See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Landcruiser is in good condition. All parts are original or replaced with OEM. There is no visible rust on the body."

Landcruiser is in good condition and here is the history as I know it.  I have owned the Landcruiser for over 2yrs and bought if from a guy in PA who inherited it from his father after passing.  It sat in a barn for 2-3 yrs and then sold to me 2011.  The father was the second owner and had it for 20+ years and they used the Landcruiser to pull a boat back and forth from the cabin to lake during the summer.  A restoration was started in 2009-2010 where the engine was rebuilt and some transmission work was done.  The current milage on the odometer is 68499 and the guy I bought it from said it was original but I cannot confirm and the speedometer cable was not attached when I bought it and I have not fixed it since owning.  When I bought it - it was 70% complete and had been painted.  There was no glass or weather stripping installed and no lights, emblems, or accessories installed but did have new 31x10.5 BFG's.  Items that I did to get it road ready and tagged:

  • Re-installed all original glass and installed new weather stripping on permanent glass
  • Rebuilt windshield wiper motor and installed new wiper arms and blades
  • Installed all new lights and markers and updated wiring to make everything work for inspection
  • Installed new ignition
  • Installed all new window regulators and window weather stripping
  • Installed new battery, fuel pump, and brake master cylinder, along with new brakes
  • Updated parking brake
Before I bought the Scout I was planning to install bucket seats in the front and install a 4 speed conversion kit to the floor but none of that was done.  I do have several boxes of OEM parts and other Landcruiser stuff like repair manual etc...also have the original rear heater which I disconnected.  No other modifications were done to the Cruiser that were not already original to the FJ to my knowledge.

I have put less than 200 miles on the Landcruiser since owning and most of those were back and forth to the DMV for inspection and tagging - currently it is not tagged.  I keep the top and doors off all the time as it is garage kept and I only use in the Summer to putz around town.  Its a great running vehicle and I love driving it - big looker and gets compliments everywhere we go.  I have 3 kiddos and cannot get them all in the Cruiser at one time so that is why it has to go - bought a 1977 Scout which has more room in the back for the kids.  This will be a very fun FJ to buy and not do anything to but just drive around as its ready to go in current condition.

Toyota previews new C-HR crossover concept bound for Paris

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

We're now just a few weeks away from the start of the Paris Motor Show, and when the doors open at the Porte de Versailles, Toyota will be among the many automakers with new wares to show - including the new concept car pictured in this latest teaser image.
Called the C-HR, the concept is designed to represent an "innovative vision for a compact crossover model", incorporating "a new design language with an engaging driving experience and a hybrid powertrain." The Japanese industrial giant isn't saying much else, but the C-HR is set to debut alongside the finalized exterior design for its upcoming new fuel cell sedan.
Toyota, of course, became a pioneer in the compact crossover segment when it introduced the first-generation RAV4 way back in 1994. If the silhouette is anything to go by, however, the C-HR concept appears to adopt a far more streamlined form. Watch this space for more.

Toyota to drop regular-cab Tacoma as small pickups take another hit

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

Even as General Motors prepares to redesign its midsize pickups, the market for sub-fullsize trucks continues to shrink. The remaining competitors in the segment are the well-aged Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tacoma, and now Truck Trend is reporting that the latter will be dropping its regular cab model due to poor sales.
According to the article, the available configurations for the Tacoma lineup will be whittled down in 2015, which apparently spells the end for the two-door Taco. The Tacoma is currently the last truck in its class to be offered in a regular cab configuration, with the Frontier no longer offering a standard cab model and spy shots of the next-gen Chevrolet Colorado not revealing any glimpse of a short cab, either.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.
