This is 100 percent legal 1986 Toyota Soarer (model gz20). It was legally registered through the state of texas under the 25 year rule with all proper documentation for import and from japan. VIN number is gz200011055. I am unable to input it ebay since japanese VIN numbers are shorter, because of that I had to input it as a 1980 when it is a 1986. It has the factory twin turbo inline six engine (1g-gte) and manual transmission (w57) . It has been very well taken care of. It only 99,243 kilometers (61,500 miles). It has been garage kept since it was imported, started once a week, and driven on sunny days only. It is a definite head turner. People love to see it on the road. Whether you keep this classic completely original or if you put a 1jzgte or 2jzgte in it, it sure to be the car that grabs attention. The paint is perfect and interior is great as well. The center console armrest could stand to be reupholstered and mirror trim has some cracks which was common for this model. Other than its in great shape. It has 3 piece 17" bbs wheels that match the style and date of the soarer. As I mentioned it has the original 1g-gte with w57 gearbox, with factory LSD, factory front mount intercooler, HKS boost controller, boost guage, tein coil over suspension, Trust brand stainless exhaust, kouki headlamps grill and bumper, Nardi steering wheel, factory digital combination meter which looks really cool, electronic folding mirrors, hydraulic hood supports, 12 disc cd changer (aftermarket). This Soarer was really ahead of it's time with all the options it has. Nothing in the US in 1986 has as many creature comforts and options as this Soarer. Side note- It does not have a sunroof, so for the taller drivers this is an extra two inches of head room for you. I do have the adapter brackets to mount a 1jzgte or 2jzgte into the soarer plus a J series bell housing for the w57. I can include these in the deal if interested.
Good luck bidding. Please ask questions if you are serious and have the funds. You must arrange pick up of the vehicle. I will help with meeting the transport for pick up of course. I am asking 500.00 deposit within 48 hours and the rest of the payment at my bank. If you aren't able to come here then the rest of the payment can be through paypal. Contact me first if we are going to use paypal for full price. Thank you. |

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
Union to launch Toyota organization drive in Canada
Sun, 12 Jan 2014Toyota may be heading toward some labor issues in the Great White North, as employees at a pair of Canadian Toyota factories may be set for a certification vote. The Unifor union, which was the result of a merger last year between the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union, will be holding the vote.
Over 40 percent of the employees at the Woodstock and Cambridge, Ontario factories have signed union cards, cresting the minimum percentage required to instigate a legal certification vote, according to Reuters. The Woodstock factory is responsible for RAV4 production, while Cambridge builds the Lexus RX350 and RX450h, as well as the Toyota Corolla. The two factories employ nearly 7,000 people.
It's unclear when the union will hold a certification vote at the two factories, but what is rather clear are the worker complaints. Employees are concerned about workers being hired on temporary contracts which lack the benefits of full employment, John Aman, head of organizing for Unifor, told Reuters.
Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."
