1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60

289,415 miles

Blue exterior, gray interior

This truck comes with 30 years of incredibly detailed service records. The binder includes the original window sticker, details about every gasoline fill-up since 1991, every hose, filter, and spark plug change, as well as larger items like radiator, brakes, and 2F engine replacement (by Jasper Engines, Oct 2005 at 246,786 miles).

Built in Japan (Dec 1982) and raised in Colorado, it has been garage-kept for its entire life. The original owner (Aurora, CO) sold the vehicle with 30,000 miles in May 1985 to the previous owner (Boulder, CO), who used it as a daily driver. Between 1985 and 2011, it was a family-used vehicle; it has not been used for rock climbing or off-roading. My fiance, the third owner, bought it in August 2011. In October 2011, it passed vehicle inspection in Massachusetts. During the last two years, she has used it has her daily driver, as well as road tripping from Minnesota to the east coast and back a couple of times. This truck was built tough and still runs strong.

Non-smoking owners.

Minimal surface rust: removal and repair of all body rust, as well as a professional paint job was completed in 2005

A/C blows cold.

No cracks in the dash. All switches and dash vents work perfectly.

Clean headliner (although one small area above the right rear window has come untucked, see pic).

Liftgate stays up on its own.

Tires have good tread and are not weathered.

Sale includes all service records. Most recent work completed:

Valve adjustment: 284.024 miles

New tachometer: 283,660 miles

Tie rod and relay rod ends: 286,305 miles

Firestone Alignment: 286,313 miles

Distributor cap, seal, and ignition rotor: 289,252 miles

The original radio was replaced with a Sony CD player in 2004, but I have the original radio in a box. The speaker on the passenger side door wasn't connected when my fiance bought it, so the only working speaker is on the driver side door.

ACCIDENT: In October 2012, the truck was parked in a parking lot when someone struck the driver side doors and fender, pushing the truck into the car next to it, thereby denting the right front fender as well. It has not been driven much since the accident, but we have taken it on short drives every couple of weeks to keep it running smoothly. It doesn't look as good as it used to, but the truck is still driveable. The left side doors do close (with some effort); they do not leak during rain storms. There was no damage to any of the glass. The repair (or replacement) of the body panels and left-side door column could return this truck to its former glory.

Before bidding on it, we welcome you to come inspect the truck in person.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Meet the Most Elegant Automobile, and it's for sale

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

Alright, so maybe "most elegant" is a bit of a stretch, but we feel safe in calling the 1992 Toyota Paseo in the video below an "automobile." High praise, we know. Still, it's clear someone loves the awkward little coupe enough to produce a hilarious video to sell the thing. Henry Floyd worked up a quick parody of the over-the-top luxury car ads we all know and loathe, and while the finished product is a little skimpy on details like price or location, it certainly doesn't hold back on the exposition.
Hell, if we didn't already have a parade of horrible ideas floating around our collective driveways, we might even be convinced to give this little heap a new home. You can check out the ad for yourself below, just don't be surprised if you find yourself with a burning desire to own a Paseo.

Toyota's Texas move could boost state's economy by $7.2B in 10 years

Thu, 15 May 2014

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and apparently that includes the Toyota's effect on the economy. The giant Japanese automaker's new headquarters in Plano, TX, will add an estimated $7.2 billion to the state over the next 10 years, according to a new study commissioned by the city and cited by Bloomberg.
The benefits appear to be an absolute steal compared to the direct incentives that Plano and the state are giving Toyota. The report finds that by the time the automaker's campus is complete in 2018, it could have 3,650 full-time workers there at an average salary of $104,000. The city has prepared $6.75 million in grants, plus property tax discounts, according to Bloomberg. In addition to that, the state is offering the business $40 million in incentives from its Texas Enterprise Fund. This is still a fraction of what Toyota is estimated to bring in.
Toyota announced in April that it would move its US operations to Plano after being headquartered in California since 1957. The move affects thousands of employees from the sales and engineering divisions. The first workers will arrive there this fall, but Toyota will eventually have a whole campus in Plano by late 2017. The move is expected to save it huge amounts in taxation and offer employees a lower cost of living. Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz also says that the Texas location puts the headquarters closer to more of the business' factories in the south. Texas certainly appears to be showing it some southern hospitality.
