1967 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ45LV
This Land Cruiser is a true barn find survivor. 1967 was the very last year for Toyota to keep these in production until they were replaced by the FJ55. The "L" Stands for Left Hand Drive and the "V" stands for Van. There were only an estimated 500-600 of these important into the United States from Japan, it's unknown how many of these are still alive today. Mileage is extremely low at 90,210. These were the changes made in 1967 before they went out of production: - The basics: 1 1/2 ” brow - 1 1/2 ” brow above windshield - Corner mounted sun visors - Improved drainage for cowl vent (late 1967) - Move VIN to passenger fender - New weather stripping w/ plastic (steel reinforced) bead - Improved venting for gas tank (late 1967) WHY ARE WE SELLING IT? It's never easy is it? Due to health complications and the cost of medical bills the owner is forced with the decision to sell one of his most prized possessions. Knowing that we know Land Cruisers he consulted with us to make sure that it gets in the right hands at the right price as efficiently as possible. He knows these things go for upwards of $40k and up but there is little time to clean her up and sell her let alone just drive her around time to enjoy. It's truly his loss and your gain. This Land Cruiser is a perfect candidate for someone who wants to do a full restoration or just simply wants to driver her around. DRIVETRAIN: She has the factory built 3.9L Inline 6. Producing roughly 125HP, she wasn't a power house but this was plenty sufficient in 1967 and had enough torque to take on the heaviest trails. She runs like a well oiled machine and doesn't miss a bit sitting at the light. I would drive this truck another million miles with this engine. The transmission is manual 3 speed gear box DRIVABILITY: Anywhere! I would jump in this thing right now and drive her to Cali for a surf trip! for a 40 plus year old vehicle she drives and runs amazing. She purrs like a kitten and drives down the road straight. The clutch is firm and so easy to use even a teenager could learn how to drive it. Every gear slides in perfectly and as it should without grinding. The suspension has been replaced with a 2" lift from Old Man Emu. This kit has been the staple for lifting Land Cruisers for many years and is highly respected among the Land Cruiser community. She rides better than factory and is more than capable of taking her to some light trails for a light off-roading. Brakes do need some pumping every once in a while to keep up the pressure. BODY EXTERIOR: There were many rust concerns when these vehicles were first introduced and Toyota improved their drainage system 1967 to help in preventing any of those issues from developing. Fortunately this 45LV is a fighter! Only a few small rust pockets and some surface rust found their way onto this truck and everything is completely repairable if needed. The floor boards are in great shape, the drip rails are in great shape and many of the areas where rust should be is non-existent. At one point in this trucks life it was painted the two tone Orange and White, though these trucks came from the factory two toned we don't know at this time whether or not that was the factory color or not. The paint job appears to be over a decade old and could even pass for original to an untrained eye. INTERIOR: The interior is like a time capsule, untouched it's entire life. The door panels are tattered and the the steering wheel is smooth from the hands of it's owners. It's dusty and needs a quick swipe of a rag to clean her up. She has a couple tears in the seats and the headliner is sagging a bit but aside from that it's in great shape for the shape she's in! Just a few hours cleaning things up and your spouse might ask to go for a ride! From the factory these truck came with a factory Air Conditioning unit under the dash and believe it or not she still blows cold! We've seen a lot of Land Cruisers and a working, operational A/C is even more rare! Please message us for additional pictures! On Jun-06-14 at 16:26:57 PDT, seller added the following information: OOOPS! I made a mistake and stated that the A/C was factory and it is in fact not factory. It is in fact an aftermarket unit, sorry for the misinformation. |

Toyota wants improved crash scores with midcycle facelifts
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The performances of some Toyotas in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) regimen of crash tests leave something to be desired. Consider the small overlap frontal crash test: only six Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles have undergone the new test, yet all but one of them received a poor rating. Osama Nagata, CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., says midcycle vehicle updates are in the works to address the safety issues brought to light by the IIHS test, Automotive News reports. He confirmed that the RAV4 is getting safety updates following its crash test performance last month, but he didn't name any other models.
All three Toyotas that were tested - 2013 RAV4, 2012-2013 Prius V, 2012-2013 Camry - received poor ratings. The 2007-2012 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2013 IS 250/350 also received poor ratings. The only other Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle to score better than poor is the 2014 Scion TC. It received an acceptable rating in the small overlap frontal crash test and is the only recent vehicle in Toyota's line-up to get the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
The small overlap front crash test measures the safety of a car when its front left corner is strikes an object during an accident, bypassing traditional crumple zones, which deform in a way to protect passengers. In 2009, automakers were alerted to the forthcoming addition of the test, which was first implemented last year, IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. They responded with differing intensity, he says, pointing out that Subaru and Honda started incorporating design changes early on so their cars would perform well in the tests.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power
Tue, 18 Nov 2014It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.
