You are bidding on a 1974 Toyota Landcruiser that was rebuilt.  The body is all steel and replaced from the front cowl back with a new 3/4 body from Iron Pig Offroad.  The only non-steel body items are the rear doors (Specter Off Road) and the transmission hump which are fiberglass.  The wiring is complete new and uses weather tight connection at all points.  The alternator is a 63A single wire from Summit.  All underbody was finished with POR15 products and the interior is coated with spray urethane black bed liner.  The engine is a rebuilt Chevy 350, bored 0.040 over, low compression pistons, remanufactured large valve heads, with a small Holley Truck avenger carb.  The transmission, transfer case, rear differential, and front axles were complete rebuild.  The vehicle has all new brakes, brake lines, cylinders, master cylinder, springs, seals, etc.  All the parts used were genuine Toyota replacement parts except for the oversize V8 aluminum radiator package from Man-a-Fre, the soft top from Best Top, and a custom exhaust that runs above the skid plate. The cruiser comes with fabric half-doors and a set of full fabric doors.  The engine to transmission adapter is from Marks in Australia which allows the transmission holes and shifters to stay in the stock Toyota positions.  If you are looking for a show room finish on the paint, you'll need to do that yourself.  I painted this myself and the paint has a few runs and finish issues.  The good news is that body filler was only used in a few places (front fender attachments) that were first cut out and patched correctly with sheet metal.  At the risk of repeating some items, I've listed below some of the items used in the rebuild:

  • Chevy 350 (rebuilt with new pistons, bearings, HV oil pump, hi-torque cam, Chevy Black powder dress kit, Truck Avenger Carb, Ram Horn manifolds, HEI ignition, seals, Aluminum Radiator, etc.)
  • Frame was degreased, blasted, and POR15 chassis black applied
  • Front end rebuilt (tie rod ends, axle seals, trunion bearings, Pro Comp steering dampener, brakes, wheel cylinders, ss braided hoses, lock out hubs, etc.)
  • Rear Axle rebuilt ( seals, bearings, brakes, wheel cylinders, Pro Comp shock all around, etc.)
  • VDO gages (Electric speedo, oil, water temp, battery voltage)
  • Wiring completely redone with ATC fuse box located in the glove box.
  • New seat foam and covers from Specter Off road
  • Pintle hook on rear bumper
  • Winch ready front bumper
  • Full Custom Roll Cage

A hardtop, rear door w/locking struts( and most new parts to repair), and repairable steel doors (no parts for these) will be included for sales price exceeding $10K.  Otherwise they will be available for $500 to the bid winner if they are wanted.  This vehicle is being offered as is where is.  The Cruiser is offered for pick up or if you want to arrange for shipping from Zip Code 16856.  There is no shipping included.  The title is clear and the buyer is responsible for all title transfer fees and taxes as applicable.  

I've include some pictures. If you have questions or need a specific picture, let me know and I'll respond.  Good luck and happy bidding.

Subcompact sales slump, yet again

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.
