7 days of auction end. I will only accept payment through Paypal unless you contact me and we agree to an alternative form of payment. All shipping charges and arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer.
Up for auction is this 1972 Land cruiser fj55 survivor. This is completely original from the paint to the radio. It was bought locally here in Colville Washington and has spent all its life in the area. I am the fourth owner and there is a collection of original registrations in the glove box dating back to 1972 which shows the previous owners. The older gentleman I got it from owned it for the last 20+ years and it spent the last 3 years sitting behind his barn where I found it. After getting it home and adjusting the points it fired up and idled. It still has very old gas in it that should be drained and I'm sure a tune up wouldn't hurt but it does start right up every time. I replaced the water pump recently. It has the original in-line 6 cylinder engine and 3 speed transmission. The 4 wheel drive works great. The windshield is cracked and the rear electric window does not operate. It is complete but the glass is currently rolled down. All other glass is in excellent shape. The interior is in excellent shape for its age. The only thing not original here is the front seat has been re-upholstered and looks great. The body is very straight and solid with very limited rust issues. Both front fenders have areas of bubbling on the bottom corners. Both rear quarter panels and corners have body damage shown in the pictures and video. The roof, drip rails, rocker panels and floors are solid and straight. All lights work except for both headlights. I haven't taken the time to figure that one out yet. The brakes work but definitely need gone through. The few times I've driven it around the neighborhood, they pulled to the right. The tires will need replaced due to age and weathering but they do hold air and I have driven around on them. This fj55 is equipped with the rare PTO driven 8000 lb. Rhino winch. I haven't gotten the winch to engage but the PTO does engage and the shaft spins as it should. Another rare option is the chrome roof rack. I've only seen one other with this option, it is very cool and in great shape! All chrome trim is in great shape except for the rear reflectors and the license plate light housing. If you've been looking for one of these, you know how hard it is to find one in this nice original shape without being modified or restored. You won't be disappointed with this fj55.

Please ask any questions you have before bidding. Once again, this is a NO-RESERVE auction so good luck!

After tinkering with the headlights for a bit tonight, they started working. Seemed to be either corrosion or short in the switch. So all the lights work now, nice and bright!

How Toyota's neighbor delayed 23,000 of its deliveries
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Don't you just hate when your neighbors' mess becomes your problem? Toyota certainly has good reason to be upset, after an dirty mishap at a steel mill delayed thousands of vehicle exports from its nearby port in Nagoya, Japan, (pictured above) by as much as a month.
The messy situation occurred on June 22 when the mill near the port lost power and had to burn off an excess buildup of coke oven gas - which isn't exactly a situation friendly to living beings or the environment. According to Automotive News, it caused a massive amount of smoke to emit from the plant that fell as soot and tar on about 23,000 vehicles that were waiting to be shipped out. Getting the models properly cleaned off has been quite a task. A team of 5,000 workers were at the port until this week getting them gleaming again.
Potential Toyota buyers in North America have no need to fret about getting a sullied car, though. A Toyota spokesperson told Automotive News that none of the vehicles were bound for this continent. The automaker is reportedly considering asking the mill's owners for reimbursement for the cost of the weeks of cleanup. Paying for the mistake is, after all, the neighborly thing to do.
Toyota turning landfill gas into hybrid vehicles, indirectly
Fri, Mar 28 2014Chamillionaire certainly wasn't referring to the Toyota Avalon or Camry when he rapped about "ridin' dirty" but maybe he'll change his tune soon. That's because some of the future energy sources for the Kentucky factory that makes those two models will come from gas created from the breakdown of solid waste. So the power behind some of the production at Toyota's largest North American factory will indeed be funky. Toyota is working with Waste Services of the Bluegrass to build a network of wells at a nearby landfill in order to collect the gases. Construction of the system starts next month and will be finished by early next year. The upshot is that the system will produce one megawatt of electricity per hour, which is the equivalent to the power used by 800 houses. Last spring, Toyota said it would start producing the Lexus ES at the Kentucky plant after getting almost a $150 million offer from the state. That's because that model is expected to add 50,000 vehicles to the existing production numbers at the plant. And those production numbers are already large, as Toyota makes both the standard and hybrid versions of both the Camry and Avalon there. Mind you, Toyota's not the first to go this route for factory-energy production. In 2011, General Motors' Orion Assembly Plant started getting about 40 percent of its energy for production of models such as the Chevy Sonic and Buick Verano from methane captured from a landfill nearby. The General estimated at the time that the process would cut the company's energy costs by about $1.1 million a year. Check out Toyota's press release about the Kentucky plant and its future landfill gas below. Landfill Gas to Build Cars and a Greener Community Partnership between Toyota and local landfill turns garbage into good March 24, 2014 GEORGETOWN, Ky. (MARCH, 24 2014) – Can a car company be a vehicle for change? Toyota thinks so. The Kentucky plant that manufactures some of the greenest cars on the road, including two hybrid models, will soon be powered in part by green electricity. Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. has teamed up with Waste Services of the Bluegrass to generate power from local landfill waste, marking the region's first business to business landfill gas to energy initiative. Toyota estimates the locally-generated landfill gas will supply enough power each year for the production of 10,000 vehicles. How it Works As solid waste naturally breaks down in a landfill, it creates gas.
