Rare Left Hand Drive 1984 FJ45 Troop Carrier

Please note that the VIN # in the description above is not for this car. EBAY's system was not recognizing the actual VIN. See picture of the vehicle's title with VIN #. 

This Left Hand Drive Troopy is registered in Virginia. I bought the truck almost ten years ago and have been working on it off and on since. The tub has had all bad metal cut out and replaced. The wheel wells, in order to make more space in the back for forward seating, were shortened on the inside of the vehicle and original Toyota wheel well panels were put back in. The inside of the tub is fully line-xed as well as the underside and firewall.

 

It is painted in an original Toyota color from the 1960s called Horizon Blue. The color code is T808. Of course, the new owner can change the color. Due to being in storage over the last year, the paint has several scratches. I have some of the paint left, but it can be ordered at any auto paint supply store.

 

I have gathered extensive parts for the rebuild of this vehicle. I have all window seals, all glass, and window hardware. The front and back doors have all new mechanicals and regulators. I have a 1984 Head Rest Roll bar.

 

Also, the vehicle has installed a brand new, never used, Toyota OEM speedometer and an original never used 1984 FJ40 Steering Wheel. Both items were secured in the Middle East from a dealership that was selling off its old Toyota parts. I also have a rare front 2/3 OEM Split Bench which will need to be upholstered.

 

New Fenders as well. The Fiberglass Top is in good shape, but it not perfect. New owner may want to replace outside metal ring if you want perfect, but otherwise it is usable right away.

 

Frame has been worked on and gusset and a couple of mounts replaced. It is in great shape.

 

Please note, I have no mechanicals, that part you will have to source yourself.

The vehicle is not perfect, and I would not say it is “showroom.” But it is solid and is ready for someone else to take over, I have too may other projects and not enough time to finish this out.

  

There are other parts as well, and please call if you have any questions. 757-375-5890. Thanks.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.

Raising A White Flag To The Competition
We all benefit from highly competitive battles. In the automotive sector, few campaigns are so closely fought as the decades-long struggle for supremacy in the fullsize half-ton pickup truck segment. The Ford F-150 has dominated for ages, but Chevrolet, Ram and GMC have been closing the gap with freshly redesigned trucks that are rocking the industry.
Today's half-ton trucks are better than they've ever been, and we have fierce competition to thank for that.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
