Up for auction is this 1972 Land cruiser fj55 survivor. This is completely original from the paint to the radio. It was bought locally here in Colville Washington and has spent all its life in the area. I am the fourth owner and there is a collection of original registrations in the glove box dating back to 1972 which shows the previous owners. The older gentleman I got it from owned it for the last 20+ years and it spent the last 3 years sitting behind his barn where I found it. After getting it home and adjusting the points it fired up and idled. It still has very old gas in it that should be drained and I'm sure a tune up wouldn't hurt but it does start right up every time. I replaced the water pump recently. It has the original in-line 6 cylinder engine and 3 speed transmission. The 4 wheel drive works great. The windshield is cracked and the rear electric window does not operate. It is complete but the glass is currently rolled down. All other glass is in excellent shape. The interior is in excellent shape for its age. The only thing not original here is the front seat has been re-upholstered and looks great. The body is very straight and solid with very limited rust issues. Both front fenders have areas of bubbling on the bottom corners. Both rear quarter panels and corners have body damage shown in the pictures and video. The roof, drip rails, rocker panels and floors are solid and straight. All lights work except for both headlights. I haven't taken the time to figure that one out yet. The brakes work but definitely need gone through. The few times I've driven it around the neighborhood, they pulled to the right. The tires will need replaced due to age and weathering but they do hold air and I have driven around on them. This fj55 is equipped with the rare PTO driven 8000 lb. Rhino winch. I haven't gotten the winch to engage but the PTO does engage and the shaft spins as it should. Another rare option is the chrome roof rack. I've only seen one other with this option, it is very cool and in great shape! All chrome trim is in great shape except for the rear reflectors and the license plate light housing. If you've been looking for one of these, you know how hard it is to find one in this nice original shape without being modified or restored. You won't be disappointed with this fj55.

Please ask any questions you have before bidding. Once again, this is a NO-RESERVE auction so good luck!

After tinkering with the headlights for a bit tonight, they started working. Seemed to be either corrosion or short in the switch. So all the lights work now, nice and bright!

Toyota gives dealers permission to drop Scion, shows them FR-S droptop, Juke rival first
Mon, 19 Aug 2013We recently heard that Toyota could be looking to shrink its network of Scion dealerships, and now Automotive News is reporting that the automaker has officially given its dealers the green light to dump Scion without any penalties. Currently, Scion has about 1,000 dealers, yet our report from August 8 quotes an industry analyst as suggesting a healthier figure would be between 350 and 500 outlets. But before its current dealers make a decision on whether or not to get rid of the youth-oriented brand, Toyota also showed off a couple potential future products in the pipeline.
The FT-86 Open Concept shown above was revealed back in March at the Geneva Motor Show, and AN says that an FR-S convertible was driven on stage at a recent national Toyota dealer meeting in Atlanta. There has still been no definitive word one way or another as to whether the droptop model will be built, but it could be a good way to follow up to the popular FR-S coupe. Another possible future product is a subcompact crossover, which was shown in drawing form at the meeting, presumably aimed at small CUVs like the Nissan Juke and the upcoming Honda CUV based on the Fit, a model recently previewed by the automaker's Urban SUV concept.
Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
