Incredible One Owner 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj 60 Landcruiser on 2040-cars
Edmond, Oklahoma, United States

Simply an incredible 30 year old FJ60. This Cruiser hums nicely down the highway at 70 mph with no problem. Truly one of a kind Land Cruiser that gets looks and compliments most every day. More than that, this is a reliable Cruiser that I believe is good for another 30 years. The paint is 30 years old and original. The interior is all original except for a Sony cassette/AM/FM stereo with 20 watt Infinity speakers. It is a beautiful, yet aged brown with factory pin-striping. I've seen many Cruisers and none better looking or better performing than this vintage 1983 model. It is with real hesitation that I list this Land Cruiser. I've lost my company truck as I've changed jobs and need to sell this Land Cruiser in order to raise funds to buy a car that will get great highway miles. I waited for a long, long time for this 1983 Land Cruiser. I passed on many Cruisers but couldn't pass on this one when I saw it for sale in May of 2013. I bought it from the original owner. Pics of the original title are included in this ad. The original owner took great care of this Cruiser and used synthetic oils. A new engine and transmission we installed less than 30,000 miles ago.
There are awesome after market parts on the exterior of this Land Cruiser. There is a stout ARB safari bumper on the front of the Cruiser with three HELLA lights. There are side rails on each side of the vehicle that will support a standing adult. There is a rear bumper with spare tire and attachment on the back of the vehicle. These are high end parts that were purchased from Man-E-Fre. They add a very rugged, yet appealing look to the Land Cruiser and offer great protection. This 1983 FJ60 starts right up and drives great with no problems. It is aligned and balanced and ready to go. The dash is perfect with zero cracks or issues. There are no rust issues with this Land Cruiser and no real dings of note. However, since it is 30 years old there are a number of very small paint chips particular at the front of the vehicle. For a 30 year old Land Cruiser, however, the exterior is in very excellent condition. The only "question mark" would be above the right rear tire where the original owner had primed that part for a stainless steel add on but chose not to do so. There is an area that looks like dirt stuck to the priming material. I'm guessing this can be buffed out but I have not attempted to do so in concern of how it would effect the paint. A picture of this area is included. This Land Cruiser does have a very minor amount of oil that will leak. It's not a significant enough leak to where oil must be added between oil changes. The head liner is original and in great shape with no sagging. The interior lights work perfect. Included in purchase is a cork gasket set for the oil pan that would address this minor issue. The four wheel drive works great. This is a vehicle that would get good looks in Beverly Hills or be able to pull through nasty terrain for hunting or exploring. The AC works great. The heater works perfect. I'll now include upgrades and features added to make this Land Cruiser truly one of a kind: *Brand New Tires 31/10.5/R15 with less than 100 miles ($732.99 with records) *Engine and Transmission overhauled at 174,896. Records of this are available as it was a $6,900 job. *ARB Front Winch Bumper *ARB Front Fender *ARB Side Step Rails *Kaymar Rear Tow Bumper with spare tire mount and high lift jack mount. There is a remaining pivot for gasoline can mount. *Rancho RS 9000 adjustable shocks *Old Man Emu greasable springs *Detroit locker on rear right tire. This is an incredibly strong no-spin locker. *Man-E-Fre 2 1/4 Exhaust System *Man-E-Fre 6-in-1 Headers *Man-E-Fre billet cam shaft (has machined in cam ring gear not pressed on like the OEM version. The cam ring gear drives the distributor and oil pump). *Man-E-Fre transmission-transfer connection case hose *Man-E-Fre high output alternator *Man-E-Fre front anti-sway bar *Man-E-Fre intake manifold heater *Mallory electronic LED distributor *Radiator replaced *Rebuilt power steering pump *Power steering pump oil cooler *Tinted windows (beginning to come unloosened) *AMS Oil two-filter bypass oil unit *Hella 100 watt spot light with cover *Two Hella 55 watt fog lights with covers *Hella dual horns *Full synthetic lubricants used in engine, transmission, transfer case, grease fittings, differential, bearings. *Aluminum wheels, 8 inch, including spare. *ALL ORIGINAL FACTORY MANUALS NOTE: Man-E-Fre is a Land Cruiser specialty company in California that imports or manufactures parts for Toyota Land Cruisers. Note: Estimate that after-market exterior parts are over $4,100. Also included in the purchase of this Land Cruiser will be an incredible amount of quality spare parts to get you through the next 30 years. I'm confident that no vintage Land Cruiser has ever been listed that includes such an exhaustive list of parts and service materials. The original owner that I bought this Cruiser from in May of 2013 was an absolute Cruiser fanatic and had purchased the essential spare parts needed to drive this vehicle forever. The original owner was no longer able to drive this Cruiser due to a rugged and developing hip problem. The include parts and service items include but are not limited to: *A remanufactured alternator *A new and complete distributor *Spark coil *New fuel pump *Complete set of front seat belt assembly *One set of cam gears *One bell housing and pressure plate *One used cam *One case of synthetic lithium grease for packing wheel bearings *Sears battery charger attached to vehicle battery that can charge battery via AC plug *One used clutch *One rebuilt differential hogs head *One used exhaust manifold *Five brand new platinum spark plugs *One electronic ignition *One master cylinder *One slave for the master cylinder *One distributor shaft with counter weights *One smog pump *One case of 75/90 100% synthetic gear lube *FIVE original factory RIMS (15x8 with lugs) *One carburetor rebuild kit *One PCV valve *One new Air Conditioning Compressor *Complete set of belts for alternator, water pump, AC compressor *One cork set gasket for the oil pan *Two vacuum actuators *One new thermostat *Miscellaneous gaskets, O rings and new light bulbs NOTE: My mechanic estimates that there are over $3,000 in spare parts and service materials. Again, this is a unique offer with so many after market exterior add-ons to this Land Cruiser AND the valuable spare parts that should keep this Cruiser going for another 30 years. This vehicle drives and handles great. The tires are brand new with less than 100 miles on them. There are several folders full of records of work and service performed on this Land Cruiser. There are service and repair manuals included. The original owners manuals from 1983 are included. I will include a number of pictures that should answer most questions. Additional questions may be emailed to pauljasongibow@gmail.com. I'm not a mechanic but will try my best to answer any and all questions with honesty. |

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?
Fri, Sep 22 2017Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.

Toyota fires bullets into hydrogen fuel tanks, shoots down EV supporters
Thu, Jan 16 2014Many gearheads will remember that the 1970s-era Dodge Dart's claim to fame was that its motor was so durable (though not necessarily powerful) that one could shoot bullets into the engine block. Decades later, Toyota has taken a page out of that testing process. "Personally, I don't care what Elon [Musk] says about fuel cells." With some industry members and analysts questioning both the viability and durability of hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles, Toyota executive Bob Carter, speaking at the Automotive News World Congress this week, says the Japanese automaker went all Clint Eastwood on the fuel tanks of a fuel-cell prototype. Carter says that bullets from a small-caliber gun bounced off the carbon-fiber tanks, and that .50-caliber bullets barely made dents. The shoot-out motif kept going when Carter name-checked executives from Tesla, Nissan and Volkswagen in saying that he didn't care if other automakers question the future of fuel-cell vehicles. As you can see in the prepared text of Carter's speech below, he said, "Personally, I don't care what Elon [Musk], Carlos [Ghosn] or Jonathan [Browning] say about fuel cells. If they want to 'plug in and tune out' other technologies, that's fine." After debuting it in Tokyo late last year, Toyota showed off its FCV fuel-cell concept vehicle at the Detroit Auto Show this week as it get ready to start sales "around 2015." The car has a 300-mile range and should be priced somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000. Autoblog drove Toyota's fuel-cell prototypes last year, and you can read our impressions here. 2014 Automotive News World Congress- Bob Carter January 14, 2014 As prepared for: Automotive News World Congress Tuesday, January 14, 2014 Bob Carter, Senior Vice President, Automotive Operations, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. _________________ Thanks, Keith and good afternoon everyone. You know, I've been in the car business for more than 30 years, but I'm more excited about it now than EVER before Why? Because for the first time in Toyota's history, we did something here we've NEVER done before. We shocked people by unveiling two great looking, fun-to-drive cars that blow a hole in the theory that Toyota only builds "appliances". Just yesterday, we unveiled Toyota's newest concept, the FT-1 sports car. I'm already getting people asking me when they can get their hands on one. The FT-1 represents the latest in our heritage of sports cars like the 2000GT, Celica, Supra and most recently, the FR-S.
Toyota creates GT86 concept inspired by Initial D
Wed, Jun 29 2016Everyone has a favorite movie or TV car of their youths. The love of these cars can ignite a lifelong passion for automobiles. Some lust for the sharp, stainless steel DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future or the decked-out Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. For anime and manga fans, it's the panda-colored Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno from the Initial D manga and anime series. Toyota, recognizing the significance of the that car, meticulously reimagined it for a modern audience, basing it on the UK market GT86. The GT86, sold in the United States as the Scion FR-S and soon to be rebadged as the Toyota 86, is considered by some to be the spiritual successor to the rear-wheel-drive AE86 Corolla from the 1980s. Both are reasonably affordable, lightweight cars with a propensity for oversteer. The original AE86 from Initial D was a highly modified but realistic drift machine. The amazing feats of that tofu delivery car as it raced everything from Mazda RX-7s to a Honda S2000 turned the little Toyota into a cult icon. That AE86 itself was inspired by the personal vehicle of Japanese racing driver Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya served as both an inspiration and supervisor for Initial D. Many of the modifications on the Initial D car, like the TRD carbon-fiber hood and Fujitsubo exhaust, car were exactly the same as Tsuchiya's real-life vehicle. Toyota is no stranger to crafting modern incarnations of classic vehicles. Last year the company created a Back to the Future Tacoma. Toyota's Initial D concept car uses the same parts wherever possible. Like the original, it has a carbon-fiber hood, Fujitsubo exhaust, and black Watanabe F8 wheels. The suspension, lights, and body have all been modified. Even small details like the engine cover and door handles were modified to recall the fictional car. The end result is a fantastic creation that pays great homage to the original. Toyota went as far as hiring UK manga artist Sonia Leong to design a series of backdrops that place the car in the same action shots as the original series. While this one-off vehicle is just a concept, most of the parts are available to purchase for fans who may be inspired to create their own version. Toyota's concept will be on display at various motoring shows across the UK this summer. Related video: Featured Gallery Toyota Initial D GT86 TV/Movies Scion Toyota Coupe toyota gt86 toyota 86
