recent service include, new alt, p/s, a/c fan belts were replaced. lube and oil filter. brake fluid, clutch fluid, coolant flushed and filled with new. since Calif smog std. gotten more strict this year, currently the car is "NOT PASS CALIF SMOG" unless modify original carb to reduce CO level. so at this time i would prefer to sell to the buyer from outside of California. This vehicle was originally sold new in San Diego, CA. The vehicle was produced toward the end of production run. (1979 1/2). I was told from the last owner he was the 2nd owner. (which makes me 3rd, if his statement was correct). I am selling because the vehicle is not used. It sat in the garage for last three years, sat on the street for two years before that. "RUSTING" is the major project with this car. the work done before (years ago with last owner) was not done correctly, therefore the rust is finally coming through. Mechanically, the engine and trans runs and hums like original FJ55 supposed to. So they are in very good condition. (NO WARRANTY is implied here). The vehicle has little over 114 thousand original miles. No manifold leaks, great clean exhaust system. I take this vehicle to get serviced at my mechanic. He was a former Toyota technician when he was in Japan so he is familiar with older vintage Landcruisers. I have owned different Landcruisers in last 20 years, I learned quickly, not any mechanic know how to fix these vintage vehicles. Interior is in very good shape for it's age. It has rare wall to wall grey carpet, the dash is not original, it was redone by last owner. Ceiling liner is near perfect except for sun visors. One of the seat belt is not working. Rear gate lock from outside does not work. looks like some broken piece was left in the cylinder. No radio but different after market radio was installed in inside of glove compartment (it was cut into), so now after removing the radio with amp unit (was not working when I bought) I have a big hole at bottom of the glove compartment. so any wires you see on the pic is related from radio with amp removal. Moisture got in from rusted roof when it was parked outside in the rain and gauges no longer respond except for speedmeter. The vehicle has very rare factory options. (power steering, A/C (compressor was replaced one time), roof rack, tinted front windshield, wall to wall carpet, etc.). I am looking for (I would prefer to pass this car to) somebody truly into old Landcruisers, somebody knows how to rebuild the vehicle. it needs covered garage, good home. I wa told an used chopped roof assembly is about $700-$1000. so cut and weld work is needed then followed with prime and paint. Now I see surface cracks on tires since aging from sitting. Currently the registration is up to date. I have the pink. Clean Title. If you are close, drive this home with your own risk. Or I will be happy to help coordinate with your shipping company to load it up per your clear instruction.

Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand
Tue, 21 May 2013An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
Toyota recalls slew of models for possible airbag calibration defect
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Toyota is recalling sixteen models from the 2009 to 2013 model years over a potential issue with passenger seat airbag calibration. In spite of the large number of different Toyotas covered by the recall, just 3,235 units are included. These were vehicles installed with accessories like leather seat covers and headrest DVD systems by Southeast Toyota Distributors, and during the modifications the passenger seat occupant sensor system might not have been calibration tested. If the sensors aren't set up properly, the passenger airbag might not work as it should.
Affected models include: Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Prius, Prius V, Rav4, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra and Venza. Scroll down for the relevant model years for each.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall will begin this month. Southeast Toyota will inform owners, at which time they can take their Toyotas to dealers for testing and repair. The complete bulletin from the NHTSA with more information is below.
Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
