Hi. Thank you for looking at my auction.  I'm selling this beautifully restored 1978 fj40 for a lady friend of mine.
It has been a southern vehicle all its life.  It has a stock rebuilt 2F motor, roughly 4,000 miles ago.  This is a frame
off stainless nut and bolt restoration.  It also has been rhino lined inside and underneath. It is always garaged, never off road, and never in the rain.  This fj was taken to local car show events and driven locally in town.  This restoration took place about five years ago.  Here is a list of the upgrades.

  • 4 Wheel disc brakes and calipers with an added proportioning valve.
  • Stainless steel brake lines on rear.
  • GM power brake booster.
  • Power steering
  • Brand new suspension with shocks and greaseable shackles that were purchased at TPI (4 inch).
  • 1982 fj40 rims with bfgoodrich all terrain KO's. 33x10.50, with less than 4,000miles.
  • Professionally installed Sony digital media player with Blue Tooth that is hooked up with JBL speakers front and rear that is ready for your iphone or droid. (high quality sound).
  • Best Top bikini top.
  • Porcelain header.
  • New complete exhaust.
  • Electronic ignition.
  • Rear lamp guards.
  • New OEM sun visors.
  • New stainless steel mirrors.
  • All new OEM emblems.
  • Rear seat is covered in black leather.
  • Superwinch lockout hubs.
  • Optima red top battery.
This fj40 was done in base coat, clear coat Sherwin Williams paint. It shifts like new, drives straight and turns easily with a finger.  This vehicle does not have a hardtop or doors. I found several that I could have bought but never took the time to go and look at what was available. I did notice when this vehicle sits for a period of time, it has a slight wheel seal leak and light radiator leak which can easily be fixed. To fully appreciate the quality of the build, one should see this fj40 in person.  It looks mint and is always highly complimented. I would prefer the new owner to view this vehicle in person before payment if possible.  I require a $500. non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of closed auction.  The remainder is bank to bank wire transfer(must clear first) within 7 days of the closed auction.  After the deposit is made, you can surely look and inspect the vehicle in person before you pay the remainder.  I welcome any third party inspection during the auction, done in my shop under my supervision over a pit in my well lit garage.  Serious inquiries only. The fj40 is sold as is. No warranty. I will not ship the Toyota but will assist in arranging same.  If you have less than 10 feedbacks please contact me before bidding. Thank you for looking at my fj40 and good luck bidding.

Toyota CamRally is vanilla spiced

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

We weren't quite sure it was possible, but NASCAR driver Parker Kligerman and the other folks behind this Toyota Dream Build Challenge vehicle (check out the other cars in the challenge) have made the Camry, a versatile but vanilla family sedan, into a performance car to be reckoned with. And by stripping it (literally) of its versatility and injecting some spice into it, this rally-spec Camry does indeed appeal to the enthusiast crowd.
The appeal starts with the CamRally's vintage Toyota racing colors of red, orange and yellow painted on a widened body. Those wide fender flares and rocker panels, paired with the revised front and rear fascias (and massive rear spoiler), lend the car an aggressive look without being tacky, and enhance the aerodynamics. But peel back the skin and you'll find plenty of performance upgrades to back up the looks.
While Toyota doesn't say how much horsepower it makes, the CamRally's V6 is turbocharged, and we assume the car's brake upgrade is indicative of the engine's increased output. The stripped interior only contains what's needed for rally racing, including bucket seats, a motorsport steering wheel covered in Alcantara, a carbon-fiber dashboard and a roll cage.

Toyota reveals Tokyo Motor Show concepts

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Toyota is getting ready for the Tokyo Motor Show later this month, and to tease us, the Japanese automaker has released photos and information about the concept vehicles it'll be bringing to the show. In all, there'll be five world premieres from Toyota (six if you split the Voxy and Noah minivan concepts), including some vehicles that'll be released in the near future, and others that need more time to incubate.
Let's get the world premieres out first. Toyota is a pioneer of gasoline-electric hybrids, but it's also pursuing hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles. The clearest indication of this is the FCV concept, a hydrogen-powered sedan in the same vein as the the FCV-R that will bow at the auto show. (Read more about the FCV, here.)
Other world debuts include the FV2 concept (pictured), a unique, one-seat future vehicle that emphasizes the "Fun to Drive" philosophy; the JPN TAXI concept, a next-generation taxi concept designed with Japanese hospitality in mind; and the Voxy and Noah concepts, next-generation minivans that differ most in exterior design cues and are scheduled to launch in the Japanese market in early 2014.

2014 Toyota Highlander to start at $30,075*

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We now have pricing for Toyota's redesigned 2014 Highlander, which is seeing moderate price hikes across the board. Prices for the popular crossover have been bumped from less than 1 percent to less than 3 percent on lower-end models (anywhere from $125 to $890, depending on trim). Toyota has increased prices on higher-end XLE and Limited models more substantially - between 4.1 and 4.5 percent ($1,480 to $1,700). The Highlander Hybrid sees its price increase 2 percent ($930). The new model will be available in four different trims and with either front or all-wheel drive.
The absolute cheapest member of the Highlander range, the base LE, with a four-cylinder and front-wheel drive starts at $30,075, an increase of just $195. The LE is also available with a V6 and all-wheel drive, with the bigger engine upping the price to $31,380. All-wheel drive models start at $32,840. A slightly pricier LE Plus starts at $33,600 for a V6 FWD model and $35,060 if you add all-wheel drive.
Next up, we have the XLE, which starts at $36,900 for FWD models and moves up to $38,360 for AWD. The top-tier Limited model starts at $40,500 in FWD spec, grips-at-all-fours versions will retail for $41,960. For those that want the very top of the Highlander range, there's the Platinum Pack, which adds the Driver's Tech Pack (adaptive cruise control, pre-collision warning, lane departure warning and automatic high beams), a panoramic moonroof, heated steering wheel and heated second-row seats to the already well-equipped Limited model. Highlander Platinums start at $42,990 and $44,450, depending on how many tires are doing the work. (Note: All prices include an $860 destination and handling charge.)
