Selling a very rare, low mileage, rust free 1964 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser in excellent condition. I am losing part of my garage storage this winter and am selling off a few pieces in my classic car collection for space considerations only.

The previous owner restored this truck about 10 years ago and it has had very light use since (about 10,000 miles since the restoration). This model has the very rare bi-fold rear window hard top. Here's the history of the truck that I received from the previous owner:

It was purchased as a rust free Colorado truck in 2001. The original color was desert tan and had about 70,000 miles on the clock. The owner met another FJ collector who was about to modify his nice original 1975 FJ40 with a new Chevy crate 350 engine (a popular upgrade on FJ's), new 5 speed transmission and Recarro seats (I have trouble understanding why anyone would do this to a nice original FJ, but that's just me). So, the owner of this rig bought the entire engine, 4 speed transmission and 4-wheel drive transfer box, rear end/drive train and front seats from that 75 FJ which had only 37,000 original miles. The frame was removed and the truck was painted white and all the previous mentioned components and seats were installed. The 64's originally had a smaller engine and 3 on the tree transmission. So, this is essentially an earlier model FJ40 with a more modern and powerful running gear that now has only 47,000 miles on it. While I have no history on the carburetor- at appears fairly new. Please note that the engine info listed by ebay is incorrect- it apparently defaults and cannot be deleted.

This FJ looks great and runs great. There is no rust anywhere except for a few very small surface spots (less than the size of a penny) that I've sanded and touched up. The 10 year old paint has held up very nicely and has a nice shine. It has always been garaged since being restored. All glass is excellent, floors are solid.

I've never removed the hard top because I haven't had a place to store it. As shown in the photo's, the rear bi-fold window opens, and coupled with the front under-window vents, keeps it cool in warm weather driving. That said, I have a brand new (still in the box) bikini top that will come with the truck as well as a nice set of black soft doors. You may be able to see in one of the photo's that the hard top has a handsome custom gray felt headliner that is embroidered with "1964 Toyota Land Cruiser". It looks cool, serves as great roof insulation and quiets outside noises.

This FJ has a brand new Diehard Gold battery and installed on-board charger if you opt to store it for longer periods during the winter. I recently added a pair of roof load bars and a basket roof rack. There's an old school am-fm tape deck under the dash with great sounding rear surface mounted speakers. The Michelin tires are nearly new on 15 inch wheels. Rear mudflaps are either NOS or superb reproductions- they are nearly impossible to find. I have a reproduction of the original owners manual for the new owner.

There are a few minor needs... my turn signals and brake lights are out. Fuses look OK so it may only be a ground wire. The bi-fold window goes up and down and locks into place when up, however there is some missing hardware that would allow you to lock the window when closed.

Trades? I really need the garage space so trades don't solve my reason for selling. That said- my particular interest is classic Saab's and Volvo's so I'd listen to a partial trade if you have something of interest for a Volvo 1800, 122 or 544...or Saab 95, 96 or Sonett. I'll listen to reasonable offers and the truck is also for sale locally so the auction may be ended early. I'm happy to show the FJ by appointment. Feel free to bring along your mechanic too. This is a very rare truck and if you've been looking at old FJ's you already know how prices have been soaring over the past few years. This is a fun truck and a great investment for the right buyer.

2014 Toyota Corolla priced from $16,800*

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

We'll be publishing our First Drive of the 2014 Toyota Corolla later today, but right now, we can reveal that the eleventh-generation compact will be priced from $16,800 when it hits dealerships this fall (*not including a $810 destination charge).
Four trim levels will be offered, and that sub-$17,000 price point reflects the base L grade with a six-speed manual transmission. Adding the four-speed automatic (yep) brings that price up to $17,400, which gets you the usual features standard on this class of car, including Bluetooth connectivity, eight airbags and - a first for this price point - LED headlamps.
From there, the LE trim ($18,300) adds a backup camera, cruise control, keyless entry, Entune audio (including a 6.1-inch touchscreen) and a brand-new continuously variable transmission replacing the four-speed auto. There's even an Eco version of the LE trim that uses a different engine tune to provide fuel economy of up to 42 miles per gallon on the highway.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

Toyota Me.We concept is a multifunction Tupperware car [w/video]

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Not to be outdone by the Renault Twin'Z concept penned by Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove, Toyota has partnered up with French designer Jean-Marie Massaud to create the 2013 Toyota Me.We Concept. Unveiled at Le Rendez-vous Toyota in Paris, the Me.We Concept is an attempt to imagine a car that can be appreciated by owners across a wide variety of lifestyles while being courteous to the environment, too.
From a "Me" perspective, the concept is highly customizable with removable body panels, and even though it might look like just a small hatchback from the outside, Toyota claims it can also be used as a pickup (with an extendable rear panel), a convertible (with a neoprene roof panel) and even an off-road vehicle. As for the "We" part of the car, it's a fully electric vehicle with individual in-wheel motors and a battery pack mounted under the load floor. The concept has a weight of around 1,600 pounds kept low thanks to an aluminum chassis, but it also features renewable bamboo wood for the floor in addition to the fully recyclable polypropylene exterior body panels.
