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. |

Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
2013 Toyota RAV4 earns 'poor' rating in IIHS small overlap crash test [w/video]
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested a batch of SUVs in its small overlap frontal crash test earlier this year, it held off on putting the Toyota RAV4 in the blender because the new, 2013 model was due to arrive shortly after the test. The new crossover might be better than it was before, but it could still only manage a rating of "Poor" in the test that has been a bugbear for a number of manufacturers.
Among other issues, the IIHS noted that the steering column moved seven inches to the right causing the crash test dummy to practically miss the airbag, the dummy's left foot was trapped in deformed sheetmetal and the dummy's head hit the instrument panel.
The 2013 RAV4 earned the Top Safety Pick rating by scoring well in the Institute's four other tests. A good score in this particular test would have earned it the Top Safety Pick+ rating that is so far only claimed by the 2014 Subaru Forester and 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the SUV category. There's a press release below with more details and a video of the test.
Why Toyota Camry's Korea Car of the Year win is a big-time upset
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2013 Toyota Camry is officially the car of the year in Korea. The country's motoring press graced the Japanese sedan with the honor for the first time, officially marking a shift in prevailing Korean attitudes toward Japan and its products. According to industry analysts, buyers in the country are no longer simply choosing their purchases based on whether or not they're made in South Korea, but rather based on quality and personal choice. That's a big jump from a few years ago, when buyers viewed their purchases through a patriotic lens.
The Camry managed to edge out a total of 44 other cars, including hardware from both Hyundai and Kia, to become the first foreign vehicle to take home the Korea Automobile Journalist Association's Car of the Year award. As The Detroit News points out, just 10 years ago, domestic manufacturers held some 99 percent of the Korean car market. But a change in trade regulations has opened up the country considerably, and buyers now have access to a wide range of products from around the globe. As a result, Hyundai and Kia have countered by cutting prices in an attempt to keep their grip on the market.
