Elite Land Cruisers in partnership with Export Cruisers Company is proud to present the latest rare, professional
frame off, nut and bolt, bare metal, mechanical running gear and engine restoration in one of the most sought after
and rare Land Cruiser configurations.
Presenting the 1963 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Factory Short Bed in Toyota Heath Grey #113
This was the first year for the FJ45 Pickup Series and this VIN number is one of the few earliest known in the
world to still exist. In fact, factory short beds are extremely rare and had unique features not found on the long
bed pickups. A fixed hard top version like this one was only available early as later years went to the removable
hard top. This rare Land Cruiser was a special order into Costa Rica in 1962 and it arrived in 1963 when it was
first titled. Technically built in 1962 but sold in 1963 it received an original 1963 title as was the common
practice. The Land Cruiser found its way into Panama from Costa Rica in the 70s where an engineer who worked for
the Panama Canal owned it, but it returned to Costa Rica in 1985 where it was used for general errand use for years
in the central valley near San Jose before it was rescued by our team and brought back better than new.
Our restorations are not “refreshes” like some who try to pass them off as restorations. We can provide you
references to our executive clients. These are the real deal, like new Land Cruisers- New steel fenders, beds,
floor, pans and absolutely no patching or bondo.
It is a stunning example of a professional, no expense spared, proper restoration. The ultimate missing link for a
private collector, museum, enthusiast with the sought-after color, year, and original Toyota F Engine Powertrain.
This is a Japan built global spec Toyota Land Cruiser.

Sports 800 is a progenitor of Toyota performance
Tue, 18 Nov 2014There's an automotive axiom that claims it's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow. If that's the case, then pushing a Toyota Sports 800 around must be one of the most exhilarating experiences behind the wheel in the world. With just 800cc of displacement from a two-cylinder boxer engine, the focus is on finesse over outright speed. Still, it's a fantastic page in Toyota's performance history, and Petrolicious takes a ride with a man who owns a meticulously restored 1967 example in its latest video.
The Sports 800 used the classic cost-saving strategy in the auto industry of taking parts from a standard model in the lineup and modifying it into a sports car. In this case that meant borrowing the engine from the plebian Toyota Publica, beefing it up for more power and clothing the whole thing a in beautifully shaped, wind-tunnel-honed body.
The look of these lithe, targa roadsters is the exact opposite of the rather dull styling sometimes associated with Toyota today. Everywhere you look there are louvers, vents or curves to draw the eye. Check out the latest Petrolicious video for a detailed look at the history of this rare model that's largely unknown on this side of the Pacific.
Toyota sizzle reel gives better look at i-Road Geneva concept
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Toyota is taking the tiny tandem Tango to Tron town. In a teaser video for the new i-Road, debuting at the Geneva Motor Show next week, we catch a light-bike-like glimpse of Toyota's quirky tandem-seat concept. We still don't know much about the vehicle itself, but the video does flash the words "fun, compact, emissions-free," which suggests this is an electric ride. Then comes the apparent tagline: "i Roll, i Rock i Road." An indication that the tilting image we see in the video isn't just a special effect, perhaps? We'll have to wait until we get to Switzerland next week to find out. Until then, you can watch the video below.
In more earthly reveals, Toyota will also show off its hotly anticipate FT-86 Open sports car concept and Auris Touring Sports wagon on its Geneva show stand.
Toyota recalling 800k Camry, Avalon and Venza models for AC issue
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Toyota has announced plans to voluntarily recall 803,000 vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013, over concerns with the air conditioning condenser housing. The recall covers the Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and Venza, although the exact split between affected models wasn't available.
According to Toyota, the condenser can leak onto an airbag control module, which in turn could cause a short circuit. In most cases, this will just lead to an airbag warning light, but in rarer instances, the airbags could fail to deploy or pop out of their own accord. There's also a concern over a loss of power steering if the airbag control module develops a short.
It's unclear if there have been any injuries or crashes relating to the defects. Toyota will begin informing owners of affected vehicles via first class mail, and will ask them to report to dealerships for recall work, involving the installation of a cover on the condenser housing.
