Up for grabs is this 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. This FJ features what we believe to be the original engine, original transmission, and original hard top. This FJ starts easily and drives very well at speed, it has a four speed manual transmission. All four tires match (spare is not present) and have well over 50% tread showing. The interior is very complete, and the dash pad is in very good condition, all of the gauges/lights/electrics work, and there is an FJ40 rubber floor mat for the front passenger cab. There is also what appears to be the original headliner, this is in very good condition. Original roll bar is also present and in good condition. Radio does not appear to be functioning. The heater does work as do the wipers. All brake lights, headlights, and turn signals are functioning.

On 12/9, this FJ received a full tune-up by a master mechanic, to include spark plugs AND fuel filter as well as an oil change. It idles well and evenly, and there is plenty of power from the engine. At the same time, I had a compression test performed on the engine, the results are below:

Cylinder 1-150 psi

Cylinder 2-151 psi

Cylinder 3-155 psi

Cylinder 4-150 psi

Cylinder 5-160 psi

Cylinder 6-160 psi

As you can see from the pictures, the most immediate issue facing this FJ is the rust, the tub should be considered gone or close to gone. However, the chassis shows remarkably little rust (I have additional photos of the undercarriage, please let me know if you want them sent to you), and the hard top, doors, hood, etc should all be salvageable.

This Land Cruiser starts easily (first crank), the carb and engine appear to be in excellent working order, and after driving this FJ, I can attest that the clutch is very strong and there is plenty of power. The vehicle also has an Optima red top battery as well as Warn locking hubs. This should be an excellent candidate for a full restoration that can also be driven throughout the process.

The sale includes what appears to be the original Bill of Sale as well as the original key. Also included is a complete owner's manual.

If you have ANY questions, would like to see additional photos, would like to receive videos of the vehicle with the engine idling, or need any additional information, my cell phone is 615-300-6004. Please feel free to call and/or text during normal business hours, and I will make every effort to accommodate you.

Please note: I am an automobile dealer in Nashville, TN. My main focus is finding, driving, buying and selling Land Cruisers and other vintage SUV's. As such, I must collect sales tax for Tennessee residents ONLY; I do charge a doc fee of $199 per vehicle. I do have several other FJ's available, our website is RockstarMotorcars.com.

I accept the following forms of payment: Credit cards (3% swipe fee applies), personal checks, cashier's checks, wire transfers (small fee applies), and cash. This FJ40 will come with a 30 day temporary tag, and I will only send out the title after all funds have been collected, title will be sent by FedEx. Vehicle will be made available to depart our location only after all funds have been collected. All sales are final.

YES, I will end this auction early for the right offer, please contact me directly on 615-300-6004.

I DO accept vehicles as trades on a limited basis, you must bring your vehicle to Nashville for me to evaluate it before I will sell you this FJ40.

I can have this FJ40 delivered to your front door nationally or internationally for far less than you might think (i.e. $500 to DC, $700 to Los Angeles); please provide your zip code for an accurate estimate on shipping.

Please consider all aspects of owning a classic Toyota Land Cruiser BEFORE bidding, a bid is a legally binding contract. Please remember to check with your spouse/child/partner/pet/religious leader and ensure that you have "permission" to purchase this vehicle AND that you have all necessary funds in place, all nonpaying bidders will be fully prosecuted.

Again, if you have any questions or need additional photos/videos, please feel free to call or text me on 615-300-6004. This is a great Land Cruiser that drives well and could be the base for a great restoration, thank you for looking!

Supra successor may be all-electric sourced from Tesla; MR2 returning too?

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

Rumors of a revival of the Toyota Supra and MR2 have been swirling for years right up until just this week when high-level Toyota employees all but confirmed their return.
But now The Detroit Bureau has put together news from different sources suggesting that the next Supra might be all electric. The report cites recent comments from Toyota senior executives hinting at plans to work with Tesla on a new joint project. The FT-HS Concept (shown above) seems a logical inspiration for a new Supra.
And on the other side of the equation is Tesla's design chief Franz von Holzhausen who was quoted last year saying his company was looking at its next project, probably a sports car, that would follow next year's intro of the Model X. He went on to suggest the car would compete directly with BMW's 3 Series, which, in coupe form, could be a worthy competitor to a Supra as well.

Mazda's new Mexican plant capacity rises to 230,000

Sat, 05 Jan 2013

After the turmoil of last year, 2013 is getting off to a much better start for Mazda. The company has issued a release indicating that the forthcoming plant in Salamanca, Mexico has had its production capacity raised even though it isn't scheduled to go online until March 2014. The original plans called for a 140,000-unit capacity, 90,000 of that allotted for the Mazda2 and Mazda3, the remaining 50,000 for a small car Mazda would build for Toyota that would be based on the Mazda2. The new plans call for raising that by 90,000 units to a total of 230,000 units within two years, by the end of March 2016, and it looks like it will all go toward Mazda production to satisfy growing demand for Skyactiv vehciles. The Mexican plant's opening will be the return of Mazda manufacturing to North America, after Mazda6 production was moved back to Japan last year.
More good news for the company is that it projects 10 billion yen ($114 million) in net income for the financial year that will end in March. That would be a welcome turnaround from the 100-billion-yen loss in the previous financial year, part of a series of three annual losses in a four-year span.
You'll find the press release with the factory update below.

Toyota sizzle reel gives better look at i-Road Geneva concept

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Toyota 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.
