I have owned 25 Land Cruisers since the early 1970's. I restore some of them and have a wonderful collection of rare vehicles. A contact of mine asked if I would assist him in checking out this attached FJ55. I did assist and as a result he bought it. The cruiser was a California Cruiser its whole life and owned by just one family. It was this buyers intent to restore the pig. He decided after buying it that it was too original to restore. He also decided that it was not what he wanted to keep long term. At that point I had a friend / client in the Philippines who was looking for one to purchase. This client wanted an " all original " only. He ended up, through my introduction, buying the pig. It was shipped to my home here in Temecula as I was to hold on to it until all of the paperwork was done for transport to the Philippines. Well, the paperwork was denied and the Land Cruiser was not allowed to be shipped overseas. The current owner from the Philippines has asked me to sell it for him. As mentioned, this FJ55 is garaged here in Temecula, California. I have taken recent pictures of it as seen in this Ebay ad. It is quite an amazing FJ55. Finding originals in this condition is extremely rare. Toyota did not import many of them. This one also is a 1975, the first year Toyota put in the more robust 2F engine. We did a compression check last week and adjusted the valves. It runs perfect and compression is perfect as numbers indicate above. This engine, because it was so well taken care of, will last a very long time in our opinion. I have owned 4 pigs. This one is the most original and complete that I have ever seen. As many of you know, finding body parts for the old FJ55 Land Cruisers can be very difficult. This one has all of the original parts. It is a 4 speed, floor shift. As many of you also know, the pigs can be prone to heavy cancer rust, especially along the roof line. This one has no Cancer rust. I have the reserve set for the owner at a reasonable price based on the Land Cruisers rarity and condition. As a restorer and owner of many Land Cruisers I can tell you that finding an original in this condition is EXTREMELY RARE. The owner is not going to give it away but he feels the reserve is set fairly. I have taken many detailed pictures. I can also take more of certain area's if you email with that request. Please also email any questions and I will post them for others to see. I am hoping to find a good home for this rare bird. The cruiser can be used with confidence as a daily driver, can be taken on any extended trip and is perfect for car shows. It gets a lot of attention because of its condition are rarity. Good luck bidding. |

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
New version of Toyota FT-1 Concept gets racy for Gran Turismo 6
Thu, 07 Aug 2014Gran Turismo 6 has been the preferred marketing springboard for quite a few brands and concept cars since its debut last winter. Specifically the GT Vision concept idea - allowing manufacturers a built-in place to offer up new, original, drivable content - has enticed the likes of Mercedes, Nissan, Volkswagen, Toyota and more to dream big on the digital stage before pulling the sheets back on real concept cars.
In fact, Toyota teamed its live reveal of the FT-1 Concept at the Detroit Auto Show with an in-game launch of the car, just this past January. Looking for a second bite at the GT6 apple, Toyota has just released a teaser video for a new, FT-1 Vision GT version of the same concept.
The company isn't giving us much to go on save for the 30-second video, saying only that the concept was penned by Toyota's Calty Design Research team in California, and that it will "soon be available for download." By the looks of it, the new FT-1 seems to be more of a racecar than the original, without obvious changes to the basic form. No word on whether or not there's a physical concept car in the offing at a yet-to-be-named auto show. Stay tuned.
Lexus Eco Challenge rewards schools for clean water, briquette press projects
Fri, Feb 28 2014Teams from one New Jersey high school and one Michigan middle school reversed the old adage by thinking locally and acting globally. And that strategy won them the grand prizes in the most recent edition of the Lexus Eco Challenge. The future is indeed bright. The Toyota luxury-vehicle division gave out a half-million dollars in this year's contest. One $30,000 grand prize was awarded to the Pinelands Eco Scienteers from Little Egg Harbor, NJ, which produced and distributed low-cost briquette presses to rural villages beset by deforestation. The other grand prize went to the E.T. Electrical Team from Byron Center West Middle School in Michigan. That middle-school group raised money to send water filters to Haiti, Kenya and the Philippines. Lexus also awarded eight $15,000 first-place awards, with the winners including high schools from California, Florida, Missouri and Pennsylvania as well as middle schools from Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina and Texas. A special shout out goes to Daniel Boone Area High School in Birdsboro, PA, where students created an educational and public-relations campaign to publicize algae-based biofuels. In all, Lexus has doled out more than $4 million in Eco Challenge awards in seven years. Check out Lexus's press release below.
