1978 Fj40 Land Cruiser 42k Orig Miles & Light Resto New Ultimate Old Emu Lift on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
This is an incredible rare find - maybe not quite a 'barn' find - but it is our understanding that it was in a garage and storage unit for most of its life with only two previous owners. The original owner bought it up near Elko Nevada and used it for prospecting and trapping in the high desert area three hours east of Reno. The second owner knew him when he was younger and often asked him if he could buy it - then one day in 2009 the original owner went to his house and offered it to him for sale - the second owner had almost forgot what he was talking about! We visited the second owner last year and were lucky enough to purchase it. We also found one gas receipt from December 1978 when the original owner purchased gas - 66.9 cents per gallon - full tank $9.90! Well - it's too nice for us to keep and two kids starting college shortly need their tuition paid - now - but we did freshen it up and added a few upgrades with a complete and light frame on restoration. Everything about this FJ 40 is like a time capsule from 1978 with 42k original low miles. It shifts and runs like new. The doors open and close as if they were new - the engine idles and runs smoothly at 65mph all day long. The transmission shifts perfectly through all forward gears and reverse, and it transfers effortlessly to 4wd. Original AM radio, never used orig Work Light and the glovebox outlet works, Orig touch up paint can and orig manuals. Everything works electronically - All gauges and switches work with upgraded actual water temp - can be removed and reinstalled to temp guage - your choice - but it is nice to know the exact temperature. All orig factory tools/bag, jack and components as they came from the factory. Original factory dash has no cracks or wear of any kind, original Toyota front floor mat is like new, rear orig insulated mat in great condition. Original door panels are in like new condition with no signs of wear of any kind. All weather stripping in great condition. The windows crank up and down with little effort. All Original Factory Toyota Glass, including the windshield. If you choose to fly in and pick it up personally - and drive it back - I would have no worries you would make it home mechanically - its that nice and dependable. It would also be quite a deal at our reserve price compared to the ones completely restored ones that have sold at auction recently for $77K and $105K.

Toyota expects hybrids will soon reach 20-percent sales volume globally
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Hybrids have come quite a long way from their roots as dull, slow, boring ecomobiles. Today, Porsche sells three hybrid models, one of which is the amazing 918 Spyder. BMW will soon sell four, including a low-slung, two-seat sports car. Even Ferrari and McLaren, full-fledged hypercar manufacturers, are embracing the tech. And all of these cars are sold alongside the same sort of boring cars that popularized hybrids in the first place. According to Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada, though, we should see an even bigger increase in the number of hybrid vehicles in the coming years.
"I foresee hybrid models pretty soon reaching 20 percent of global sales from about 13 percent to 14 percent now," Uchiyamada-san told Automotive News. Uchiyamada is the man behind the original Prius, which gives him some degree of authority on making predictions about hybrid adoption.
What's remarkable, though, is that the 20-percent figure doesn't include plug-in hybrids, just gas- and diesel-electric models. "Suppliers need higher volumes to slash costs of components specific to plug-in models, including batteries that should be bigger and more capable than the ones used in traditional hybrids," Uchiyamada told AN.
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.
2015 Toyota Camry targeting 'more emotional' design
Sun, 19 Jan 2014There are many ways to describe the Toyota Camry: "comfortable," "economical," "affordable," "reliable" and "dull as a bucket of mayonnaise" would all be accurate. It's this last one that the Japanese brand is seeking to change. While we aren't expecting it to suddenly sprout a high-revving V8, a rear-drive layout or razor-sharp handling, a report from Bloomberg suggests we should at least expect a more evocative design from one of the best-selling cars in the country.
The next Camry update, due for 2015, should have a "more emotional, more impactful design," says Kevin Hunter, head of Toyota's US design studio. That's according to Bloomberg, who caught up with the styling boss at this week's Detroit Auto Show. "Camry's taken some hits on styling, but it's still selling well. But we need to create better design for Camry in the future."
