Pleasant Grove, Utah, United States
|
Condition: Body is solid without any large dents, has some minor rust in rockers side and rear, common for early Cruisers. Paint needs to be refreshed. This was the next step in the restoration just haven't gotten to it. Interior is Good, the seats have had Indian covers since we purchased it, and it SLEEPS IN THE GARAGE. V8 Conversion has less than 500 mile on it, we only drive it occasionally in Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons. We leave the top off and wait for good weather. It is a blast to drive and has LOTS of POWER!!
Features: Completed a Chryler V8 Conversion w/ Automaic and Jeep two speed transfer case also Ford 9" Custom Posi rear end. Preserved the original wheel bolt pattern. Chrysler conversion has oil filter on passenger side and eliminates the need to alter stock steering. Torquer Camshaft, performance; heads, induction, oil pump. Built it for performance and reliability, not to radical. New Aluminum 3" radiator with electric cooling fans, heavy duty trans cooler, new brakes. Hard top with full height doors included, they have side windows that crank up and down, included as well are rear side by side doors. Also new soft top, never put on, just purchased about a year ago. Stock Roll Bar. Dual heaters one front and one rear. Email me if you have questions, I probably forgot somethings. History: Purchased from original owner in the late 1970's early 1980's can't remember exactly, it's been a while. We have owned it ever since. Started the V8 conversion in 1990's always hated the SMOG straight 6 in this model, the 1970 Cruiser I owned had the non smog version and I really liked that motor. Finished conversion about 5 years ago. Haven't driven 500 miles since the conversion, purchased a 66 Cad. Conv. and drive that with my wife now better ride. The 76 Cruiser had a tree limb fall on front drivers side hood and fender and insurance fixed it in the 80's and the paint oxidized few years later, not a good body shop repair. It has never rolled, or been in a flood, never even rubbed hard on rocks. Went to Moab Utah once in the 80's and loved it but haven't been back. A lot of memories tied up with the kids when they were young, just not driving it any more. Not looking for just a buyer.... but a good home for the "Bruiser" as we call it. Shipping and Payment: Shipping NOT included, send cashiers check and will accommodate your shipping arrangements, or schedule a visit and bring cashier check or cash, I will hand you or send you the title. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL - bcapt64@gmail.com It is my direct email and I will respond faster, it goes to my phone. |

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
GT Academy returns, and why Gran Turismo 6 demands a pedal/wheel setup
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The path to become a racing driver is a difficult one. It requires starting early, with karts, and then building up through the years and if you're really, really good (and really, really lucky), a team will notice you and sign you up. Or, you know, you could just become really good at Gran Turismo, and beat out other like-minded fanatics for a seat in the GT Academy.
The racing school, which culls its students from the ranks of Gran Turismo players has already pumped out successful racers, most notably, Lucas Ordoñez, who has a second and third-place finish under his belt at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the 2014 GT Academy kicking off April 21 and running through June 16, you could have a chance to be the next Ordoñez.
That won't be easy, though. We recently had a playthrough on GT6 the proper way - with a racing seat, pedals and a steering wheel, complete with column-mounted paddles. (Our setup looked just like the one you see above, though that image is from E3.) In other words, it was as close to driving an actual car as most console games can get.
Sports 800 is a progenitor of Toyota performance
Tue, 18 Nov 2014There's an automotive axiom that claims it's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow. If that's the case, then pushing a Toyota Sports 800 around must be one of the most exhilarating experiences behind the wheel in the world. With just 800cc of displacement from a two-cylinder boxer engine, the focus is on finesse over outright speed. Still, it's a fantastic page in Toyota's performance history, and Petrolicious takes a ride with a man who owns a meticulously restored 1967 example in its latest video.
The Sports 800 used the classic cost-saving strategy in the auto industry of taking parts from a standard model in the lineup and modifying it into a sports car. In this case that meant borrowing the engine from the plebian Toyota Publica, beefing it up for more power and clothing the whole thing a in beautifully shaped, wind-tunnel-honed body.
The look of these lithe, targa roadsters is the exact opposite of the rather dull styling sometimes associated with Toyota today. Everywhere you look there are louvers, vents or curves to draw the eye. Check out the latest Petrolicious video for a detailed look at the history of this rare model that's largely unknown on this side of the Pacific.
