****  Awesome 1986 FJ 60 *****


Here is your chance to own an amazing Cruiser with a really cool history.

This Cruiser was purchased by a retired Toyota manager along with 19 other FJ-60's and taken to Costa Rica where it was completely restored 5 years ago.  18 of the Cruisers were sold to folks living there, as they are an ideal vehicle for the place.  This particular FJ was one of his 2 personal Cruisers (one for him and one for his wife) and was used regularly in Costa Rica for about year after being finished.  Once a week, he would pick up the local veterinarian, and take him out through the country to service those that did not come to town.  When they decided to move back home to Oregon, they were not ready to part with their personal FJ's, so they shipped them both back.  For the past 3 years, they had been sitting side by side in his garage, only being driven on rare occasion.  We went to look at one for sale, and ended up buying both of them as a package deal (My wife thought this one would be her daily driver, but she found out that she doesn't like driving a standard transmission in town every day).  Deciding we really don't need two toy's, we have decided to part with this one before we too, become overly attached.

As you will see from the photo's, the FJ is in fantastic condition both inside and out.  As the restoration was done over the course of restoring several others, he didn't bother keeping detailed documents, but as mentioned, this was his personal FJ, so he didn't spare any expense on it.  He did tell me that even buying parts for the projects in bulk, he figures he invested nearly 30k into the project.  Engine, and drivetrain was re-built, all springs and shocks were replaced with new, all body panels were taken apart, painted and put back together, interior was re-done with carpet, custom rubber mat in the back for cargo, and new Kenwood CD player with IPOD connection in glove box.  All the chrome emblems, grill, lights, etc. were replaced.  All window regulators were replaced and properly lubricated so the windows work great.  Custom rear sliding windows were added.  Custom tow hitch and wiring for trailer was installed.  Custom ultra wheels and 33x12x15 BFG mud terrain tires were installed, and are still like brand new.  Custom roof rack, and an ARB bull bumper with Warn 8000 LB winch was installed.  The A/C system was converted to R-134A and we just had it re-freshed so it blows Ice Cold.  

All in all this is an amazing Cruiser that gets tons of looks and compliments.  It looks beautiful from any distance, and would look great in any exhibition, but would likely not be consider "show quality".  It rides and drives great at 5 mph, or at 65 mph out on the hi-way.  Everything works as it should and it is ready to be your every day driver, or your weekend warrior.

I believe that someone is going to get a fantastic deal on this Cruiser.  We are setting our reserve price at less than half of what has been invested just so we can use the money for our other project, a custom 1983 convertible FJ 60.  

We live in Southern Oregon, and we would prefer local pick-up.  If FJ will be shipped, we will help with arrangements for shipping, but all shipping costs, and insurance will be the responsibility of the buyer.  Will will not release the vehicle until payment has bee received in full and verified.

Thank you for looking and good luck! 

*** NOTE Regarding Title:  The Cruiser  has a clean and clear Oregon Title that is currently in the process of being transferred into our name through the Oregon DMV.  We have all documentation showing that we have paid for the transfer.   Vehicle will come with a bill of sale, and if title has not yet been received at time of transaction, it will be sent immediately overnight at our expense after we have received it.

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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Subaru and Toyota PHEV, Nomadic Power grant

Sat, Jun 20 2015

The next generation of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid looks to be important for Mazda and Subaru as well. Toyota will likely need to sell more of the new plug-in hybrid to meet stricter ZEV standards in California. That means it will get more extra electric range, as customers have been asking for. Subaru and Mazda will also have to adhere to the California standards beginning in 2018. Those two smaller automakers will likely license a plug-in hybrid powertrain from Toyota in order to fulfill compliance. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla is partnering with Dalhousie University to improve battery technology. Tesla signed a five-year research agreement with Dalhousie's Jeff Dahn, a lithium-ion battery researcher. Dahn and the 25 researchers in his lab will work with Tesla's Director of Battery Technology, Kurt Kelty, to increase capacity through improved materials. The collaboration could be important both for Tesla's automotive and stationary batteries. "Our research group's goal is to increase the energy density and lifetime of Li-ion batteries, so we can drive down costs in automotive and grid energy storage applications," says Dahn. Read more from Dalhousie University. Nomadic Power is receiving a European Commission grant worth ˆ2 million (about $2.26 million) for trailer-mounted mobile batteries. Nomadic Power's mobile batteries, called Nomads, have incorporated photovoltaic systems and can be used to extend the electric driving range of a plug-in vehicle, or to provide backup power to a home. The Nomads use an intelligent energy management system to learn and predict user behavior and manage the solar system based on weather forecasts. "We see a strong future in electric-powered mobility and an increasing use of renewable energy, photovoltaic power in particular," says Nomadic Power CEO Dr. Manfred Baumgaertner. "Our mobile batteries have great potential in these markets that recently got a significant shot in the arm by Tesla's announcements." Read more from Nomadic Power, and at Green Car Congress.

Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.
