Here is the brief story behind this Cruiser. I have owned 25 Land Cruisers since the early 1970's. I restore some of them and have a wonderful collection of rare vehicles. A contact of mine asked if I would assist him in checking out this attached FJ55. I did assist and as a result he bought it. The cruiser was a California Cruiser its whole life and owned by just one family. It was this buyers intent to restore the pig. He decided after buying it that it was too original to restore. He also decided that it was not what he wanted to keep long term. At that point I had a friend / client in the Philippines who was looking for one to purchase. This client wanted an " all original " only. He ended up, through my introduction, buying the pig. It was shipped to my home here in Temecula as I was to hold on to it until all of the paperwork was done for transport to the Philippines. Well, the paperwork was denied and the Land Cruiser was not allowed to be shipped overseas. The current owner from the Philippines has asked me to sell it for him. As mentioned, this FJ55 is garaged here in Temecula, California. I have taken recent pictures of it as seen in this Ebay ad. It is quite an amazing FJ55. Finding originals in this condition is extremely rare. Toyota did not import many of them. This one also is a 1975, the first year Toyota put in the more robust 2F engine. We did a compression check last week and adjusted the valves. It runs perfect and compression is perfect as numbers indicate above. This engine, because it was so well taken care of, will last a very long time in our opinion. I have owned 4 pigs. This one is the most original and complete that I have ever seen. As many of you know, finding body parts for the old FJ55 Land Cruisers can be very difficult. This one has all of the original parts. It is a 4 speed, floor shift. As many of you also know, the pigs can be prone to heavy cancer rust, especially along the roof line. This one has no Cancer rust. I have the reserve set for the owner at a reasonable price based on the Land Cruisers rarity and condition. As a restorer and owner of many Land Cruisers I can tell you that finding an original in this condition is EXTREMELY RARE. The owner is not going to give it away but he feels the reserve is set fairly. I have taken many detailed pictures. I can also take more of certain area's if you email with that request. Please also email any questions and I will post them for others to see. I am hoping to find a good home for this rare bird. The cruiser can be used with confidence as a daily driver, can be taken on any extended trip and is perfect for car shows. It gets a lot of attention because of its condition are rarity. Good luck bidding.

Lightweight Toyota GT86 spotted on Nordschleife with carbon panels, upgraded aero

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

We've seen (and frankly reported on) so many rumors of more powerful and performance-focused versions of the Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86 and Scion FR-S at this point that haven't materialized that, at this point, we're almost tired of them. Almost. But what we have here was enough to pique our jaded interests as only a carbon-bodied sports car on the Nürburgring could do.
What we're looking at is, well, we don't quite know, to tell you the truth. What we can tell is that it's a Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S for us) wearing new wheels and a carbon-fiber hood, roof, racing-spec rear wing and subtle lip spoiler. The vents in the hood indicate that the prototype in question could be packing an upgraded engine to go with the lighter body panels and upgraded aero, and the interior (at least as far as we can see) looks pretty well stripped out.
The right-hand drive configuration tells us this is either destined for former territories of the British Empire or for the racetrack. Considering the ride height, full glass and apparent lack of roll cage, our money's on this prototype is being developed for the Japanese Domestic Market, where Toyota badges the sports car simply as the 86. We can always hope, though, that some version makes it into Scion showrooms in North America... we just won't get our hopes up too high.

Dubai claims debut of Toyota GT86 sedan concept

Sun, 03 Nov 2013

Typically, when the organizers of an auto show reveal that a new car will debut at their show, we take notice. But this particular claim from the Dubai International Motor Show ought to be taken with a grain of salt.
As our compatriots at AutoGuide discovered, the Facebook page for the Emirates auto expo includes a post with an interesting claim: that a sedan based on the Toyota GT86 (known in the US as the Scion FR-S) will debut at the show. The Facebook post is accompanied by the image above, purporting to show the concept in question.
The strange part is that the organizers claim the four-door GT86 concept will make its "regional unveil" at the Dubai show, which would seem to indicate that the concept in question would make its international debut at an earlier show. Considering that the doors open in Dubai on Tuesday, that seems increasingly unlikely. All of this begs the question, If this isn't actually a four-door GT86, what might it be?

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
