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 mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?
Mon, 02 Sep 2013When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.
The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.
BMW i5 returns as next rumored i Project vehicle
Thu, Sep 17 2015Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle enthusiasts may want to give each other some high-fives when they hear the latest news about BMW's reputed i5. The German automaker has been rumored to be on the verge of expanding its i brand beyond its i3 battery-electric and i8 plug-in hybrid cars for a long while. The latest rumors say that BMW could be working on a hydrogen-powered i5 crossover. BMW is in the "final stages of consideration" of expanding the sub-brand, Bloomberg News says, citing comments BMW executive Ian Robertson made this week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. There may be more light-weighting efforts, and an alternative powertrain is sure to be in order, but there are few details beyond that. BMW of North America spokeswoman Rebecca Kiehne declined to comment to AutoblogGreen. Since 2013, BMW has worked with Toyota on hydrogen fuel-cell drivetrains and might further expand that relationship, MarketWatch says, citing BMW financial chief Friedrich Eichiner. The two automakers have already worked together on a prototype BMW 5 Series sedan with a hydrogen-powered engine. That car was unveiled this summer. Earlier this year, we heard reports about an i5 that would actually be a hybrid-electric vehicle of sorts, and an extremely powerful one. That rumored vehicle – again some sort of modified 5 Series – would actually contain one gas-powered engine and two electric motors, all combining for more than 540 horsepower. If these latest rumors turn out to be true, they would mark a change in things, but we won't be surprise if we hear yet another version of what the i5 will be before it's all said and done.
Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
