Pleasant Grove, Utah, United States
|
Condition: Body is solid without any large dents, has some minor rust in rockers side and rear, common for early Cruisers. Paint needs to be refreshed. This was the next step in the restoration just haven't gotten to it. Interior is Good, the seats have had Indian covers since we purchased it, and it SLEEPS IN THE GARAGE. V8 Conversion has less than 500 mile on it, we only drive it occasionally in Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons. We leave the top off and wait for good weather. It is a blast to drive and has LOTS of POWER!!
Features: Completed a Chryler V8 Conversion w/ Automaic and Jeep two speed transfer case also Ford 9" Custom Posi rear end. Preserved the original wheel bolt pattern. Chrysler conversion has oil filter on passenger side and eliminates the need to alter stock steering. Torquer Camshaft, performance; heads, induction, oil pump. Built it for performance and reliability, not to radical. New Aluminum 3" radiator with electric cooling fans, heavy duty trans cooler, new brakes. Hard top with full height doors included, they have side windows that crank up and down, included as well are rear side by side doors. Also new soft top, never put on, just purchased about a year ago. Stock Roll Bar. Dual heaters one front and one rear. Email me if you have questions, I probably forgot somethings. History: Purchased from original owner in the late 1970's early 1980's can't remember exactly, it's been a while. We have owned it ever since. Started the V8 conversion in 1990's always hated the SMOG straight 6 in this model, the 1970 Cruiser I owned had the non smog version and I really liked that motor. Finished conversion about 5 years ago. Haven't driven 500 miles since the conversion, purchased a 66 Cad. Conv. and drive that with my wife now better ride. The 76 Cruiser had a tree limb fall on front drivers side hood and fender and insurance fixed it in the 80's and the paint oxidized few years later, not a good body shop repair. It has never rolled, or been in a flood, never even rubbed hard on rocks. Went to Moab Utah once in the 80's and loved it but haven't been back. A lot of memories tied up with the kids when they were young, just not driving it any more. Not looking for just a buyer.... but a good home for the "Bruiser" as we call it. Shipping and Payment: Shipping NOT included, send cashiers check and will accommodate your shipping arrangements, or schedule a visit and bring cashier check or cash, I will hand you or send you the title. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL - bcapt64@gmail.com It is my direct email and I will respond faster, it goes to my phone. |

Automakers' sound systems: Crank it, don't yank it
Thu, Jun 21 2018Years ago, one of the first things most music lovers did after buying a new vehicle was drive to an aftermarket stereo shop to get the crappy stock components swapped for better gear. And you'd typically get not only better sound but also more bang (and boom) for your buck. But in the past decade or so, the overall quality of OEM audio has dramatically increased, while car electronics became more complex, removing the incentive for most new vehicle owners — and all but the most hardcore DIYer — to start from scratch. In 2010, I did a comparison of the average costs for OEM electronics vs. similar offerings from the aftermarket, and back then automakers' stock premium systems were by far the best bargain — and are probably an even better value now. The premium 14-speaker, 1,200-watt JBL system in the all-new 2019 Toyota Avalon is a prime example of this trend. It's standard on the top two Limited and Touring trims and is available as a $680 audio upgrade on the XLE and XSE. I doubt you can even buy 14 speakers and 1,200 watts of amplification from the aftermarket for 700 bucks, much less have it all installed. And because the system is bundled with Toyota's Entune infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and a surround-view camera, removing the head unit means you would likely lose these features. Another advantage of OEMs and their audio partners is they can design the car around the audio system. In the past, automakers would typically place speakers where convenient for packaging, not for optimal sound reproduction, and audio engineers were forced to compromise. But as with the Avalon's premium JBL audio system, this is starting to change. At a recent behind-the-scenes peek for media into the process of developing the system, Toyota and Harman engineers delved into the minutia of sealing the inner panel of the front doors to create an enclosure for 6x8-inch woofers, making space in the pillars for JBL horn tweeters and extensively measuring the acoustic properties of the interior to tune the sound to the space. I'm met some creative and skilled car stereo installers, but none with a degree in psychoacoustics. The system is also the first to feature Quantum Logic Surround that creates a multi-channel listening experience from two-channel sources. And it includes Harman's Clari-Fi processing that "rebuilds key details lost" in compressed audio formats used by streaming music services and MP3s.
Toyota unintended acceleration lawsuit settled for $16M
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Slowly, the many loose threads still dangling after the unintended acceleration issue Toyota faced a few years ago are being resolved. The Orange County District Attorney's office was believed to be the first DA's office to take Toyota to court, its suit alleging that Toyota knew its cars had defects and continued to sell them. The suit sought to "permanently enjoin Toyota from continued unlawful, unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent business practices as it pertains to both consumers and competitors" and asked for $2,500 "for every violation of the Unfair Business Practices Act," plus costs.
That suit has now been settled, Toyota - without admitting fault or wrongdoing - agreeing to pay $16 million to the county. Half of the money will go to the Orange County Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership, another four million dollars to the OC DA's office to investigate economic crime, the remaining four million being used to pay for the case.
Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.
