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.

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!

 

 I will be available via phone to work with the buyer on shipping if needed.

BMW tops Consumer Reports 2023 Brand Report Card

Thu, Feb 16 2023

Feels like we wrote about Consumer Reports' 2022 Brand Report Car and 10 Top Picks a few weeks ago, but it was last April. So the mag is back with a ranked roster of 32 brands and 10 vehicles in four categories for your debating pleasure. Starting with the brands, last year's top three were Subaru, Mazda and BMW. This year, the Munich crew climbed two spots to win the prize thanks to "Superb road test scores and solid results in CR’s reliability and owner satisfaction surveys." Subaru narrowly fell to second, maintaining its four-year run in the top three. Mini, eighth last year, jumped five spots to get the last step on the podium. The rest of the top 10 were Lexus (up one spot from last year), Honda (down one spot from last year), Toyota (up three), Genesis (up 12), Mazda (down six), Audi (down three) and Kia (up eight). The magazine and testing outfit says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CRÂ’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." Last year's top 10 had six automakers from Japan, three from Germany (giving Mini credit for England), none from the U.S. or South Korea, and five luxury brands. This year's list counts five makes from Japan, two from Germany because Porsche fell out of the top ten, two from South Korea, still none from the U.S., and four luxury brands. Buick again ranked as the best domestic, dropping to 12th after being 11th last year. The big mover was Lincoln, its 10-place jump up to 16th attributed to better reliability from the Corsair and Nautilus. Tesla's improved overall reliability saw it climb six spots to 17th. Dodge climbed one spot to 15th. Jeep got out of the penalty box in last to come second-to-last. Land Rover fell three places into the penalty spot.  CR's top 10 vehicle models The 10 Top Picks list is practically a new list. Only two holdovers made it to 2023, those being the Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride.

Couple survives 50-foot fall from overpass in Toyota

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

It doesn't matter the make or model - modern vehicles are technological miracles when it comes to occupant protection. Take this story out of New York City, which involved two people going for a very wild ride in a Toyota Matrix.
Carlos and Raquel Broadbelt were on the Cross Bronx Expressway overpass when they hit a patch of ice while dodging a pothole, sending them hurtling into a guardrail and over the side of the overpass. They fell 50 feet onto the road below. Despite the catastrophic accident - and the mangled Toyota - both driver and passenger walked away. The couple spent a night in the hospital just for observation.
The Broadbelts' miraculous survival has even surprised doctors, who told Dave Carlin from CBS New York they'd never seen an accident like it. Take a look below for the full news report from CBS New York.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
