This is a very solid very dependable all original Landcruiser.  I have owned it for 5 years and always kept it in the garage and took the best care I could for it.  It can be a daily driver.  The previous owner had it in a couple of car shows - but I do not have details.  There are some rust spots but only on the surface - it has seen some rain in it's days.  All seals around the doors are in excellent condition.  All windows work.  No chips in glass.  Doors lock.  Original keys and manual.  I hate to let this go, but I have to get my garage back.  No accidents and no bodywork that I know of - all solid metal and no dents.

 

It has only been in Wisconsin for 5 years and never driven in winter.  Always kept in garage.  Small patches (dime size) in a about 10 places.  New paint about 10 years ago - starting to fade in some areas but professionally done.  Runs strong and drives excellent.  Does leak oil in 2 places around transmission but only little spots.  No radio, but there is a place for one.  Does not burn any oil.  All original - no aftermarket anything.  Rare near perfect solid FJ-40.  All complete, nothing missing.  Comes with original manual and jack.  I bought it 5 years ago off ebay for over $10k and there were 3 bids competing with me until the end.  I have put about 20k miles on it driving my kids around during the summer months.  The odometer does not work - all other instrumentation does including wipers, interior light, heaters, vents, lighter, all exterior lights.  I do not think the wiper washer fluid works, but all the parts are there.  No emissions equiptment in this cruiser.

See my terms for payment.  Shipping by car carrier is around $600 in continential US and takes about 3 weeks.  I will help with shipping (availible for the load) on my end but you must coordinate setting up with carrier.

Toyota MR2 shows why we still love the 1990s

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

Was there a better time for Japanese performance than the 1980s and 1990s? It seems like looking back, Japan was on a roll, producing cars that were affordable, economical, reliable, fast and lightweight. And while all the attention is - thanks to a certain film series - focused on cars like Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7, there is a lesser-known model that's establishing its own enduring legacy without the help of Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.
The MR2, affectionately known as the "Mister Two" to fanboys, first arrived in 1984 as a lightweight, mid-engined sports car that proceeded to eat the lunch of the Pontiac Fiero in terms of performance. That car was replaced in 1989 with the more familiar, rounded-out MR2, which is the subject of this latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
The video takes a look at a group of MR2 drivers, and attempts to explain what it is about the car that is destined to make it a future classic. Scroll down to see Petrolicious examine the MR2 Connection.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category.
