1976 Toyota Landcruiser Fj40, V8, 5spd Nv4500, Very Clean Survivor, Pto Winch on 2040-cars
Pueblo, Colorado, United States
|
Very clean 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser with a Chevy 350c.i. V8 and a NV4500 5 speed transmission which is adapted to the original Toyota transfer case. This FJ40 has minimal rust and is equipped with a rare factory PTO winch. The engine swap was nicely done. Everything is correct from the exhaust to the motor mounts to the radiator (not a cobbled together hack job). Truck has 107500 miles on the clock. Runs, drives and stops excellent. The engine/trans swap was done a few years back and has proven reliable. The V8 and 5 speed trans allows this vehicle to be driven daily. It has the power to keep up with traffic in town and the 5th gear to keep up on the highway. Truck spent its entire life in the town of Canon City in Colorado. It was used but not abused. It is all original besides the engine swap and a rifle rack inside the drivers door. The original jack, tool bag, trouble light that plugs into the glove box, and owners manuals are still with the truck. I have the original sales receipt from Toyota Town Inc. Drive Train Chevy 350ci with an aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb and EFI. Engine runs strong and sounds healthy. Dual Flowmaster exhaust sounds great. Transmission is the desirable and bullet proof NV4500 5 speed adapted to the original Toyota transfer case. Shifts great, clutch excellent. Truck stops well with power disc brakes. Axles are original with original gearing. PTO winch works but has not seen much use, so the clutch lever is a bit stiff and needs some lube and love. Truck does not leak oil on the driveway. Body Original paint with that weird FJ40 fade. Cool patina. Some rust but very minimal for a FJ40. Floors are ridiculously clean and rust free and so are the doors. A few dings but over all pretty straight. Windows go up and down good but regulators are a bit sticky. Con-Fer rail mount roof rack. Interior Seats are nice original material, drivers seat has a small tear. Dash is clean but two Autometer gauges have been installed. They were installed neatly. Gauges work. Lights, signals, horn, wipers, heater controls work as they should. Headliner is gone. Rear heater is developing a leak (only when heat is on) and will need to be fixed eventually. I can bypass it if the winning bidder chooses to drive the FJ home. Tires/Wheels Wheels are original with original hub caps. Tires are near new 31x10.50 KM2 BF Goodrich mud terrains. They have a few hundred miles on them. The matching spare is still brand new. Overall a nice clean start to a restoration, or a very cool driver the way it is. The truck shows signs of use but not abuse. Whoever installed the V8 knew what they were doing and obviously cared about the end results. It is not currently registered or insured, but if you are up for an adventure I believe you could fly out, throw your gear in the back, and drive it home. I can meet the buyer at the Colorado Springs airport with the truck. Below is a link to 145 pictures. I believe I have covered every part of the vehicle. Call with questions at 719-557-1755 anytime. If you need to see something not covered in the pics just call and I will text what you need. http://s470.photobucket.com/user/TimothyHannon/library/1976%20Landcruiser?sort=3&page=1 I would like a $500.00 deposit within 24hrs of auction close, and full payment within 48hrs unless otherwise arranged through me.

First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
