Condition and Assessment:

Body/Frame: There is some rust, but no pitting or structural issues. The Body is in good shape. There is one cancer spot (pictured) on the driver’s side rear below the seal. Otherwise the body is in good shape. Paint is in decent shape, Capri Blue (color code T310)

Electrical: windshield wiper motor is shot. (Additional wiper motor and housing included). Headlights and turn signals work. Factory horn is not working and an aftermarket one is installed with a button on the dash. Speedometer works but needs to be cleaned. (It bounces above 50 mph) Refurbished Intake and new Carb installed. Original Carb included.

Interior/doors: New Soft Top and new Soft Top Bows primed in grey from Real Steel. Trollhole Cruisers is a full time Land Cruiser restoration company who has begun manufacturing soft tops for the older Land Cruisers that look like the old factory soft tops did. It is a brand new high quality top in canvas. The top is on the truck in some pictures but is NOT fully installed, all hardware to complete install IS included. SOR Seat covers over the original front seats. They need to be redone. The rear has a very nice bench seat. All seats have 4 point crow harness systems.

Doors need to be redone so glass is secure. I am including all weather stripping and felt for them. Glass is in good shape. Doors have some rust holes on the bottom. The rear half “barn doors” and rear bumper have been bent and are not fully flush with the rear seal but function and are structurally sound. A 1974 factory roll bar is included all though not original to this year or truck.

 

Engine/Drivetrain: The 1F runs strong and has been converted from a 3 on the tree to a floor shifter. The rear main seal needs to be replaced so the Cruiser does “mark its territory” with a nickel sized oil stain after being driven for 30 minutes. All cylinders have good compression.
_________________________________________________________________________
This Land Cruiser would be good for a full restoration, a weekend driver, or for a trail truck. Mechanically it has had a lot of love and new parts. A new top, new badging and decent paint make it a beautiful truck and with more work it will only increase in value.

 

Truck has a clear Mississippi Title. It is located in Madison, MS and is 30 minutes from the Jackson Airport. I will assist with shipping at buyers expense.

Seller reserves right to end auction early. All sales are final with vehicle being sold where is, as is. The truck and clear title remain with seller until complete payment is received!

 

Contact and Questions:

Please ask any questions here on ebay as others will probably have the same questions. Once the auction is over I will be available via phone to work with the buyer on shipping if needed.

IIHS updates overlap test: 2 SUVs get good marks, 9 fare poorly

Tue, Dec 13 2022

Vehicles in crashes keep occupants safe by deforming around the cabin in a way that maintains cabin integrity. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's moderate overlap test, introduced in 1995, has been a huge contributor to improved safety for front-row passengers in a crash. IIHS President David Harkey said, "Thanks to automakers’ improvements, drivers in most vehicles are nearly 50% less likely to be killed in a frontal crash today than they were 25 years ago." In the 'unintentional side effects' column, crash safety has gotten worse for passengers in the back seats. When carmakers reengineered the front crash structure to protect the driver, more crash forces got distributed throughout the rear. IIHS research claims rear passengers have a 46% greater risk of fatal injury than front-row passengers, but back-seaters haven't benefited from the same upgrades in safety as the front row. The IIHS updated its moderate overlap test to address the issue, putting 15 vehicles through the new regime. Two earned good ratings — the 2023 Ford Escape and the 2021-2023 Volvo XC40 — one was acceptable, three were marginal and nine were rated poor. Every one of the crossovers sampled got good marks for all passengers in the original test. That test sees 40% of vehicle's width on the driver's side impacting an aluminum honeycomb barrier at 40 miles per hour. The updated test puts a crash dummy representing small woman or 12-year-old child in the seat behind the driver, the dummy's sensors and grease paint measuring the effectiveness of the restraints and the forces a human body would need to endure. To achieve a good rating, the "measurements must not exceed limits indicating excessive risk of injury to the head, neck, chest, abdomen or thigh." An institute engineer said, "In real-world crashes, chest injuries are the most common serious rear-seat injuries for adults." The sensors and video evidence showed back seat dummies in the Escape and XC40 endured minimal risk of injuries from excessive crash forces, from submarining under the seat belt, or from unwanted interaction with the side curtain airbag.   The Toyota RAV4 scored acceptable. The second-row dummy also endured minimal risk of injury to the chest and lower extremities. However, the lap belt slipped upward in a way that could increase abdominal injuries, and after the dummy's head dipped during crash impact, the head came back up between the rear curtain airbag and rear window.

Meet the Most Elegant Automobile, and it's for sale

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

Alright, so maybe "most elegant" is a bit of a stretch, but we feel safe in calling the 1992 Toyota Paseo in the video below an "automobile." High praise, we know. Still, it's clear someone loves the awkward little coupe enough to produce a hilarious video to sell the thing. Henry Floyd worked up a quick parody of the over-the-top luxury car ads we all know and loathe, and while the finished product is a little skimpy on details like price or location, it certainly doesn't hold back on the exposition.
Hell, if we didn't already have a parade of horrible ideas floating around our collective driveways, we might even be convinced to give this little heap a new home. You can check out the ad for yourself below, just don't be surprised if you find yourself with a burning desire to own a Paseo.

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.
