1985 Toyota Fj60 Landcruiser Land Cruiser 4x4 4 Spd Manual 2f Fj62 Fj40 on 2040-cars
Chardon, Ohio, United States

Up for auction is my 1985 Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser. Chances are if your looking at this you already know what awesome vehicles these can be. I purchased this mid summer wanting to restore it but I have since changed my mind to wanting a 80 Series Cruiser instead. This LC has had 2 previous owners and has been in Ohio its whole life. Fortunately when it was new the owner took it to Tuff-Kote Dinol and had the entire truck undercoated. This has kept the frame and undercarriage in good shape over the years. Dont get me wrong it does have rust but no bad scaling or broken frame pieces like you might expect for a Cruiser in Ohio. As you can see from pics the body has some rust and holes but nothing that couldn't be fixed. I lifted carpet and looked at usual trouble spots around wheel wells and this area is in very good shape. Inside back sill by tailgate is rust free as well.
This LC is not currently road ready. It has not run in a couple years at least. Previous owner said last time it ran was in 2008 or so. She couldnt really remember. I poured some gas down the carb a couple days ago and filled the float bowl so the sight window was full and then tonight I checked oil for any moisture and it was clean and moisture free so I put a battery in it and she fired right up. Got it to idle for a few seconds while my buddy poured gas into the carb. Motor sounded good and I think with a carb clean or possible rebuild it will be good to go. The gas tank was empty as well. I put a container of dry gas in it along with about 2 gallons of gas and the gauge went up slightly. I loosened the fuel inlet line at the carb and some gas did spray out so its getting to carb. I'd guess the float or needle is stuck from sitting. I havent dug into it any further yet. I did notice the choke cable is froze and will need replaced or lubed. It looks like all SMOG equipment is still installed too. You can tell by the shape of the interior that this LC has led a pretty easy life. All body mounting points and frame crossmembers are in good shape. Inner fenders etc etc are all solid. All windows roll down and all doors lock. The back door opens and locks as it should too. Both bumpers are in decent shape and the truck has a hitch and is wired for a plug too. When pushing in the clutch it has a good feel to it though I havent driven it yet. Looking around under the truck it appears to have newer brake lines and the fuel supply lines are in good shape as far as I can tell. I think this LC is a great candidate to save and fix the body and drive it for many years to come. The interior is in really nice shape. The carpet and seats have a few stains but with a good shampoo and vacuum they would be respectable as is. The headliners nice and tight too. All gauges appear to work and it has an aftermarket radio in it as well as an auxilary cigarette lighter outlet for a GPS or cell phone car charger. All heater functions work and the blowers work too. This LC has the rear heater in it too. All wipers work and the front washers work too. All lights and turn signals work as they should as well. This LC also has cruise control. Please checkout the pics and let me know if you have questions. I am looking to move this quickly so if you have an offer please dont be shy, worst I'll say is no. If you have an 80 series to trade let me know too. Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them. I can work with you on shipping. I have included a USHIP link in this auction so you can get an estimated cost from them if the LC needs transported. I have for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end auction for local sale. Cash upon pickup is good or wire transfer or Paypal is good too. I can take credit cards too. Clean paper in hand. **This is being relisted due to a nonpaying buyer on the last auction. If you dont intend to pay then dont bid, its really pretty simple. Pls dont waste my time and I wont waste yours** Thank You for looking and good luck!

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank
Sat, 14 Jun 2014We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.
Toyota gives up more information on Frankfurt-bound Yaris Hybrid-R concept
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Toyota has undeniably carved out a niche for itself as the industry's leader in hybrid propulsion. What started out with the original Prius in 1997 has, over the past sixteen years, ballooned to what Toyota reports as a global hybrid portfolio of 23 models. But few (if any of them) are particularly exciting.
That's where the Yaris Hybrid-R concept comes in. Set to be showcased along with the rest of Toyota's hybrid and fuel-cell lineup at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show next month, the concept starts with one of the Japanese auto giant's least exciting models and upgrades it to more enticing territory. Toyota Motorsport GmbH - the same Cologne, Germany-based division that operated the company's F1 team, currently runs its Le Mans program and gave us that bonkers 650-horsepower Lexus LS - has slotted in a version of Toyota's new 1.6-liter Global Race Engine and paired it with a couple of electric motors for hybrid propulsion and through-the-road all-wheel drive.
Like the TS030 Hybrid LMP1, the Yaris Hybrid-R concept uses a super capacitor (instead of a conventional battery) to store the regenerated brake energy and give it upwards of 400 horsepower. That's about all Toyota is revealing at this point, but this is the first time it has confirmed the project is based on a Yaris, of all things, and the confirmation comes with the solitary teaser rendering you see above. Check out the press release after the jump and watch this space for more as Frankfurt fast approaches.
