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.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:

Toyota JPN Taxi Concept is a Japanese riff on an English classic

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

As far as beasts of burden go, New York City's new - and much maligned - Nissan NV200 "Taxi of Tomorrow" isn't a bad one. It's space efficient, reasonably economical, and its simple construction should mean it's pretty robust over the long haul, too. But it lacks panache and a sense of occasion - let alone a sense of humor - three things this this Toyota JPN Taxi Concept we found at the Tokyo Motor Show has in spades.
Unfortunately, that's about all the information we have on this cheeky London-taxi-inspired showcar. Toyota hasn't provided much in the way of details, other than to proclaim that the five-seat JPN was "created with Japanese hospitality in mind" and it "aims to enliven city streets." Japan's livery landscape has long been occupied by traditional three-box sedans - models like the Toyota Crown and Nissan Cedric. The JPN Taxi at just over 171 inches would appear to offer both a tighter footprint and added whimsy, both of which are in the automaker's favor; we hear it hopes this concept will one day become the country's own version of America's yellow Crown Vic cab.
Toyota isn't providing powertrain specifications, but we like the airy feeling of the interior (Japanese cabs typically don't have cumbersome partitions between cabbie and passengers), the minimalist driver area with three screens, and the widescreen overhead video system for passengers that bookends the panoramic moonroof. Check it out in our gallery of live shots and let us know what you think in Comments.

177k Toyota Camry Hybrids being recalled for brake issue

Mon, 11 Aug 2014

It looks like Consumer Reports might be getting part of what it wants regarding the Toyota Camry Hybrid and its braking system. Toyota is issuing what it calls a limited service campaign, rather than a full recall, covering about 177,500 of the hybrid sedans from the 2007 through 2011 model years because of an issue with the cars' brake fluid reservoirs.
The models have a filter separating two chambers of the brake fluid reservoir, and the part can get clogged over time. If this happens, the fluid level in one of the chambers can get too low and eventually cause the power assist to fail. There are multiple warning lights on the dashboard that illuminate over time if the filter gets obstructed, though. The company is replacing the entire reservoir with an improved unit, and the fix takes about two hours to perform.
Consumer Reports recently began asking for a recall on these models for the potentially clogged filters. The magazine also reported a second issue with the ABS brake actuator that could lead to a difficult to depress brake, but Toyota has increased the warranty on the part to 10 years or 150,000 miles.
