I have up for sale my daily driver and weekend warrior - 1971 Toyota LandCruiser FJ55 featuring the original Inline 6 engine fully rebuilt less than 4 years ago and runs like a top. Only 35K miles since the rebuild and starts/runs great! 3 speed on the tree shifts great through all gears including reverse. 4 inch lift kit paired with Pro Comp 33 x 12.5 x 15LT X Terrain off road tires and a new two tone paint job gives this Cruiser a stunning look! Great work or play truck with reliability and confidence. This by far is the most attention getting vehicle I've ever owned and it brings smiles to people who watch it drive around town.

All body panels are very nice now and frame is solid! Some surface rust here and there but all the prep work was completed before the painting process. Both front and rear bumpers are in great shape. There is a place to mount a winch to the front bumper but I never could get my hands on a Warn winch or desired choice. Headlights are LED (nice), brake lights, gas/temp/pressure gauges work as they should and the same goes for the aftermarket tach. Wipers work great, variable speed. Sometimes the turn signal blinkers are intermittent. Rear window motor works great and all glass is original and in great shape. The seats might need some stitching around the edges due to normal wear. The roof is in good condition and no leaks.

Some recent maintenance work completed:

Jan/Feb. 2014-new spark plugs, plug wires, air filter, starter (with warranty), front and rear performance shocks, driver side rear wheel cylinders, steering bar tie rod ends, brake lines/hoses, brake shoes, fuel filters, and fuel lines. I noticed a very small leak coming from the passenger side wheel cylinder just the other day but its isolated. All receipts to follow with the new owner. This Land Cruiser FJ55 is not perfect but certainly a lot of care and love has made this SUV a joy to own. This FJ55 is registered and I have a clean NC title in hand for easy transfer of ownership.

Please: NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDING! US FUNDS ONLY ACCEPTED. This 71 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 is sold as is, where is in Sunny Wilmington, NC. No warranty expressed or implied. Please asking questions before bidding and feel free to set up a time to view if you are able to. Thanks for your interest and happy bidding!

BMW could have a fuel cell vehicle by 2020

Sat, Jun 20 2015

The Ultimate Driving Machine may start emitting water vapor, which may not thrill gearheads but could be good for the environment. BMW may have a hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle to sell as soon as the end of the decade, UK's Auto Express says, citing people familiar with the process that it didn't identify. And the model will likely be sold within the i sub-brand that includes the i3 electric vehicle and the i8 plug-in hybrid. "We are working on fuel cell development, but we are not able to comment on vehicle plans at this stage or timing at this point," BMW spokesman Dave Buchko wrote in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen on Thursday. Chatter about a potential BMW fuel-cell vehicle has been getting louder in recent months. Late last year, Autocar reported that BMW was mulling using Toyota's fuel-cell system for a version of what would be called the i5 (all the better to quietly cruise the interstate running up and down the West Coast, we guess). BMW and Toyota have been working together on accelerating the development of fuel-cell technology since 2013. Toyota has since made good on the effort of selling fuel-cell vehicles by introducing the Mirai in Japan last year and is preparing to start sales in California later this year. But BMW has been mum, so far.

Toyota Camry re-earns CR 'Recommended' rating following crash tests

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

All is right again in the Toyota kingdom. The Japanese manufacturer's bread-and-butter sedan, the Camry, has been put back on Consumer Reports' "Recommended" vehicle list, following improved performance in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's crash testing.
You'll recall that the 2012 and 2013 Camry were infamously booted from the list due to "Poor" ratings in IIHS' notoriously tough small-overlap crash testing. Toyota vowed - just last week actually - to fix the ratings. As the Toyota brand's head, Bill Fay, said last week, "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."
Now, though, those redesigned cars have been tested, earning an "Acceptable" rating in the overlap testing. According to Consumer Reports, Camrys built from November 2013 on feature new internal structures that improve the car's crash test scores enough to make it a "Recommended" buy. IIHS has also elevated the car back to a position in its Top Safety Pick category, although it falls short of the new gold standard, the Top Safety Pick + rating.

Volvo, Kia and BYD duke it out in the finals for World Car of 2024

Mon, Feb 26 2024

Three electric vehicles — none produced by an American manufacturer Â— will compete next month for the title of 2024 World Car of the Year, it was announced Monday. The finalists are the Kia EV9, the Volvo EX30Â and the BYD SealÂ (shown above). The latter two are built in China. The three top finalists in five other categories were also named at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland. The winners in all six categories will be revealed live during an awards ceremony at the New York International Auto Show on March 27. This year marks the 20th year of the World Car Awards and the partnership with the New York show. Besides car of the year, the other finalists are: Electric vehicle: BMW i5, Kia EV9, Volvo EX30; Luxury car: BMW 5 Series/i5, Mercedes Benz E-Class, Mercedes Benz EQE SUV; Performance car: BMW M2, BMW XM, Hyundai Ionia 5 N; Urban car: BYD Dolphin, Lexus LBX, Volvo EX30; World Car Design: Ford Bronco, Ferrari Purosangue, Toyota Prius. Only Ford among U.S. companies has an entry in the final selections, and only in one category, design, for the Bronco. BMW has four vehicles in the finals, Volvo has three, Kia and Mercedes have two each. BYD from China has two entries as well. The Seal went on sale in in its home market in 2022 and is now available in most of the rest of the world. The BYD Co. (which stands for Build Your Dreams) has surpassed Tesla to become the worldÂ’s biggest maker of electric vehicles, and has its sights set on the U.S. The selection process for World Cars involves 100-plus automotive journalists from 29 countries who vote, as they review and test-drive the eligible vehicles for the 2024 awards. Their journey is captured virtually on World Car TV. Design/Style Geneva Motor Show BMW Ferrari Ford Hyundai Kia Lexus Mercedes-Benz Toyota Volvo Best Cars World Car of the Year
