 First off, let me say this is a NO-RESERVE auction, so bid to win!  Bidders with 0 or negative feedback need to first contact me before placing a bid or your bid will be blocked.  A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auction end.  Full payment is due within 7 days of auction end.  I will only accept payment through Paypal unless you contact me and we agree to an alternative form of payment.  All shipping charges and arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer. 

Up for auction is this 1972 Land cruiser fj55 survivor.  This is completely original from the paint to the radio.  It was bought locally here in Colville Washington and has spent all its life in the area.  I am the fourth owner and there is a collection of original registrations in the glove box dating back to 1972 which shows the previous owners.  The older gentleman I got it from owned it for the last 20+ years and it spent the last 3 years sitting behind his barn where I found it.  After getting it home and adjusting the points it fired up and idled.  It still has very old gas in it that should be drained and I'm sure a tune up wouldn't hurt but it does start right up every time.  I replaced the water pump recently.  It has the original in-line 6 cylinder engine and 3 speed transmission.  The 4 wheel drive works great.  The windshield is cracked and the rear electric window does not operate.  It is complete but the glass is currently rolled down.  All other glass is in excellent shape.  The interior is in excellent shape for its age.  The only thing not original here is the front seat has been re-upholstered and looks great.  The body is very straight and solid with very limited rust issues.  Both front fenders have areas of bubbling on the bottom corners.  Both rear quarter panels and corners have body damage shown in the pictures and video.  The roof, drip rails, rocker panels and floors are solid and straight.  All lights work except for both headlights.  I haven't taken the time to figure that one out yet.  The brakes work but definitely need gone through.  The few times I've driven it around the neighborhood, they pulled to the right.  The tires will need replaced due to age and weathering but they do hold air and I have driven around on them.  This fj55 is equipped with the rare PTO driven 8000 lb. Rhino winch.  I haven't gotten the winch to engage but the PTO does engage and the shaft spins as it should.  Another rare option is the chrome roof rack.  I've only seen one other with this option, it is very cool and in great shape!  All chrome trim is in great shape except for the rear reflectors and the license plate light housing.  If you've been looking for one of these, you know how hard it is to find one in this nice original shape without being modified or restored.  You won't be disappointed with this fj55.  The following is a link to a You-tube video, http://youtu.be/BmNwk_C6vtc
Please ask any questions you have before bidding.  Once again, this is a NO-RESERVE auction so good luck!

 After tinkering with the headlights for a bit tonight, they started working.  Seemed to be either corrosion or short in the switch.  So all the lights work now, nice and bright!

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.

Toyota Auris gets new Touring Sports variant

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Toyota showed off the Touring Sports version of the Auris next to the newly introduced Auris Hybrid at last year's Paris Motor Show, but didn't say much about it. Six months later, just ahead of the Geneva Motor Show, the company is crowing about that wagon going on sale with the Hybrid Synergy Drive, creating the Auris Touring Sports Hybrid.
The hauling version of the exceptionally popular Auris hatchback doesn't just add a hybrid wagon to the compact segment, Toyota says it offers class-leading load capacity of 1,658 liters with the Easy-Flat one-touch rear seats down. With the rear seats up, it offers 530 liters. The little big gulp is possible because the hybrid batteries have been placed under the rear seats instead of being in the luggage area.
It looks the same as the hatchback save for the fact that it's 285 millimeters (11.2 inches) longer behind the C pillar, has a redesigned tailgate and a lower load floor. Engines beyond the hybrid will match the rest of the lineup: 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter gasoline engines and a 1.4-liter D-4D diesel. There's a chance we'll see it in Geneva, if we don't there's a press release below to tell you all about it.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
