Rugged, simple, reliable and fun. Add to that room to spare and you may have
the ultimate sport utility vehicle. As a
flagship model, the Land Cruiser always served to demonstrate Toyota’s
engineering and design talents. I think
they really nailed it with the FJ60-62 series.
Outdoor enthusiasts certainly admire this vehicle. It’s a timeless design, kind of like a Swiss
Army knife.
This vehicle has led a privileged life. Always garaged, always maintained at the Toyota dealership. As anyone who is a fan of the FJ series knows, they are prone to rust. That makes the originality and meticulous care of this one all the more cherished. Maintenance overall has been top shelf. The previous owner took care of some problem areas around the wheel wells and they have held up nicely. The color of this FJ62 is called Beige Metallic. This certainly was consistent with the Safari intentions of the original series. Appropriately, it is almost exactly the same color as dirt that dries after spending some time on a county access road. Pretty clever and suits the vehicle well! The inside is the tan and brown color combination. Overall, it is in excellent driver condition. The carpet, dash, rear panels all demonstrate the care this prized possession has received. Along with a warm cozy place to rest at night, the legendary inline 6 2F motor has sipped only the finest vintages. Lucas additives were used occasionally and the previous owner is not at all a fan of ethanol. Fortunately, we have some pure gas options in the area and he always sought them out. It’s been given the care necessary to demonstrate its tractor-like tenacity and durability. I have no doubt it will serve up many more miles of fun and adventure. All the photos
in this listing and quite a few more can be found at the following link – https://www.flickr.com/photos/105315473@N02/ This is the last model year for the highly regarded FJ60 series. Last model years like the Grand Wagoneer and the Mercedes SL series typically command the highest collector values. I guess only time will tell with this one, but it certainly stands as testament to Toyota’s much deserved legacy. The FJ62 is geared to be more accommodating at highway speeds and has a few other refinements that forecast the direction this flagship model would eventually go in the efforts to stay ahead of the pack. Fortunately, it did if from the same handsome sheet metal lines and with the same purposeful ruggedness. What other vehicle was designed to hit a rock at 60 mph without incident? Exactly, not many and probably none does it better. There are a few issues the new owner may want to take care of. The driver’s seat has a tear on the side in the vinyl section. The cloth insert in the same area is starting to separate. Both are because the foam is a showing its age. Aftermarket seat covers are readily available. The vinyl section could be easily replaced by an upholstery shop. So, you may just want to preserve the originals. The mud guard on the passenger front tire is gone. So too is the rocker panel trim piece. They were lost when backing out of a snow bank – a badge of honor earned the right way! These parts can be easily sourced at dealerships or online. The new owner will also want to put on a new set of tires, at least before next winter. These issues have been factored into the reserve price. Out of respect to all bidders and the auction process, I will not reveal the reserve price. It is set at a very reasonable price, well below the level at which she is likely to earn bids. Please bid the amount you are comfortable spending on the vehicle. I’ve tried to describe and capture through photos the vehicle in great detail. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call. My cell is (816) 786-7534. Load up your friends, family, some camping gear fishing poles or bikes and take this thing for another adventure. It is eager to accommodate! Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. |

Hydrogen stations that don't work putting a dent in H2 lifestyle
Fri, Jul 24 2015Hydrogen is the most plentiful element in the universe, but it's not abundant enough for some hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle drivers. Southern California lessees of models such as the Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell SUV are taking to Facebook to voice their complaints about out-of-order fuel cell stations, Green Car Reports says. In many cases, the lack of hydrogen supply has made the cars effectively undriveable. For Tucson Fuel Cell owners, the hydrogen is supposed to be free and unlimited, but Hyundai doesn't manage the stations. One Orange County lessee of a Tucson fuel-cell vehicle hasn't driven the car for over a month because the trio of nearby stations are out of commission. Additionally, some of the stations that do work can only provide about a half-tank worth of hydrogen, once again putting a crimp the driving range of the hydrogen car. California is home to 10 of the dozen public hydrogen refueling stations in the country (there's one each in Connecticut and South Carolina), according to US Department of Energy figures. These sorts of challenges can't help Hyundai's hydrogen efforts. Last month, it was reported that Hyundai has sold fewer than 300 fuel cell vehicles worldwide during the past three years, including about 70 through the first five months of this year. The South Korea-based automaker has said it wants to sell 1,000 fuel-cell vehicles globally by the end of 2015. Fuel-cell drivers and advocates alike are hoping that Toyota will change the game when its Mirai hydrogen vehicles start hitting California roads later this year. Toyota confirmed in May that Mirai US sales would start in October in eight California dealerships. The Northeast is on tap for 2016. Related Video:
Toyota outsells VW for global sales crown, apologizes with a vow to 'be honest'
Tue, Jan 30 2024Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda bows in apology during a press conference Tuesday over the group companies' quality scandals. (Getty Images) Â Every quarter, the stock market hangs on how much sales growth Tesla and other startups have experienced. There's growth, but then there's sheer output, and when it comes to deliveries dominance, one company can't be touched. Toyota on Tuesday announced that it remained the world's top-selling automaker for the fourth year running, with record sales of 11.2 million vehicles in 2023. Toyota's global group sales jumped 7.2% last year; the numbers include sales at Daihatsu and truck unit Hino Motors. Toyota's parent-only vehicles, which include the Toyota and Lexus brands, hit a record of 10.3 million vehicles in 2023. Gasoline-electric hybrids made up about a third of those. Battery electric vehicles accounted for less than 1%. Toyota's annual output handily beat runner-up Volkswagen Group, which this month reported a 12% rise in deliveries last year to 9.2 million cars. That growth was driven largely by demand for Audi, which sold 1.9 million vehicles. The auto industry in 2023 enjoyed a post-pandemic recovery as supply chain bottlenecks eased, though shipping problems through the Red Sea so far this year have stalled that progress by some automakers, causing some car plants in Europe to suspend production. Toyota's global group sales have now topped 10 million vehicles for nine of the past 10 years, except for 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic delivered a blow to the auto sector. Scandals and an apology Toyota's chairman apologized on Tuesday for scandals at the three group companies. Daihatsu, Hino and affiliate Toyota Industries have been beset by governance issues involving certification test procedures for cars and engines that could potentially hurt the brand's global reputation for quality and safety. "I would like to express my deepest apologies to our customers and stakeholders for the inconvenience and concern caused by the successive irregularities at Hino Motors, Daihatsu and Toyota Industries," Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda told reporters. He was speaking at an event to announce a vision for the Toyota group, which was founded by his great-grandfather and now includes 17 companies.
