Toyota Blizzards have a strong following world over, Australia, New Zealand, U.K, Russia. These under-rated units have proven themselves as reliable transportation both on and off the road.

The Blizzard gained a very strong following in Japan as an excellent off road vehicle due to it's nimble agility. It was designed to go head to head with the Suzuki Jimny and the bigger brother the Land Cruiser.

The Blizzard competed excellently with it's short, narrow, wheel base. It is a very maneuverable unit with excellent approach, break over and departure angles. The light weight coupled with the reliable fuel efficient 2L-T engine is a winning combination. Add to that the 5 speed and you have a vehicle capable of in excess of 36 mpg.

The 2.4L turbo diesel is in a class of it's own. Since it is moving less than 3000 lbs down the road and along the trail the 2L-T is a perfect choice for this truck. The final gear ratio of 3.7 is perfect for booting around town, playing off road and puttering down the highway.


39,000 Miles Original 
It has never seen a salt road yet.
Undercarrige is amazing,
2LT (turbo charged 2.4L diesel)
Very strong and reliable engine
PROVEN 38 mpg at 90 km/h and 32 mpg at 110 k/h
Fun to drive. It takes about 15 minutes to get accustomed to the stick. Actually pretty easy. All gears are fine. The odd time second gear needs a double clutch, but happens when the fluid is cold. Once it warms up it seems fine.

Starts quick.

Almost Mint Condition. 
A few scratches and minor drivers side dent and cracked mirror housing. Interior is excellent - Amazing with a typical tear on the lower driver seat side
3 Way Console Adjustable Shock Valving
Fog Lamps
Tilt Meter, Clock, Tachometer, Turbo Indicator
Complete Original Factory Tool Kit
Clean Engine Bay
3.70 Differential Gears
This is an Excellent Unit 

I realize for US Import it needs to be 25 years old. The is 45 days away from being so, however the manufacturing date is over 25 years. I'll hold it if purchaser wants. I might consider driving it to you local if it is reasonably close. I'd just fly home after the fact.

I had to put in a bogus vin # As EBay would not accept the one I have

2014 Toyota Camry to get 'significant' attention?

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

With competition from Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan mounting, Toyota is getting set to unveil a refreshed version of its Camry sedan a mere two years after it was fully redesigned.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Toyota's move to freshen the still young Camry comes as it seeks to retain its US sales crown in the midsize segment. That desperation has lead to increased incentives and fleet sales in a bid to keep its title, all while trying to keep pace with a slew of very competent competitors.
"It's safe to say we'll be doing something with it," Bill Fay, group vice president of the Toyota brand in the US, told Bloomberg during last week's LA Auto Show. "We'll be paying significant attention to Camry next year."

1967 Toyota 2000GT most expensive Asian car ever sold at $1.2M

Fri, 10 May 2013

Toyota's agelessly beautiful 2000GT has been sold by RM Auctions for $1.16 million, making it the new record holder for the most expensive Asian car ever sold. As always, rarity played a big factory in driving up the price; just 351 2000GT models were built, and only 62 left-hand-drive cars (like this one). The classic Toyota, standout member of Texas car-collector Don Davies' paddock, was originally a US-delivery car that spent time in a collection back in a Japan before returning to Texas just a short time ago. The car last sold in March of 2011, for just $650,000.
Enthusiasts will recognize the 2000GT as perhaps the most heralded Japanese classic of all time. The Toyota was a contemporary of the Jaguar E-Type - though one that obviously sold in a fraction of the English car's numbers - that was well reviewed by the motoring press of the day. Sometimes referred to as Japan's first supercar, the 2000GT boasted a 150-horsepower, dual overhead cam, 2.0-liter straight-six engine; a five-speed manual transmission; and a reported top speed of over 135 miles per hour.
RM described this record-setting example as, "the finest and most authentic 2000GT to come to market in recent years," equating it with blue chip classic exotics like the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura.
