1976 Toyota Land Cruiser Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Dunn, North Carolina, United States
This Landcruiser FJ-40 is a 1976. We purchased it 2000 at an auction and it was in terrible condition. We fixed it and rebuilt the entire thing and it was the vehicle I drove through out the four years of high school. It was the last year that still carried the round grill around the headlights. It also featured the ambulance doors and dual kick vents on both Driver and Passenger sides. I have the fold up frames for the back seats but never got them upholstered. All the windows are original and it has the original 2F straight six engine. The engine was rebuilt and bored 30 over to ensure there was no damage to the cylinder casings. This vehicle also has the original 4 speed plus reverse on the floor manual transmission and transfer case. The aftermarket waterproof carpeting has been installed as well and the headliner has been reupholstered. The mileage on the dash displays 73984, however the engine has less than 25,000 miles since rebuilt and there is no telling how many times that display has reset through out the history of the vehicle. We recently cranked the vehicle with a temporary external gas tank and it runs like new. We even drove it around and everything checks out. If you need more information, I can be reached at (nine one zero) nine eight seven - six seven four nine or at skinnyfigs4@gmail.com

Toyota recounts past Supra glories
Mon, 29 Jul 2013It could just be a slow start to the news week around the Toyota offices, but its UK blog has posted a brief history on its legendary Supra sports car. Read into however you'd like, but there has been plenty of speculation as to the return of the Supra nameplate in recent years (including last month from incoming Toyota chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada).
Built from April 1978 through July 2002, Toyota's sports coupe made quite a name for itself as both the Celica Supra (shown above) and the Supra, and the blog post charts many of the changes and highlights through the years. Head on over to the Toyota UK blog to read more about this Supra's history, and then be sure to check out the gallery of images from Toyota spanning all four generations.
Toyota Camry Dragster takes the phrase 'sleeper' to its logical extreme [w/video]
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Sometimes, looks can be deceiving. This is certainly one of those times, as Toyota successfully trolled the entirety of the media corps at the 2014 SEMA Show by rolling an innocent-looking Camry onto the floor... only to lift literally the entirety of its body to reveal an 850-horsepower, tube-framed dragster. Well, we have been asking for a more driver-oriented Toyota.
While it's designed to go fast in a straight line, the origin of the Camry Dragster's parts might be surprising. The 5.7-liter V8 engine, transmission, rear axle and electronics were plucked from the Toyota Tundra pickup. Toyota Racing Development donated a supercharger, while a wet-nitrous-injection system was also tacked on for that little extra something. Those goodies will help propel this anonymous looking monster through the quarter mile in just 9.8 seconds.
"This is the most extreme build we've ever unveiled at SEMA," said Toyota's motorsports chief Steve Appelbaum said in a statement. "The transformation from seemingly stock Camry to full-blown racecar just shocks the senses. Chuck Wade and the team at Motorsports Technical Center did a truly spectacular job executing the vision of this project."
2015 Toyota Camry targeting 'more emotional' design
Sun, 19 Jan 2014There are many ways to describe the Toyota Camry: "comfortable," "economical," "affordable," "reliable" and "dull as a bucket of mayonnaise" would all be accurate. It's this last one that the Japanese brand is seeking to change. While we aren't expecting it to suddenly sprout a high-revving V8, a rear-drive layout or razor-sharp handling, a report from Bloomberg suggests we should at least expect a more evocative design from one of the best-selling cars in the country.
The next Camry update, due for 2015, should have a "more emotional, more impactful design," says Kevin Hunter, head of Toyota's US design studio. That's according to Bloomberg, who caught up with the styling boss at this week's Detroit Auto Show. "Camry's taken some hits on styling, but it's still selling well. But we need to create better design for Camry in the future."
