Body Type:Sport Utility
Vehicle Title:Clear
Model: Land Cruiser
Year: 1976
Mileage: 55,000
Trim: Base Sport Utility 2-Door
Number of Cylinders: 6
Drive Type: 4WD
Transmission: Manual-4 speed Condition: Excellent Exterior: Black Jade Metallic Interior: Cream This iconic Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser was purchased in Moscow Idaho in July 1976 for $6,425, and remained in the same ownership for the next 28 years. The second owner undertook a total frame off restoration, including a complete sanding and repainting of the frame, body, roof, original factory wheels (to match the roof and interior color), new leather interior, “BDS Lift Kit,” all-terrain “Big O A / T Big Foot” tires and “Pacer” polished alloy wheels (the original wheels and tires come with the Cruiser too), wiring harness, servicing of the original factory winch (driven directly from the transfer case, known as a powered take off “P.T.O.” as it is powered from by the engine). The “safari roof rack” was also added as hardtop enhancement furthering the roughed off-road look of the Cruiser. A deep black metallic jade was chosen for the exterior and interior metal and light cream for the removable hardtop, factory wheels and leather seats, resulting in refined overall look and feel to the Cruiser. With the odometer showing approximately 49,000 miles and the engine running strong and without issues, its condition only required a cleaning with a change of plugs, filters and oil. It retains the original 4.2 Liter Inline 6 Cylinder 258 cubic inch displacement gasoline engine, with a 2-barrel carburetor and 4-speed manual transmission. The engine starts immediately and runs well, and has excellent power and torque. The 4-speed transmission and terrain selector (which adjusts the drivetrain from two to four wheel drive) shift with authority. Having been more interested in the restoration project then using of the vehicle, it remained a part of the second owner’s car collection in Bozeman Montana, seeing limited use, for two years. The third owner purchased the Cruiser while on vacation at Big Sky, Montana and immediately drove it 1,500 miles across the country to his home in northern Michigan. It made the trip flawlessly and continues to remain as mechanically sound as the day it first rolled of the lot in Moscow, Idaho back in July 1976. At some point after June of 2004 and before June of 2006 the odometer was ceased working and was replaced by the third owner. The odometer currently shows approximately 38,000 miles. So we know the odometer is no longer accurate, our belief is the actual mileage is approximately 55,000 miles, but we cannot confirm this. What really sets this vehicle apart is the exceptional attention to detail. Almost all of the original hardware, such as the bolts, nuts, hose clamps, hard lines, and brackets have been maintained (it is only missing the original am/fm radio). The electrical and mechanical items are in perfect working order, 100% rust-free with beautiful seams, gaps and joints. No leaks, no rust and no issues. As the fourth owner we have enjoyed driving the Cruiser this past summer and found it to be trouble free, extraordinarily reliable and the topic of attention wherever we have taken it. Kids in college require its sale so we are looking for a good home to continue the care and enjoyment of the Cruiser. The original paperwork includes: Toyota owner’s manual, factory window sticker, dealer’s price label, EPA fuel estimate, dealer statement of odometer mileage, dealer bill of sale, first owner’s financing/security agreement. Miscellaneous records and invoices from service and restoration also included. Original Toyota issued “patinated” tool kit and wheel-changing tools are also included. In addition, the hard top can be removed and would be perfect for those “bikini top” days in the warmer months. This is a beautiful, investment-grade time capsule in excellent condition. The photos speak for themselves! Original FJ's of this caliber are pretty much non-existent, they're only original once, here's your opportunity... Fly in and drive home (buyer is responsible for Cruiser delivery). |

Audi, Toyota land on MIT's list of 50 Most Disruptive Companies
Sat, 23 Feb 2013MIT Technology Review, a magazine all about innovation, has announced its list of the 50 most disruptive companies in 2013, and both Audi and Toyota made the cut. While the term "most disruptive" may carry a negative connotation in most uses (especially in the classroom), the acknowledgement in this case is an accolade, signifying that the company is at the forefront of its industry. In a nutshell, a disruptive company is a business whose innovations force other businesses to alter their strategic direction.
Audi made the list for "pushing autonomous cars closer to fruition with a laser-scanning road detector that fits in a vehicle's front grille," and Toyota for "expanding its dominance of the hybrid-car market with its new plug-in version of the Prius." Click on the image above to be taken to the original graphic at MIT Technology Review, where clickable colored squares reveal information about each of the 50 winners, compiled from a variety of industries.
Toyota announces Geneva plans including droptop FT-86 Open concept
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Automakers from around the globe are gearing up for the Geneva Motor Show next month, and Toyota is giving us a couple teasers of what will be in its display. In addition to what appears to be a single-seat concept called the i-Road (shown at right), Toyota will also give us our first look at a droptop Scion FR-S courtesy of the FT-86 Open Concept.
All we have to go on right now is this sketch shown above, but we do see that this car will retain its rear seats, which could be a potential advantage over one of its key rivals, the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Toyota says that this concept will be used to gauge public interest in such a convertible, but we've already heard that a Scion convertible is already planned to go on sale as soon as early next year. As far as Toyota's other concept, there also isn't much information about the i-Road except that it will be a zero-emissions vehicle and it will have seating for two passengers, which based on the drawing will have the driver sitting in front of the passenger.
Toyota will also show off the European version of the new RAV4 as well as its new Auris Touring Sports, which it refers to as a "medium-size estate." Scroll down for Toyota's tease of a press release.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
