Toyota Land
Cruiser restoration shop offers this 1974 FJ40. This is a mostly original paint
stock FJ40. I bought this from the original owner’s widow in the rural
mountains of Idaho. The truck had been sitting for 14 years; the owner’s son
did the proper storage by draining all the fluids at that time. I brought this
truck back to life. It spent 11 weeks in my shop going through everything. I
kept it as stock as possible, just adding a newer style FJ40 electronic
ignition system. If you are looking for an honest clean stock uncut original
paint FJ40 and don’t want to spend huge dollars for a perfect restored unit,
this is for you. I used Toyota original parts in what I call a preservation
restoration. This truck is turn-key, daily driving ready. 1974 model year are emissions
exempt in most states including California. This is an investment grade
original truck.
NO RESERVE AUCTION BID TO BUY!!! I have 3 other FJ40’s for sale on eBay right now. Copy and paste or click the link below for pictures of this FJ40. Check out my other builds stock to wild in the library on that link. http://s953.photobucket.com/user/fj40man79/library/1974%20Green%20Kamiah HISTORY I was buying a 78 FJ40 in Idaho when I got a random call from an 89 year old lady asking me if I’m that guy buying Land Cruisers. She lives off the grid and came down to the nearest city of Kamiah Idaho to call me from a payphone (ever see payphones anymore?) She had so much spunk it was funny, she tells me about this FJ40 her deceased husband bought brand new, then is quick to tell me she knows they are worth good money so don’t F*** with her in those exact words. So, I drive to her home, up a 35% incline switch back gravel road with my 40ft gooseneck, ruining 2 tires around 7 miles in the back country. Could not back my trailer out so here we go. Found it, bought it, great lady, pics on the link and last pic is how I bought it at her home. I winched it on my trailer, I was so happy to find this FJ40, never know what to expect with no pictures and a very vague description in the middle of nowhere. Her husband loved this truck and it shows, it was parked in the same spot for 14 years before I got to it. She was so happy with the cash I paid her, she was going to town to get her girlfriend and head to the bingo parlor. I love this part of my job, pleasure to meet great people. MECHANICAL I went through the proper procedure bringing a vehicle back to life after sitting for years. Oiled down the cylinders, let it sit for a few days, rolled it over by hand, rebuilt the original carburetor, removed/sealed gas tank, added a new radiator, and added newer FJ40 electronic distributor and ignition. Fired right up, sounded great. Compression excellent, valves adjusted, runs like a Swiss watch. 4 speed Trans/case operate perfectly. We pulled out all the wheel cylinders/brakes/brake master, replaced all of it. New joints and boots. We rebuilt the front and rear end with all Toyota parts (bearings, seals etc), changed all the fluids. We rewired most of the truck. We spent a lot of time getting this vehicle to a good running/driving state. Brand new complete exhaust system. I added any missing parts from my extensive FJ40 parts collection. We rebuilt anything that needed attention. BODY I recovered the original Toyota front seats. I added new Toyota wheel caps to stock wheels and excellent tread 31.10.50.15 siped mud tires. This is a radio delete model and has the original stereo hole cover. I installed a new windshield and gasket. The exterior body is original paint. I sanded the inside of the tub, sealed/primed/painted as it had surface rust. We distressed the new paint inside the tub to give it that original patina look to match the rest of the vehicle. We buffed out the original paint. Preserving the patina look takes about the same amount of time as a new paint job, could not bring myself to repaint this one, only original once. The underside of the body is undercoated with a thin product that seals very well. We media blasted the wheels/bumper/bumperettes and a few internal body pieces before priming and painting. The body is all original to this truck. I left the sticker on the driver door, if you do not like it, I will take it off and buff it out to match the rest of the paint. The factory dimple spot welds are all evident, you know what you have body wise with original paint/body. Finding stock type FJ40’s is getting extremely hard. The prices on all FJ40’s have gone nuts in the past few years, with the stock types leading the charge. Original paint uncut not rusty FJ40’s in a realistic price range are the easiest vintage vehicle to sell. Projections from everyone in the car world say the values will continue to rise. I scour all types of classifieds, pass out cards in every rural town I’m in, my point is the only luck I have these days are buying from people off the grid whom have owned these for many years. Otherwise they are usually beat up or chopped up being through several owners. People that own good FJ40’s tend to keep them, getting very hard to buy them. This is your chance to own a clean FJ40 that has never been offered on the public market since 1974. I require a $1500 non-refundable deposit immediately after auction conclusion. The rest wire transfer or cashier’s check within 5 days closed auction. I hold a clear clean WA state title in hand for this truck. I welcome 3rd party inspections during the auction, winning is not 1st chance to look. I own Auto Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections so skip me in the phone book. I have a shipping broker whom I trust, will pass his info to you, he only does lower 48, I can get this to Alaska Hawaii or other countries as well. Payment will be made to my business.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
Mon, 21 Oct 2013People, us included, make a big stink about the importance of family sedans. There's no doubt they're critical - they represent a huge slice of the market's annual sales and profits. However, despite accounting for far fewer transactions than the midsize sedan segment, the fullsize sedan is getting attention from manufacturers now that our market's entire lineup of those (slightly) smaller four-doors has turned over in the last two years or so. As most of the fullsize segment's mainstays derive a fair bit of their platform and powertrain technologies from their midsize cousins, these larger four-doors offer the potential for fatter profit margins, too. And with the newly stylish duds found on many of the industry's most successful midsize sedans, it's only right that automakers no longer think about fullsizers as big, squishy, vanilla family haulers with flat seats, vague steering and a thin layer of 'luxury' in the form of faux wood trim.
As manufacturers have again started diving into large sedans feet-first, the cars themselves have become sharper. The interiors are now of a higher quality and loaded with tech, while the exteriors have become further extensions of each manufacturer's design language. There's perhaps no greater example of this than the Chevrolet Impala and Ford Taurus, two models that evolved from subpar offerings into market leaders. This segment-wide transformation happened quite quickly, whether because of coincidental timing or because manufacturers are trying to get more out of their big cars, recognizing they account for a small portion of overall sales (just 3.5 percent of the new-car market in the first half of 2013).
The 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is one such vehicle. We remarked on the changes to the V6 variant last year, and while we previously had a quick steer of the gas-electric hybrid, we figured the new model was worth a closer week-long look.
BMW-Toyota joint sports car project is on like Donkey Kong
Mon, 30 Dec 2013It's official - there will be a jointly developed sports car from BMW and Toyota. While the two auto giants signed a Memorandum of Understanding that pledged to pursue "joint development of architecture and components for a future sports vehicle" back in June of 2012, in the interim, it has remained unclear how those plans had been progressing. BMW has finally officially confirmed that the German and Japanese manufacturers will be codeveloping a pair of sports cars in addition to pursuing other disciplines including fuel cell systems and lightweight technologies.
"We have agreed on a joint architecture for a sports car. What is important is that there will be two different vehicles that are authentic to the two brands," BMW Development Chief Herbert Diess told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Reuters is reporting. This is a very, very big step for both brands, but now the speculation can officially begin as to what the products of this agreement will look like.
There's ample reason to believe that the BMW-Toyota tie up will result in a Supra successor based on comments made by the chief engineer of the GT86/FR-S program, Tatsuya Tada, back in August. Follow that with a rumor from earlier this month that Toyota could debut a Supra concept car at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show later this month, and we could be seeing the fruits of this partnership sooner rather than later.
