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.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Toyota discontinuing FJ Cruiser after 2014 model year
Tue, 20 Aug 2013The Toyota FJ Cruiser is not long for this world. According to the manufacturer's own fleet website, the rugged FJ will be discontinued after the 2014 model year, with the companies final orders due in June of next year.
Toyota first launched the FJ Cruiser in 2006 as a 2007 model, and aside from minor year-over-year changes, it has not been substantially updated. The FJ is the modern successor to the original FJ40 Land Cruiser that Toyota produced from the 1960s all the way up through 1984, when the automaker decided to better focus on its larger, four-door Land Cruiser line. Currently, it uses a 4.0-liter V6 engine with either rear- or four-wheel drive, and is available with either a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Interestingly, word of the FJ's demise comes not long after Toyota's US boss, Bill Fay, reaffirmed his company's commitment to body-on-frame trucks in late July.
Also of interest, Toyota's fleet website states that the 2014 model year Prius range will have "minor updates," though it's unclear what those are as of this writing. When Autoblog reached out to confirm these developments with Toyota, spokesman Curt McCallister reminded us, "As is our corporate policy, we don't discuss future products beyond the present or upcoming model year."
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
