recent service include, new alt, p/s, a/c fan belts were replaced. lube and oil filter. brake fluid, clutch fluid, coolant flushed and filled with new. since Calif smog std. gotten more strict this year, currently the car is "NOT PASS CALIF SMOG" unless modify original carb to reduce CO level. so at this time i would prefer to sell to the buyer from outside of California. This vehicle was originally sold new in San Diego, CA. The vehicle was produced toward the end of production run. (1979 1/2). I was told from the last owner he was the 2nd owner. (which makes me 3rd, if his statement was correct). I am selling because the vehicle is not used. It sat in the garage for last three years, sat on the street for two years before that. "RUSTING" is the major project with this car. the work done before (years ago with last owner) was not done correctly, therefore the rust is finally coming through. Mechanically, the engine and trans runs and hums like original FJ55 supposed to. So they are in very good condition. (NO WARRANTY is implied here). The vehicle has little over 114 thousand original miles. No manifold leaks, great clean exhaust system. I take this vehicle to get serviced at my mechanic. He was a former Toyota technician when he was in Japan so he is familiar with older vintage Landcruisers. I have owned different Landcruisers in last 20 years, I learned quickly, not any mechanic know how to fix these vintage vehicles. Interior is in very good shape for it's age. It has rare wall to wall grey carpet, the dash is not original, it was redone by last owner. Ceiling liner is near perfect except for sun visors. One of the seat belt is not working. Rear gate lock from outside does not work. looks like some broken piece was left in the cylinder. No radio but different after market radio was installed in inside of glove compartment (it was cut into), so now after removing the radio with amp unit (was not working when I bought) I have a big hole at bottom of the glove compartment. so any wires you see on the pic is related from radio with amp removal. Moisture got in from rusted roof when it was parked outside in the rain and gauges no longer respond except for speedmeter. The vehicle has very rare factory options. (power steering, A/C (compressor was replaced one time), roof rack, tinted front windshield, wall to wall carpet, etc.). I am looking for (I would prefer to pass this car to) somebody truly into old Landcruisers, somebody knows how to rebuild the vehicle. it needs covered garage, good home. I wa told an used chopped roof assembly is about $700-$1000. so cut and weld work is needed then followed with prime and paint. Now I see surface cracks on tires since aging from sitting. Currently the registration is up to date. I have the pink. Clean Title. If you are close, drive this home with your own risk. Or I will be happy to help coordinate with your shipping company to load it up per your clear instruction.

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey
Mon, 30 Jun 2014Once again, the most American car on the market is from an American brand. The Ford F-150 retained its number one spot in Cars.com's annual survey of the most American vehicles, trumping the Toyota Camry, which remains at number two.
Ford taking the top spot is small consolation, though, as the Detroit Three aren't too well represented here. General Motors scored a win at number seven, with the Chevrolet Corvette, while Chrysler squeaked in at number ten, with the Dodge Viper. Outside of those three vehicles, Toyota and Honda dominate the top ten.
What's most remarkable, though, is that there were so few cars available for this year's list.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
Toyota increasing Yaris Hybrid production to 222,000 this year in France
Mon, Feb 24 2014More fuel economy means more factory workers and more production for Toyota's most popular model in Europe. That simple equation explains why the Japanese automaker is boosting annual production of its gas- and hybrid-powered Yaris compact vehicles at its French factory. The new number will be about 222,000, a 15 percent increase. To do that, Toyota will need to add about 500 workers to bring its total there to more than 4,000, UK's The Green Car Website says. Vive le Toyota! Toyota updated the European Yaris in the middle of 2011 and added a hybrid version later that year, the model has many fans across the pond. It helps that they hybrid is rated (using the friendlier European standards) at a whopping 81 miles per gallon, a tremendous number for a car that costs approximately $26,000. Toyota could soon have a bit more room in the small hybrid segment, since it was reported recently that Honda would discontinue European sales of its Insight and CR-Z hybrids soon. That decision was made easier because of increasing competition from Toyota, which boosted hybrid sales in Europe last year by 43 percent. In contrast, both the CR-Z and Insight experienced more than a 60-percent plunge in European sales in 2013.
