I am selling my 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60.   


Exterior:  The body of this truck is in average condition for a Land Cruiser.  It does have rust on the bottom of the body (Rockers, wheel wells, etc) as well as underneath/frame.  Please note that this vehicle has spent most of its life in Indiana and is subject to harsh winters.  Most Land Cruisers have rust, so this should be no shock to a buyer.  As far as I could tell, There is no rust on the roof or tailgate (These are other usual Land Cruiser rust spots).  Some of the rust has been repaired/prevented by a previous owner.  From 10-15 feet away, the truck looks pretty good for the age.  It's still certainly a head turner, especially in the Midwest where classic Land Cruisers are VERY uncommon.  The roof was recently painted with a white Plasti-Dip spray.  This spray can be removed like a sticker if you do not like the look.  The same can be said for the grille and front/rear bumpers.  Again, it removes like a sticker causing no damage to the surface below.  I had this done to customize the appearance and give it a more classic Land Cruiser look!

Interior:  The interior of this truck is in good condition for the year.  The dash board does have a few cracks in it.  You can purchase a color matched dash cover for around $100 right here on eBay.  The seats are in good shape, but the driver's seat was replaced with one from a newer Toyota, and is a different gray cloth material, but doesn't look bad.  In my research, I have found that Dodge Neon seats are a direct replacement for these trucks.  I am in the process of locating a clean set of these to include in the sale (However, I cannot guarantee I find them before the auction is over).  If I do find a set, you will receive the Land Cruiser seats with the truck.  The carpet is in decent shape, but has nice rubber floor mats to protect it.  Recently installed was a Pioneer CD player with a direct iPod control cable that will charge and connect your iPod while using it.  Additionally, new front and rear speakers were installed (Kicker/Sony).  The sound quality is nice!.  All the glass is in good shape with no cracks.  The door locks and windows work just fine (Crank windows/manual locks).  The headliner is very clean and not sagging (Rare for a Land Cruiser).  Also added were aftermarket Oil Pressure, Coolant Temperature, and volt meter gauges.  The factory gauges work, but in my research I found that many Land Cruiser enthusiasts prefer aftermarket gauges to the OEM gauges due to the ability to get a more accurate reading from the new gauges.

Mechanical:  This is one of the smoothest, quietest running vehicles I have ever owned.  It idles nicely and drives smooth.  From a distance, it is so quiet you can barely hear it run!  The 4x4 works and the hubs lock and unlock with ease.  The brakes work just fine and stops the vehicle well.  The rear shoes may need to be replaced down the road because they make noise from time to time when stopping.  I will include a set of new shoes for the winning bidder.  Additionally, it will need new shocks or shock mounts, as they make noise when going over a bump.  It also does not have a spare tire (I have no idea why).  Newer parts are a full tune up, fluid changes, carburetor sorting and tune, power steering pump, thermostat, clutch master cylinder, choke cable, CD player & speakers (As indicated above), and a new battery with tooless/quick disconnect terminals.  All exterior lights work properly.

Other:  The previous owner informed me that some emissions equipment was removed some time ago.  If you are in a state that checks for emissions on this old of a vehicle, you will need to check about that status.  Indiana does not perform mandated emissions testing statewide, thus this Land Cruiser has not been subjected to any testing and I do not know if this would/will pass your state's emission requirements.  Additionally, some time ago the Air Conditioning compressor and it's hoses going to the inside of the car were removed (I am unsure why).  This truck IS equipped with A/C, so you should be able to source the other pieces from a salvage yard, parts store, or other places to get your A/C working again.  The heat is HOT and will keep you warm in cold weather.  It even has a blower under the passenger seat that can be adjusted from hot to cold, and it still works!

Mileage/Title/Additional Information:  The title on this truck is CLEAN AND CLEAR, and not rebuilt.  It is registered in my name and ready to be signed over to a new owner.  The mileage information on the title, as issued by the State of Indiana is exempt.  I was informed by a representative from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles that vehicles over ten years old are usually subject to being labeled as exempt from mileage.  Also, this truck has 159,000 miles.  The speedometer needle broke while driving and I replaced the entire gauge cluster with a different one, so the odometer reads 119,000 miles.  Again, this is exempt from the State of Indiana odometer information as indicated on the title, but I wanted to inform of the speedometer change-out.  Regardless, this is still low mileage for a Land Cruiser, and really a Toyota in general.  It is very hard to find one with less than 200,000 miles on it.


Bidding:  By bidding on this auction, you agree that you have read all information in this listing and understand the condition, age, and anything mentioned in the title.  I will check all bidder's feedback.  If you have been known to be a non-paying bidder in the past, I will contact eBay and cancel your bid.  Please only bid if you intend to purchase the Toyota.

Winning Bidder:  By winning this auction, you agree to all terms as disclosed in this auction.  By 48 hours after the auction close, you will pay a $500 deposit via PayPal, additionally, you will also pay a $75 handling/document preparation fee (This is on top of the entire purchase price, so Purchase Price + $75= Total Amount and also includes a final wash, wax, and interior detailing).  By the end of seven days of winning the auction, you agree to send a certified check from your bank for the remaining balance.  The vehicle and title will not be released until this check clears with my bank.  This is pretty standard for vehicles sold on eBay.  If you do not pay any amount by the end of the seven days, you will be reported to eBay as a non-paying bidder, and you agree to be charged a $50, non-refundable fee for failing to pay.  This will be done via PayPal and is, again, not refundable.  Additionally, you forfeit any chance of being able to purchase the vehicle and will be blocked if I must re-list the Land Cruiser.  

Shipping:  Shipping of this vehicle is the buyer's responsibility.  I agree to work with the buyer and shipping company to arrange a time for the vehicle to be picked up.  Please choose a shipper with a good reputation.

Other Information:  All information provided is given according to the best knowledge of the seller at the time of this listing.  This vehicle is a used vehicle, and is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied.  Registration, insurance, and any additional fees in the future are the sole responsibility of the buyer. There are no refunds or returns on the vehicle. Also, I do have this truck for sale locally, and reserve the right to end this auction early if it sells locally.


If you wish to contact me via phone, feel free to do so.  My number is (574)-301-9709

Scion trying to build business case for FR-S convertible as Subaru bows out

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Hope may remain for a convertible version of the Scion FR-S, according to a report from Ward's Auto. You'll recall that rumors were swirling about the feasibility of a rear-drive Toyobaru convertible as early as October, and that back in November, Subaru - which makes the FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 - essentially nixed the idea of an open-topped variant.
"We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen," brand chief Yasuyuki Yoshinaga told Automotive News, according to Ward's, at the Tokyo Motor Show. "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change."
Despite Yoshinaga-san's arguments against a droptop variant, Toyota is apparently still considering the model. Speaking to media at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, Scion's US vice president, Doug Murtha, hinted that the rear-drive droptop was in the works.

Cosworth teases upgrades for Subaru BRZ

Mon, 19 May 2014

Subaru may or may not produce an STI version of the BRZ. Things seem to go back and forth on the subject. But Subaru Tecnica International isn't the only company with a history of tuning Subies. So does Cosworth, and now the British racing firm appears to be turning its attention to the BRZ and its Toyota- and Scion-badged siblings.
For those unacquainted, Cosworth is more than your average tuning company. It's a racing firm first and foremost, having made F1 engines under its own name as well as Ford's (chief among them the all-conquering DFV 3.0-liter V8 of 1960s and 70s fame), not to mention engines for Indy, rally and even high-performance, road-going versions of the Ford Sierra, Chevy Vega and Mercedes 190E. The list goes on and on, but you get the point.
Now withdrawing from Formula One, Cosworth is focusing its attention on tuning road cars again with the launch of the Cosworth Power Package line, the first of which will focus on the Toyota GT86 (aka Scion FR-S) and Subaru BRZ. We don't know just yet what will be included in the packaged dubbed FA-20, but from the video teaser below, it seems there'll be upgrades to the exhaust, suspension, aero and - if we're lucky - maybe a super- or turbocharger for the 2.0-liter flat-four engine. We'll have to wait and see, but we get the feeling that with Cosworth on the job, it'll be worth the wait. Check out the minute-long video below in the meantime.

Toyota Camry incentives and fleet sales cranked to keep sales crown, insiders worried

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

We've been watching for some time now as Toyota has piled more incentives on the hood of its Camry sedan, and Automotive News reports that the we're not the only ones with raised eyebrows. The current Camry hasn't even been on the market for two years, but the family sedan segment is more hotly contested than it has been in years. It's that high level of competition that has led the automaker to uncharacteristically add more money on the hood in order to assure it maintains its long-held title of America's Best-Selling Car, a mantle it has owned for a dozen years. It's ramping up fleet sales, too.
According to the analysts at TrueCar, Toyota has bumped incentives per unit every month this year, now totaling some $2,750 as of May, a 38-percent hike over this time last year. That's more spiff money than the segment's other best sellers, the Nissan Altima ($2,400), Ford Fusion ($2,300) and Honda Accord ($1,400), all of whom have actually decreased their incentive spend by 20- to 40-percent over the same period.
The ramp up in incentive spending and fleet sales has analysts concerned that Toyota will tarnish the Camry's historically sterling resale value. ALG pegs the 2013 Camry's current 36-month residual value at 54.4 percent, well ahead of the segment average's 50.9 percent (but shy of the Accord's 55.6 percent). However, analysts are concerned that as the current generation ages, their resale values will eventually plummet if incentives continue to increase as Toyota looks to keep the Camry's best-selling car crown going forward.
