Number of Cylinders: 6
Drive Type: 4WD
Transmission: Manual-4 speed Condition: Excellent Exterior: Black Jade Metallic Interior: Cream This iconic Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser was purchased in Moscow Idaho in July 1976 for $6,425, and remained in the same ownership for the next 28 years. The second owner undertook a total frame off restoration, including a complete sanding and repainting of the frame, body, roof, original factory wheels (to match the roof and interior color), new leather interior, “BDS Lift Kit,” all-terrain “Big O A / T Big Foot” tires and “Pacer” polished alloy wheels (the original wheels and tires come with the Cruiser too), wiring harness, servicing of the original factory winch (driven directly from the transfer case, known as a powered take off “P.T.O.” as it is powered from by the engine). The “safari roof rack” was also added as hardtop enhancement furthering the roughed off-road look of the Cruiser. A deep black metallic jade was chosen for the exterior and interior metal and light cream for the removable hardtop, factory wheels and leather seats, resulting in refined overall look and feel to the Cruiser. With the odometer showing approximately 49,000 miles and the engine running strong and without issues, its condition only required a cleaning with a change of plugs, filters and oil. It retains the original 4.2 Liter Inline 6 Cylinder 258 cubic inch displacement gasoline engine, with a 2-barrel carburetor and 4-speed manual transmission. The engine starts immediately and runs well, and has excellent power and torque. The 4-speed transmission and terrain selector (which adjusts the drivetrain from two to four wheel drive) shift with authority. Having been more interested in the restoration project then using of the vehicle, it remained a part of the second owner’s car collection in Bozeman Montana, seeing limited use, for two years. The third owner purchased the Cruiser while on vacation at Big Sky, Montana and immediately drove it 1,500 miles across the country to his home in northern Michigan. It made the trip flawlessly and continues to remain as mechanically sound as the day it first rolled of the lot in Moscow, Idaho back in July 1976. At some point after June of 2004 and before June of 2006 the odometer was ceased working and was replaced by the third owner. The odometer currently shows approximately 38,000 miles. So we know the odometer is no longer accurate, our belief is the actual mileage is approximately 55,000 miles, but we cannot confirm this. What really sets this vehicle apart is the exceptional attention to detail. Almost all of the original hardware, such as the bolts, nuts, hose clamps, hard lines, and brackets have been maintained (it is only missing the original am/fm radio). The electrical and mechanical items are in perfect working order, 100% rust-free with beautiful seams, gaps and joints. No leaks, no rust and no issues. As the fourth owner we have enjoyed driving the Cruiser this past summer and found it to be trouble free, extraordinarily reliable and the topic of attention wherever we have taken it. Kids in college require its sale so we are looking for a good home to continue the care and enjoyment of the Cruiser. The original paperwork includes: Toyota owner’s manual, factory window sticker, dealer’s price label, EPA fuel estimate, dealer statement of odometer mileage, dealer bill of sale, first owner’s financing/security agreement. Miscellaneous records and invoices from service and restoration also included. Original Toyota issued “patinated” tool kit and wheel-changing tools are also included. In addition, the hard top can be removed and would be perfect for those “bikini top” days in the warmer months. This is a beautiful, investment-grade time capsule in excellent condition. The photos speak for themselves! Original FJ's of this caliber are pretty much non-existent, they're only original once, here's your opportunity... Fly in and drive home (buyer is responsible for Cruiser delivery). |

Toyota Matrix not long for this world?
Thu, 18 Apr 2013According 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.
Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.
