Here is the brief story behind this Cruiser. I have owned 25 Land Cruisers since the early 1970's. I restore some of them and have a wonderful collection of rare vehicles. A contact of mine asked if I would assist him in checking out this attached FJ55. I did assist and as a result he bought it. The cruiser was a California Cruiser its whole life and owned by just one family. It was this buyers intent to restore the pig. He decided after buying it that it was too original to restore. He also decided that it was not what he wanted to keep long term. At that point I had a friend / client in the Philippines who was looking for one to purchase. This client wanted an " all original " only. He ended up, through my introduction, buying the pig. It was shipped to my home here in Temecula as I was to hold on to it until all of the paperwork was done for transport to the Philippines. Well, the paperwork was denied and the Land Cruiser was not allowed to be shipped overseas. The current owner from the Philippines has asked me to sell it for him. As mentioned, this FJ55 is garaged here in Temecula, California. I have taken recent pictures of it as seen in this Ebay ad. It is quite an amazing FJ55. Finding originals in this condition is extremely rare. Toyota did not import many of them. This one also is a 1975, the first year Toyota put in the more robust 2F engine. We did a compression check last week and adjusted the valves. It runs perfect and compression is perfect as numbers indicate above. This engine, because it was so well taken care of, will last a very long time in our opinion. I have owned 4 pigs. This one is the most original and complete that I have ever seen. As many of you know, finding body parts for the old FJ55 Land Cruisers can be very difficult. This one has all of the original parts. It is a 4 speed, floor shift. As many of you also know, the pigs can be prone to heavy cancer rust, especially along the roof line. This one has no Cancer rust. I have the reserve set for the owner at a reasonable price based on the Land Cruisers rarity and condition. As a restorer and owner of many Land Cruisers I can tell you that finding an original in this condition is EXTREMELY RARE. The owner is not going to give it away but he feels the reserve is set fairly. I have taken many detailed pictures. I can also take more of certain area's if you email with that request. Please also email any questions and I will post them for others to see. I am hoping to find a good home for this rare bird. The cruiser can be used with confidence as a daily driver, can be taken on any extended trip and is perfect for car shows. It gets a lot of attention because of its condition are rarity. Good luck bidding.

NHTSA investigating 561k Toyota Prius hybrids for possible steering shaft defect

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will investigate some 561,000 Toyota Prius models for potentially defective steering shafts. The affected hybrid models are from the 2004-2009 model years. The story indicates that NHTSA is weighing whether or not to grant a defect petition, which claims that Toyota incorrectly assembled the hatchback's steering linkage.
As of this writing, there is no recall. However, a recall based on the Prius steering shaft would be the third related to steering issues for the model since 2006. Seven years ago, Toyota recalled 170K Prius models for potential cracking of the intermediate shafts, and in November of 2012, the automaker recalled 670K units to replace the steering shaft extension assembly.
We'll be monitoring NHTSA's signals to see if this investigation turns into a full-fledged recall. For now, stay tuned.

Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
