Elite Land Cruisers in partnership with Export Cruisers Company is proud to present the latest rare, professional
frame off, nut and bolt, bare metal, mechanical running gear and engine restoration in one of the most sought after
and rare Land Cruiser configurations.
Presenting the 1963 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Factory Short Bed in Toyota Heath Grey #113
This was the first year for the FJ45 Pickup Series and this VIN number is one of the few earliest known in the
world to still exist. In fact, factory short beds are extremely rare and had unique features not found on the long
bed pickups. A fixed hard top version like this one was only available early as later years went to the removable
hard top. This rare Land Cruiser was a special order into Costa Rica in 1962 and it arrived in 1963 when it was
first titled. Technically built in 1962 but sold in 1963 it received an original 1963 title as was the common
practice. The Land Cruiser found its way into Panama from Costa Rica in the 70s where an engineer who worked for
the Panama Canal owned it, but it returned to Costa Rica in 1985 where it was used for general errand use for years
in the central valley near San Jose before it was rescued by our team and brought back better than new.
Our restorations are not “refreshes” like some who try to pass them off as restorations. We can provide you
references to our executive clients. These are the real deal, like new Land Cruisers- New steel fenders, beds,
floor, pans and absolutely no patching or bondo.
It is a stunning example of a professional, no expense spared, proper restoration. The ultimate missing link for a
private collector, museum, enthusiast with the sought-after color, year, and original Toyota F Engine Powertrain.
This is a Japan built global spec Toyota Land Cruiser.

Toyota recalls 690,000 Tacoma trucks for rusty leaf springs, fire risk
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Toyota has announced that it will be issuing a recall of 690,000 Tacoma pickups from model years 2005 through 2011. The affected vehicles include both the four-wheel-drive model and the two-wheel-drive PreRunner (but not the standard 4x2 pickups), which may have a rather serious problem with their rear suspensions.
In some cases, corrosion and stress could cause one of the three or four leaves in the rear suspension's leaf springs to fracture. While the trucks can still be driven with a broken leaf, Toyota is concerned that it could move out of position and impact other components in the rear of the truck, with a particular focus on the fuel tank. Needless to say, but a piece of metal continuously impacting anything, let alone the fuel tank, is cause for concern.
As of this writing, there have been no reports of crashes, injuries, fires or deaths due to this problem, although that won't stop Toyota from informing all affected customers of the issue. Those 690,000 owners will need to report in to dealers for inspections and, if necessary, repairs.
Subaru to stop building Camry for Toyota in the US
Fri, 09 May 2014It was back in 2007 that Subaru of Indiana Automotive, under contract from Subaru minority shareholder Toyota, built the first Toyota Camry at its plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Rumblings of the end of that contract work have been around for a while, as Subaru talked of expanding capacity to build more units and add a line for the Impreza, and Toyota talked of moving Camry production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The news was official internally last November when SIA Executive Vice President Tom Easterday told the Louisville Courier-Journal that Camry production would end. Now, Automotive News reports that both automakers have admitted publicly that the end will come in 2016.
SIA currently has a 170,000-unit capacity devoted to the home-brand Legacy and Outback models, while a $400-million expansion increases that to 300,000 units to prepare the facility for Impreza production in two years. Freeing up the 100,000 units of production devoted to the Camry means a 400,000-unit capability, which is far more than Subaru needs at the moment, but the Toyota exit will allow it to expand any way it sees fit. Subaru has said it will absorb the workers on the Camry line and no jobs will be lost, the mayor of Lafayette saying the development could change the timetable for the expansion.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
