This 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser (VIN FJ5530025) benefits from a recent, good driver quality restoration including new paint, upgraded seats, disc brakes, power steering, and fitment of a 300 HP, 350 cubic-inch small block Chevy V8 mated to a fresh Toyota 4-speed manual. The truck has clean, solid floors, frame rails and rockers with rust limited to some moderate bubbling found mostly along the drip rails. It’s currently running and driving well and looks great in the factory green/cream color scheme. 
It is now available in Salt Lake City, Utah
Two tones work very well with these trucks, and both the medium green and cream components of this combo are well chosen. Panels looks solid and straight with good fit, though several paint imperfections can be seen in different places, the worst of which seems to be a half inch nick with rust on the front, outer corner of the driver’s side hood bulge. Matte gray Icon-style wheels are a great choice and wear fresh rubber, the stock front bumper has been replaced with a quality ARB bull bar, and a Reese Class III trailer hitch resides in back.
Inside, seats are upgraded modern buckets for increased safety and long distance comfort. A simple Grant three spoke leather steering wheel looks good here, as do door panels with upholstery matched to the seats, and a large, clean cargo area.
Underhood, the largely stock 350 makes a nice round 300 HP thanks in part to a large Edelbrock carb, and the engine is tight, leak free and strong running. A red top Optima battery is a nice option, and with the dramatically increased power on offer this FJ55 should be capable of freeway merges with ease.
In addition to a fresh Toyota 4-speed, other driveline maintenance includes a fresh transfer case, clutch, and all new driveshafts as of May, 2013. A 40-gallon fuel tank is more than adequate, while the power steering and disc brakes make for substantial driveability improvements on these rigs.
Just back from a trip to the local shop for $2,800 worth of upgrades and repairs to insure that the new buyer will have a ride ready rig, here is a list of some of the services performed…

  • New Valve Cover Gasket Set
  • New Power Steering Pump
  • All four Wheel Cylinders
  • Emergency Brake Shoe
  • Repair Horn
  • Replace Front Crankshaft Seal
  • Replace Valve Cover Gaskets
  • Replace Power Steering Pump
  • Replace Power Steering Gear
  • Repair Rear Brakes
  • Replace Park Brake Shoes and Transfer Case Rear Output Seal


Still trying to figure out why the turn signals are not operating correctly. Looks like the new owner will have something to tinker with to make him happy.

Buyer is responsible for pickup or delivery. I will work with you or your agent to help you get your new Classic Cruiser delivered to your home.

Lightweight Toyota GT86 spotted on Nordschleife with carbon panels, upgraded aero

Tue, 24 Jun 2014

We've seen (and frankly reported on) so many rumors of more powerful and performance-focused versions of the Subaru BRZ, Toyota GT86 and Scion FR-S at this point that haven't materialized that, at this point, we're almost tired of them. Almost. But what we have here was enough to pique our jaded interests as only a carbon-bodied sports car on the Nürburgring could do.
What we're looking at is, well, we don't quite know, to tell you the truth. What we can tell is that it's a Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S for us) wearing new wheels and a carbon-fiber hood, roof, racing-spec rear wing and subtle lip spoiler. The vents in the hood indicate that the prototype in question could be packing an upgraded engine to go with the lighter body panels and upgraded aero, and the interior (at least as far as we can see) looks pretty well stripped out.
The right-hand drive configuration tells us this is either destined for former territories of the British Empire or for the racetrack. Considering the ride height, full glass and apparent lack of roll cage, our money's on this prototype is being developed for the Japanese Domestic Market, where Toyota badges the sports car simply as the 86. We can always hope, though, that some version makes it into Scion showrooms in North America... we just won't get our hopes up too high.
