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!

Toyota Matrix not long for this world?

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

According to a report from AutoGuide, Toyota doesn't have plans to replace the aging Matrix hatchback in the United States after this year. If true, the timing coincides with the replacement for the Corolla, on which the Matrix is based, with that car slated to get its first complete redesign since 2006 (2008 in the US market).
We'd love to tell you how many Matrix models were sold by Toyota in the United States last year, but the automaker chooses to bundle Matrix sales with Corolla sales, so we have no idea. That said, we have to assume sales of the hatchback don't contribute much overall to the total number of Corolla-based machines.
We're also unsure if Toyota will choose to exit the youth-oriented compact hatchback market entirely, or if the automaker will rely instead on its hybrid Prius line and Scion models like the xB and xD.

10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019

Tue, Dec 24 2019

It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references.  Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
