CONDITION:

This Cruiser is in very good condition and runs good but could use a little TLC. Let me get the worst out of the way before the best!

One of the break lines i changed needs to be double crimped at the end. I used an old single crimper, so the system leaks off every two months or so (an easy fix).
There is a dent in the front right fender (both fenders are new however and have only 5000 miles on them).
I removed the old headliner so the inside roof isn't so pretty, in fact the whole top needs to be restored. Its condition is very usable but to finish off this cruiser the top and doors must be gone over.
The front doors are in terrible condition (the normal bottom section). I obtained a set of older doors w/wing windows several years ago and planned to swap them out, just never found the time. The older doors are not in excellent condition but are in good condition and come with the cruiser.
Trans. the original 1st gear has worn a bit and will pop out under extra pressure. I have an extra Trans and transfer case that I know to be solid, it also comes with the cruiser.
Cracks in the original dash.

HISTORY:

I bought this Cruiser in Fairfield, Ohio in 1989 and it has been my long standing friend since then. I did leave the country for a few years and transfured the title to my father for a short time incase something happened to me but it is in my name currently and has been in my possession since 1989. I am the 3rd owner (excluding my father) and it has always been in the Greater Cincinnati area since it was bought new. The second owner was a young lady that became pregnant and was afraid it would be to rough a ride for the baby thus sold it to me. I met the first owner when he recognized it one day shortly after I had bought it. It has always been a great vehical and a daily driver up until last year when I got a very badly needed small truck. I don't have anywhere to store my old friend and cannot afford the extra vehicle right now. I am half heartedly selling it in hopes that someone else will take care of her and enjoy her for many more years like i have.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

Toyota Supra ready for its retrospective video closeup

Mon, 20 May 2013

Our friends at XCAR have taken the time to train their lenses on the iconic Toyota Supra. With Toyota finally back into the performance car game, it seems only logical to remember one of the brand's most legendary sports cars. While we're all busy ladling praise onto the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins, it's important to remember that Toyota used to produce all manner of fun-to-drive machinery. The Supra once sat at the top of that list, its most recent iteration giving buyers the option of a ludicrous forced-induction inline six, gorgeous styling and plenty of presence.
Of course, the legend didn't stop once the Supra fell off American order sheets in 1998. Always an aftermarket darling, the Supra has gone on to become a tuner favorite in nearly every corner of grassroots motorsport. From drag racing to road racing and everywhere in between, the Supra is remains a force to be reckoned with nearly 15 years after it last prowled the US auto market. You can catch the tribute from XCAR below.

Watch Congress sample Toyota's i-Road 3-wheeler concept

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Toyota brought its new i-Road, a three-wheeled, all-electric low-speed vehicle that debuted in 2013 at the Geneva Motor Show, to the Capitol for some of our elected officials to test out. As easy as it is to forget that politicians are people, too, it was refreshing to see a human side to many of them as they zipped about one of the Capitol's many meeting rooms.
We'd say their reactions were surprisingly positive. Of course, some were just down there because Toyota is a big presence in their respective districts, but the bulk of the senators and representatives seemed like they just wanted to zip about the makeshift indoor course on the leaning trike.
Take a look below at the video from Bloomberg.
