Incredible One Owner 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj 60 Landcruiser on 2040-cars
Edmond, Oklahoma, United States

Simply an incredible 30 year old FJ60. This Cruiser hums nicely down the highway at 70 mph with no problem. Truly one of a kind Land Cruiser that gets looks and compliments most every day. More than that, this is a reliable Cruiser that I believe is good for another 30 years. The paint is 30 years old and original. The interior is all original except for a Sony cassette/AM/FM stereo with 20 watt Infinity speakers. It is a beautiful, yet aged brown with factory pin-striping. I've seen many Cruisers and none better looking or better performing than this vintage 1983 model. It is with real hesitation that I list this Land Cruiser. I've lost my company truck as I've changed jobs and need to sell this Land Cruiser in order to raise funds to buy a car that will get great highway miles. I waited for a long, long time for this 1983 Land Cruiser. I passed on many Cruisers but couldn't pass on this one when I saw it for sale in May of 2013. I bought it from the original owner. Pics of the original title are included in this ad. The original owner took great care of this Cruiser and used synthetic oils. A new engine and transmission we installed less than 30,000 miles ago.
There are awesome after market parts on the exterior of this Land Cruiser. There is a stout ARB safari bumper on the front of the Cruiser with three HELLA lights. There are side rails on each side of the vehicle that will support a standing adult. There is a rear bumper with spare tire and attachment on the back of the vehicle. These are high end parts that were purchased from Man-E-Fre. They add a very rugged, yet appealing look to the Land Cruiser and offer great protection. This 1983 FJ60 starts right up and drives great with no problems. It is aligned and balanced and ready to go. The dash is perfect with zero cracks or issues. There are no rust issues with this Land Cruiser and no real dings of note. However, since it is 30 years old there are a number of very small paint chips particular at the front of the vehicle. For a 30 year old Land Cruiser, however, the exterior is in very excellent condition. The only "question mark" would be above the right rear tire where the original owner had primed that part for a stainless steel add on but chose not to do so. There is an area that looks like dirt stuck to the priming material. I'm guessing this can be buffed out but I have not attempted to do so in concern of how it would effect the paint. A picture of this area is included. This Land Cruiser does have a very minor amount of oil that will leak. It's not a significant enough leak to where oil must be added between oil changes. The head liner is original and in great shape with no sagging. The interior lights work perfect. Included in purchase is a cork gasket set for the oil pan that would address this minor issue. The four wheel drive works great. This is a vehicle that would get good looks in Beverly Hills or be able to pull through nasty terrain for hunting or exploring. The AC works great. The heater works perfect. I'll now include upgrades and features added to make this Land Cruiser truly one of a kind: *Brand New Tires 31/10.5/R15 with less than 100 miles ($732.99 with records) *Engine and Transmission overhauled at 174,896. Records of this are available as it was a $6,900 job. *ARB Front Winch Bumper *ARB Front Fender *ARB Side Step Rails *Kaymar Rear Tow Bumper with spare tire mount and high lift jack mount. There is a remaining pivot for gasoline can mount. *Rancho RS 9000 adjustable shocks *Old Man Emu greasable springs *Detroit locker on rear right tire. This is an incredibly strong no-spin locker. *Man-E-Fre 2 1/4 Exhaust System *Man-E-Fre 6-in-1 Headers *Man-E-Fre billet cam shaft (has machined in cam ring gear not pressed on like the OEM version. The cam ring gear drives the distributor and oil pump). *Man-E-Fre transmission-transfer connection case hose *Man-E-Fre high output alternator *Man-E-Fre front anti-sway bar *Man-E-Fre intake manifold heater *Mallory electronic LED distributor *Radiator replaced *Rebuilt power steering pump *Power steering pump oil cooler *Tinted windows (beginning to come unloosened) *AMS Oil two-filter bypass oil unit *Hella 100 watt spot light with cover *Two Hella 55 watt fog lights with covers *Hella dual horns *Full synthetic lubricants used in engine, transmission, transfer case, grease fittings, differential, bearings. *Aluminum wheels, 8 inch, including spare. *ALL ORIGINAL FACTORY MANUALS NOTE: Man-E-Fre is a Land Cruiser specialty company in California that imports or manufactures parts for Toyota Land Cruisers. Note: Estimate that after-market exterior parts are over $4,100. Also included in the purchase of this Land Cruiser will be an incredible amount of quality spare parts to get you through the next 30 years. I'm confident that no vintage Land Cruiser has ever been listed that includes such an exhaustive list of parts and service materials. The original owner that I bought this Cruiser from in May of 2013 was an absolute Cruiser fanatic and had purchased the essential spare parts needed to drive this vehicle forever. The original owner was no longer able to drive this Cruiser due to a rugged and developing hip problem. The include parts and service items include but are not limited to: *A remanufactured alternator *A new and complete distributor *Spark coil *New fuel pump *Complete set of front seat belt assembly *One set of cam gears *One bell housing and pressure plate *One used cam *One case of synthetic lithium grease for packing wheel bearings *Sears battery charger attached to vehicle battery that can charge battery via AC plug *One used clutch *One rebuilt differential hogs head *One used exhaust manifold *Five brand new platinum spark plugs *One electronic ignition *One master cylinder *One slave for the master cylinder *One distributor shaft with counter weights *One smog pump *One case of 75/90 100% synthetic gear lube *FIVE original factory RIMS (15x8 with lugs) *One carburetor rebuild kit *One PCV valve *One new Air Conditioning Compressor *Complete set of belts for alternator, water pump, AC compressor *One cork set gasket for the oil pan *Two vacuum actuators *One new thermostat *Miscellaneous gaskets, O rings and new light bulbs NOTE: My mechanic estimates that there are over $3,000 in spare parts and service materials. Again, this is a unique offer with so many after market exterior add-ons to this Land Cruiser AND the valuable spare parts that should keep this Cruiser going for another 30 years. This vehicle drives and handles great. The tires are brand new with less than 100 miles on them. There are several folders full of records of work and service performed on this Land Cruiser. There are service and repair manuals included. The original owners manuals from 1983 are included. I will include a number of pictures that should answer most questions. Additional questions may be emailed to pauljasongibow@gmail.com. I'm not a mechanic but will try my best to answer any and all questions with honesty. |

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016
Wed, Jan 27 2016If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4. Toyota Prius Eco 61 5. Volkswagen E-Golf 61 6. Nissan Leaf S / Leaf SV 61 7. Kia Soul Electric 59 8.
Sales incentive growth clustered around brands with few CUVs, trucks
Wed, 24 Sep 2014While it's arguably been around the longest, the dominance of the four-door sedan has been under threat for many years. As a further sign of the hurtin' that SUVs and crossovers have put on today's four-doors, a new report from Automotive News points to the increasing use of incentives by brands reliant on cars and light on CUVs and pickups.
Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Kia have all been stung by double-digit increases in their incentives-to-transaction price ratio, according to AN, which cites data from TrueCar. Honda's ratio is up 14 percent, while Toyota, VW and Kia are up 18, 15 and 19 percent, respectively.
"Most of the incentive growth we have seen is in product segments with low demand - midsized or large sedans," TrueCar CEO John Krafcik told AN. "As this trend goes on, the brands with three-sedan strategies are going to be in worse shape on incentive spending than the crossover brands."
Toyota Prius sales could come up short in 2013
Sat, 06 Jul 2013A Toyota executive has said that the automaker's hybrid Prius model may not reach its 2013 goal of selling 250,000 units in the US marketplace. Bill Fay, group vice president for Toyota's US sales, told Reuters, "The 240,000 to 250,000 range is kind of where we're settling our sights for the Prius family."
The first-generation Prius, a five-passenger model, was introduced to the States in 2001 (its arrival made it the second mass-produced hybrid, after the two-seat Honda Insight). The second-generation model arrived in 2004, followed by the current third-generation design that arrived for the 2010 model year. The automaker has subsequently added the Prius V, a hatchback wagon (shown above) and the Prius C, a subcompact hatchback. As of March, 2013, cumulative worldwide sales of the Prius had reached 3.67 million units.
Last year, Toyota sold 236,659 Prius models in the US. However, sales of the model have fallen 5.1 percent in the first six months of 2013. In response, the automaker has boosted its marketing for the model, and the promotions are expected to continue through at least July.
