1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60. Great, dependable driver. Recently redone interior. Lift kit with new 35" Toyo Mud Terrain tires, snorkel (not hooked up), paint is presentable but shows wear. Some scratches and small rust areas, but overall very clean. Originally titled in South Carolina. Frame is completely rust free outside of minimal surface rust. Body is bondo free to the best of my knowledge and has very minimal surface rust. Original inline 6 with an exempt odometer. Original owner stated he had the engine rebuilt about 15,000 miles prior to my purchase, but no documentation. Engine starts and runs well. Brakes need checking - not sure if it's from the large tires or if they need work. They do stop the vehicle but should/could work better. AC does not work. Everything else is operable to the best of my knowledge. Nice, clean FJ60 with lots of extras offered at no reserve. For sale locally, seller reserves the right to end auction early.

Common questions I'm getting:

As the description and photos show, this FJ60 has very little frame rust. What I would classify as minimal surface rust on some areas of the frame. Zero rust-through on the frame. It's very clean, shown in photos. The body is very clean as well with minimal areas of rust coming through the paint under the door(s). This is one of the cleanest FJ60s I've ever owned. It is garage kept and was only driven in summer months by me. I have only owned it about 18 months.

The brakes will stop the vehicle but do not work at 100%. I'd estimate them to be working at about a 25% level.

This Cruiser will travel no problem at highway speeds up to 70 MPH. It could be driven home by the buyer, but again, the brakes are not 100% and are probably not the safest option at highway speeds.

The tires (Toyo MTs) likely have less than 500 miles on them and are worth about $1,200 by themselves.

I am selling it because I have a collection of vintage 4x4s which means too many to maintain and store, so this one didn't survive the cut.

I forgot to note in the description - the filler neck on the gas tank will leak if over-filled. It has to be COMPLETELY filled to leak.

If the bids exceed $6,000 I'll pay to have the brakes looked at/repaired prior to shipping or pick-up.

2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser Ultimate Edition

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Introduced at the end of 2006, this is the last year for the Toyota FJ Cruiser, the reincarnated FJ40-series Land Cruiser that will shortly journey to Takama-ga-hara, the Plain of High Heaven. In its first model year, we drove it to SEMA and found it, shall we say, coarse. It bobbled on the freeway and droned in the cabin, its boxy interior providing four bounce-boards for unpleasant frequencies. Tall mirrors helped one work around the eclipse of vision aft of the B-pillars, but navigating traffic required forethought and technique. Its turning circle was measured in kilometers. For the first two years of its life, it needed premium gas. It may have been fun to look at, but we couldn't wait to get out of it.
That's not the case anymore, and now the FJ Cruiser is poised to join a long list of vehicles that got better and better, then got axed.

eBay Find of the Day: Harley-Davidson powered Toyota Prius [w/video]

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Sometimes we pluck cars from the listings of eBay Motors because they're old and interesting, some for being simply lovely, some for rarity and some for pure fun. And sometimes we pick eBay Finds of the Day, because they're hacked apart Toyota Prius' with Harley Davidson V-twin-power; concocted by the same mind that brought you innumerable Jalopnik articles and is partially responsible for the joy that is the 24 Hours of LeMons. This time it's that last one.
A fairly subtle tweet from long-time Jalop contributor and well-regarded grease monkey, Murilee Martin, hipped us to this crazy Frankenstein Prius. Built from the bones of a 2008 Toyota and the heart of a 1986 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, the motive portmanteau is, well... it's a thing.
Toyota's advanced Hybrid Synergy Drive has been unceremoniously wrenched and snipped out of the engine bay, making room (via an artful hole in the hood) for the towering, bored out V-twin. Or, as the maestro himself puts it:

Fewest vehicles ever found eligible for Most American survey

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Once 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.
