Here you have a very hard to find, original (with exceptions noted) Land Cruiser.  It has had a full top to bottom restoration with no expense spared. 

So first things first, here is the bad.  The tires are obviously not original and the side steps, hinges and spring shackles are aftermarkets from Cool Cruisers.  That's it.  Everything else is original to this year. 

It is titled a 1966 but it is in fact a 63 by the serial number.  You will look a long time to find another even close.  We even rebuilt the engine complete with pistons and a new head.  All body repairs were done with a welder.  There is no body filler in this Cruiser.  It also has the original tool kit and jack. We did not replace the wiring harness because the original harness was virtually flawless. 

For those of you who know Land Cruisers know what this one offers and can't deny what an incredible find this one is.  From the bi-fold back doors to the bug catcher vent window, this one is an exceptional piece.  Pictures pretty much tell the story but if you have specific questions, please ask. 

I will not accept bids from out of USA.  If you are from outside of the US and would like to bid, you will need to find and agent here in the states to handle the transaction.  Sale is final as is where is.  No warranty is expressed or implied.  Keep in mind, you are buying a 50 year old vehicle.  I have done my best to accurately describe the vehicle and provided ample pictures to show the condition.  Payment is due immediately at the end of the auction.  Cash, check, certified check, money order or transfer are acceptable means of payment.  Any checks must be accompanied by a letter of guarantee from the bank which it is written and clear funds prior to pickup.  No shipping is included.  I reserve the right to end the auction early as the vehicle is for sale by other means.  Any dogs and kids pictured are not included in the auction.

Guys, (and ladies) bid early and bid often.  You may never get another opportunity on one like this!

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."

Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.

Toyota announces GT86 CS-R3 rally car

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Toyota Motorsport GmbH has developed cars for all manner of racing, up to and including Formula One and Le Mans. But it got its start back in 1979 in rally competition, winning four drivers' and three manufacturers' titles in the World Rally Championship. And now it's announced a new rally car.
Based on the Toyota GT86 (better known to us as the Scion FR-S), the CS-R3 rally car isn't built to contest the top tier of the WRC, but is being developed to conform to the lower R3 class. That means a six-speed sequential gearbox, limited slip differential and upgraded engine, brakes, aero... the works. It'll retain the road-going model's rear-drive setup, joining the front-drive Yaris R1A in TMG's portfolio of customer rally cars.
Further details are set to be revealed "in the coming months", but the GT86 CS-R3 will benefit from the experience TMG accrued in developing the GT86 CS-V3 (pictured above) for the Nürburgring-based VLN endurance racing series.
