1981 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj43 Soft Top on 2040-cars
Clearwater Beach, Florida, United States
|
Volcan 4x4, LLC registered in Florida presents our 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 Soft Top. We named her Rosalina for her shiny Freeborn Red paint same code as the data plate under the hood.
This is a highly desirable and highly restored truck. If you want an FJ43 this is your truck. This truck stops traffic in Colombia. Imagine what it will do in your neighborhood. This truck was recently highly restored by the previous owner and is shiny outside and underneath. No rust. Volcan 4x4 then spent over a month going through the truck with our specialists down in Colombia. All work was overseen by Land Cruiser enthusiast, US Citizen and owner of Volcan 4x4, Charles Guy. We performed the following: 1. 4 new Tokico shocks plus steering stabilizer 2. 5 restored and repainted 16 inch Toyota rims 3. 5 new South American brand unique traditional Mud Terrain 7.50 x 16 tires. These tires are great. 4. All new 4 drum brakes including drums, cylinders, brake lines, shoes. Truck stops straight and strongly coming down an 8000 foot mountain in the rain. 5. New oil, oil filter and air filter 6. New Pioneer head unit with ipod control and charger and remote and unique removable speaker box 7, Brand new exhaust 8. Recent alignment Can not confirm if this was a frame off restoration but all the bolts are new under the truck and the body paint under the truck along with the chassis is very very clean. Please note the stainless steel bolts. Some of the door and window gaskets are aftermarket but overall the truck looks very sharp. The new interior is a custom fabric used in Colombian restorations for its durability. This contrasting black interior has a denim feel and new car smell. It stays cool to the touch and looks perfectly durable for a trip to the beach. The custom top is high quality with high quality hardware and looks as new. Mechanically the truck starts up immediately with no choke. It feels very strong. Can not confirm if it was rebuilt. We test drove this truck upon completion one hour up from an elevation of 5000 feet on up to 8000 feet and it never overheated or lost power. The trip back down the mountain was in the rain and the brakes felt strong and secure. Please review videos of this test drive on Volcan 4x4 channel on youtube. Volcan 4x4 previously restored and imported a 1983 FJ40 into Tampa, Florida and sold it recently at Mecum Auctions in Kissimmee. We are now importing this FJ43 along with a classic Nissan Patrol. The trucks should arrive April. A $10,000 refundable deposit to Volcan 4x4, LLC will secure this truck at the agreed price. The buyer can fly to Tampa to review it. The FJ43's have enjoyed a great following on the auction circuit with prices in the $40,000 to $80,000 range. At $40,000 this truck is priced well within the market given its condition. Truck will be tagged in Florida or arrangements can be made with the Buyer's state. Remember these trucks did not have USA emissions equipment but most states have a model year waiver such as Florida does. Buyer is responsible for registering in their state. Volcan 4x4 is specializing in importing high quality, unique 4x4's to the US classic 4x4 community. Why buy an FJ40 when you can have this unique soft top FJ43 for $40,000? There are more photos on Facebook.com/volcan4x4 and youtube volcan4x4 channel. VIN will be same as the chassis number per Florida title. FJ43101104. Mileage unknown. |

Why Toyota Camry's Korea Car of the Year win is a big-time upset
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2013 Toyota Camry is officially the car of the year in Korea. The country's motoring press graced the Japanese sedan with the honor for the first time, officially marking a shift in prevailing Korean attitudes toward Japan and its products. According to industry analysts, buyers in the country are no longer simply choosing their purchases based on whether or not they're made in South Korea, but rather based on quality and personal choice. That's a big jump from a few years ago, when buyers viewed their purchases through a patriotic lens.
The Camry managed to edge out a total of 44 other cars, including hardware from both Hyundai and Kia, to become the first foreign vehicle to take home the Korea Automobile Journalist Association's Car of the Year award. As The Detroit News points out, just 10 years ago, domestic manufacturers held some 99 percent of the Korean car market. But a change in trade regulations has opened up the country considerably, and buyers now have access to a wide range of products from around the globe. As a result, Hyundai and Kia have countered by cutting prices in an attempt to keep their grip on the market.
Japanese dealer petitioning Lexus for luxury van [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Mar 2014Used to be that if you wanted a luxury automobile - especially one to be chauffeured around in - your choices were basically limited to a sedan. It could be bigger or smaller, more or less expensive, depending on your needs and budget, but it was always going to have four doors and a trunk. But these days the rich and famous are looking elsewhere for their commodious forms of pampering transportation. There are, of course, the crossovers and SUVs, which only seem to be getting bigger and more expensive thanks to the likes of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Range Rover L and upcoming Bentley sport-ute. But luxury vans are becoming the new big thing.
That's the point that one dealer in Japan is trying to make to Toyota. The dealership owner himself reasons that if he's going out on the town, he's likely to take his chauffeured Lexus LS. But if he's taking a few friends along, even the biggest sedan isn't going to cut it. So he takes a Toyota Alphard (pictured above, also known as the Vellfire), a JDM van that's even bigger than a Voxy/Noah or Sienna but hardly a high-end affair. That's why he's asking Lexus to make a luxury van.
The idea may seem a little far-fetched, but isn't without precedent. It didn't take much for Lexus to transform the Land Cruiser into the LX and thus create its first luxury SUV. And as Mercedes has shown with pimped-out versions of the Sprinter and now with the debut of the new V-Class in Geneva, there's clearly a market for it... in some countries, anyway. The only question in our minds is how long it's going to take other luxury automakers to catch on, because let's face it: the Chrysler Town & Country ain't gonna cut it for those used to be driven around in a Maybach.
Toyota launches BMW-powered Verso in Europe
Tue, 03 Dec 2013BMW makes some sweet-revving engines, but its own vehicles aren't the only ones running BMW engines. So do the latest from Rolls-Royce and Mini, of course, as well as a handful of Peugeots and Citroëns thanks to its joint engine program with PSA. Wiesmann uses BMW engines, as did the famous McLaren F1. And now we can add one more to the list.
That would be the Toyota Verso, a Corolla-based minivan which Toyota builds in Turkey and sells in Europe and a few other markets overseas. The Verso is also now officially the first beneficiary of the partnership between Toyota and BMW as the Japanese automaker has released the MPV with BMW's 1.6-liter turbodiesel four.
The 111-horsepower engine is coupled to a Toyota transmission and joins the Verso range as the fourth (and least powerful) engine in the lineup, alongside the 122hp 2.0 diesel and the gasoline options with 1.6 liters and 160 hp and 1.8 for 180. Future collaborations between the two automakers will include fuel-cell development, a new joint sportscar platform, lightweight bodywork research and a new generation of lithium-air batteries. See the press release below for further details.
