This is a 1974 FJ40 that has had the Chevy V8 conversion. The engine is a new Chevy 350 crate engine with less than 500 miles since installed. I had the turbo 400 transmission and transfer case rebuilt when they replaced the engine. This is built for a true off road vehicle, but can be driven on the road. It has a 4 inch lift and sits on 35 inch tires (that are new),It is in good shape for this year vehicle and had the typical rust in the rear quarter panels and along the back of the seats where the rear section meets the floor pan. I welded in metal along that section and put on the rear quarter panel covers over the bad spots. I did treat and paint the rust areas and they have been this way for the past 13 years I have owned and driven the vehicle. I repainted it last year, but it is just a rattle can paint job, great for off road cause you can touch up any trail rash with paint from local hardware or superstore. I have done many upgrades to the vehicle listed below. I am in the Chattanooga TN area, so you are welcome to see the cruiser if you are in the area. It has a clear TN title. I will only except cash or PayPal as payments for this vehicle. No international sales, but I can be available if someone wants to have the vehicle shipped in the US. Here is a list of what has been done to this cruiser:

New crate 350 engine with less then 500 miles

Rebuilt 400 turbo trans and transfer case

New BF Goodrich 35 inch mud terrain tires (less then 200 miles on them)

New Superwinch 9500 winch with cover

New Hella high intensity driving lights

Power steering

4 wheel disc brake conversion

4 inch lift, also less then 200 miles on it.

New swing out rear tire bumper with 2" hitch

Spare tire is match new BF Goodrich mud terrain

Has a 4 barrel Holley Truck Dominator carb

Newer battery

Aluminum radiator

New lights up front and in the rear

New hold downs for the hood and windshield

ARB rear air locker with onboard air compressor with air storage tank plumbed in.

Newer adjustable seats

Tuffy center locking console with a new Sony explode CD player with Ipod input

2 weather proof speakers

Poly gas tank

Rock lights

New weather stripping on doors

Soft top with hard doors. The soft top has a place on the roof where it rubs on the role bar that wore through. I have duct tape over it, and it is a small hole.

Full roll bar

CB radio with antenna

Custome gauges (Spedo and odometer do not work, replaced the cable but no luck, not sure of milage but guessing over 100,000)

 As I said, this is set up for off road use, but it can be driven on the road. It does not have the greatest road manners with the power steering and large tires on a 4" lift. The 4 barrel carb also likes gas and these things are not the most fuel efficient vehicles to begin wth. As you can see from the list above a large amount of money has been spent on this cruiser to set it up for a serious 4 wheeling vehicle. I moved from another state and away from my wheeling friends and have no time to take it out anymore.No reserve on this auction and I will not end it early so please do not ask.

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
