recent service include, new alt, p/s, a/c fan belts were replaced. lube and oil filter. brake fluid, clutch fluid, coolant flushed and filled with new.

since Calif smog std. gotten more strict this year, currently the car is "NOT PASS CALIF SMOG" unless modify original carb to reduce CO level. so at this time i would prefer to sell to the buyer from outside of California.

This vehicle was originally sold new in San Diego, CA. The vehicle was produced toward the end of production run. (1979 1/2).

I was told from the last owner he was the 2nd owner. (which makes me 3rd, if his statement was correct). I am selling because the vehicle is not used. It sat in the garage for last three years, sat on the street for two years before that.

"RUSTING" is the major project with this car. the work done before (years ago with last owner) was not done correctly, therefore the rust is finally coming through.

Mechanically, the engine and trans runs and hums like original FJ55 supposed to. So they are in very good condition. (NO WARRANTY is implied here). The vehicle has little over 114 thousand original miles. No manifold leaks, great clean exhaust system. I take this vehicle to get serviced at my mechanic. He was a former Toyota technician when he was in Japan so he is familiar with older vintage Landcruisers. I have owned different Landcruisers in last 20 years, I learned quickly, not any mechanic know how to fix these vintage vehicles.

Interior is in very good shape for it's age. It has rare wall to wall grey carpet, the dash is not original, it was redone by last owner. Ceiling liner is near perfect except for sun visors. One of the seat belt is not working.

Rear gate lock from outside does not work. looks like some broken piece was left in the cylinder.

No radio but different after market radio was installed in inside of glove compartment (it was cut into), so now after removing the radio with amp unit (was not working when I bought) I have a big hole at bottom of the glove compartment. so any wires you see on the pic is related from radio with amp removal.

Moisture got in from rusted roof when it was parked outside in the rain and gauges no longer respond except for speedmeter.

The vehicle has very rare factory options. (power steering, A/C (compressor was replaced one time), roof rack, tinted front windshield, wall to wall carpet, etc.).

I am looking for (I would prefer to pass this car to) somebody truly into old Landcruisers, somebody knows how to rebuild the vehicle. it needs covered garage, good home.

I wa told an used chopped roof assembly is about $700-$1000. so cut and weld work is needed then followed with prime and paint.

Now I see surface cracks on tires since aging from sitting. Currently the registration is up to date. I have the pink. Clean Title. If you are close, drive this home with your own risk. Or I will be happy to help coordinate with your shipping company to load it up per your clear instruction.

All of the Bond cars of 'No Time To Die' (caution for spoilers)

Thu, Sep 30 2021

Note: The following overview of the cars in No Time To Die contains spoilers. Read at your own risk, or come back after seeing the film to make sure you caught everything.   No Time To Die picks up right around where Spectre leaves us. James Bond (Daniel Craig) and Madeleine Swann (Lea Seydoux) are driving along in Bond’s restored and iconic DB5 in Matera, Italy. Things donÂ’t stay all that cheery for long in picturesque Matera, though. As is tradition in Bond films, the first car chase hits us with an explosion of action in what's a super-long opening scene. Fourth-gen Maserati Quattroporte: The baddies in the beginning are driving a Maserati and chasing after Bond in the DB5. Specifically, theyÂ’re in a fourth-gen Quattroporte, which feels right for a chase scene in Italy. Its squared-off looks are mean enough, and its Italian growl is a good background soundtrack to the DB5Â’s inline-six. In addition to the Quattroporte, the chase scene in Matera is home to a couple of the best stunts of the entire movie, including the arch jump done with a Triumph motorcycle seen in trailers — Matera is extremely hilly. Eventually, Bond and Swann find themselves in the DB5 again together, which is where the famous gatling gun scene from the trailer commences, but not before the bulletproof windows and body of the DB5 are thoroughly tested. RIP to the first-gen Range Rover Classics and Jaguar XFs that joined the Maserati in pursuit of Bond (here's a list of other Bond cars over the years). As the DB5 escape scene concludes, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be a Ferrari from the 1970s. However, the view was far enough away that weÂ’ll need a second look to be sure of the exact model. Land Rover Series III: Next time we see Bond, heÂ’s fishing in Jamaica and driving around a blue Land Rover Series III. ItÂ’s yet another of the many Land Rover products featured throughout the film, and unlike most of BondÂ’s Aston Martins, this one doesnÂ’t seem to have any unique features. The other intriguing vehicle out of Jamaica? An old Chevrolet Bel-Air expertly and effectively piloted by Bond newcomer, Ana de Armas. Next up, we get a few shots of the new and still-not-for-sale Aston Martin Valhalla mid-engine supercar (also seen in trailers). BondÂ’s old boss M is in the scene which appears to have been shot in some secret wind tunnel of sorts. Much to our dismay, nobody ends up driving the Valhalla in the film. Could it be a teaser for what the next 007Â’s car is?

Toyota announces GT86 CS-R3 rally car

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Toyota Motorsport GmbH has developed cars for all manner of racing, up to and including Formula One and Le Mans. But it got its start back in 1979 in rally competition, winning four drivers' and three manufacturers' titles in the World Rally Championship. And now it's announced a new rally car.
Based on the Toyota GT86 (better known to us as the Scion FR-S), the CS-R3 rally car isn't built to contest the top tier of the WRC, but is being developed to conform to the lower R3 class. That means a six-speed sequential gearbox, limited slip differential and upgraded engine, brakes, aero... the works. It'll retain the road-going model's rear-drive setup, joining the front-drive Yaris R1A in TMG's portfolio of customer rally cars.
Further details are set to be revealed "in the coming months", but the GT86 CS-R3 will benefit from the experience TMG accrued in developing the GT86 CS-V3 (pictured above) for the Nürburgring-based VLN endurance racing series.

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673

Fri, Apr 9 2021

This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.
