1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 TIME CAPSULE SURVIVOR - UN-RESTORED ORIGINAL
LOW RESERVE!!! RARE RED 1977 FJ40 WITH ONLY 44,436 ORIGINAL MILES! This FJ40 will be sold by auction end. Please call with serious inquiries. In person inspections are welcomed and recommended. Please Call or Text Bill at 305-283-8602 with any questions.
This FJ40 lived in Georgia from 1977 until 2007, than taken to rural Florida where it was housed in a climate controlled garage and barely driven. It was purchased from the original owner in Georgia on 4/16/2004 and than moved to Florida in 2007 where is was kept in the garage. The effective age of this vehicle should be considered as about 5-6 years old and is in the condition you would expect for a SUV/4 X 4 TRUCK with regular use at that age. Most services were completed by the owner, however receipts of maintenance indicate that at 39,984 miles (on 04/22/2004) the transmission and transfer case were serviced with new bearings and seals and the clutch and the engine rear main seal were replaced. At 40,083 miles (on 05/05/2004) It received normal services and a new set of tires. These tires are what you see in the photos, they are still on the truck today. The tires are in great shape and still roll and look great with no signs of wear or age. Since May of 2004 the truck was mostly kept in storage, only being driven occasionally taking it to it's current mileage of 44,436. And the trip from Georgia was about 800+ of the 4K driven in the past 9 years. When taking it out of storage this last year it was determined that the original carburetor required a rebuild, however due to the lack of time a Brand New Weber Carburetor was installed (it works great but is a bit noisier than the stock unit). The original carburetor and air cleaner is being sold with the vehicle. We also have four of the original wheels. This is an Incredibly solid truck, complete with a clean Florida title! This FJ40 is extremely solid and remarkably straight! Besides a couple of tiny spots, this truck has NO current major rust, and ABSOLUTELY NO areas of what would be considered "normal" for its age!!! None in the fenders, floor, roof, cowl, or ANYWHERE of significance! There have never been any rust repairs done in the past and the body is 100% steel with no filler or bondo. We considered doing some repairs on the minor dents here and there and the tiny rust spots we found, but thought an un-restored original where you could see exactly what you were getting would be more valuable. The only aftermarket upgrade is the modern stereo/cd player. The original radio is still in place with the newer sound system hidden in the glove box. This is one of the most solid late model ORIGINAL FJ40's that I've seen since I worked at a Toyota Dealer in the 80's! As you can see from the pictures, the paint is in good condition, reflects great, is very shiny and beads up like new in the rain. When you drive this truck around people cannot help but stare and point, it looks like it is 1980 again and you just came through a time portal. Not an over restored show truck that anyone with a thick wallet can get, but an authentic truck that looks like it is supposed to, tough and ready to hit the trail! The truck is located in Jensen Beach Florida, a sleepy little fishing town on the East Coast of Florida, just a mile away from the City of Stuart, "The Sailfish Capital of The World!" So the winning bidder can fly into West Palm Beach International Airport (about 30 minutes south), spend some time in Florida doing some awesome charter fishing, and than drive your FJ home anywhere you need to go. (No problem getting through the snow if you need to travel north). If you prefer to have it shipped, I am happy to help meet with the shipping company and help load the truck up. This FJ40 starts on the first crank, runs well, shifts great, goes down the road straight,
all lights and gauges work inside and out!
This FJ has had never had loads work done to it: this is what you get when you maintain and store something for years without thrashing it or beating it up. Unlike the majority of other FJ's out there, it is still 99% Toyota and not a hodge podge of aftermarket parts cobbled together. This is the rare original Freeborn Red that everyone likes, This FJ40 has the complete original drive train, jump seats, roll bar, dash, glass etc. Like all of the FJ's the front seat upholstery was not so tough, so the seat portion shows wear on the drivers side, and the stitches came loose on the passenger side. Again we considered repairing this before selling, but felt an unmolested original had a broader appeal, plus seat repairs are simple and quick anywhere you go. The headliner is still original and in great shape. The
engine is the original 2F that fires up first turn of the key. Please call or text Bill at 305-283-8602 with any questions! More pictures available upon request! Included with the truck is also a bikini top and tailgate kit, the original wheels, the original carburetor and air cleaner and some service documentation verifying the mileage history. I had my son make a quick video of me driving it a bit and posted it on YouTube: |

Editors' Picks May 2021 | BMW M3, Toyota Camry and some hot Golfs
Thu, Jun 3 2021We awarded Editors’ Picks status to a number of performance cars this month, but a couple more regular sedans won out, too. April saw us recognize four models, but that increases to six for May. As the weather warms up here in Michigan, we tend to get into the sports cars that we missed driving all winter, resulting in a sports car-heavy month of testing. That explains why the list this month is so heavy on sports cars and hot hatches. In case you missed our previous couple Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Toyota Camry 2021 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid View 22 Photos Quick take: The Toyota Camry retains its place as one of the best midsize sedans you can buy. It comes in a variety of trims and powertrains, from the potent TRD model to the fuel-sipping hybrid. It's an attractive, functional and well-rounded car offering value and function. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Nissan Altima, Mazda6, Subaru Legacy, VW Passat, Chevy Malibu Pros: Highly versatile, efficient hybrid, fun-to-drive sport models Cons: Average infotainment, polarizing exterior, slow base four-cylinder From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The Camry is one of the standard bearers in the midsize segment. With many companies abandoning this area, the ones that remain — like Toyota — do it well. Long a bastion of boring design and sleepy driving dynamics, the Camry is now legitimately attractive and offers a range of powertrains. It's a solid entry and along with the Honda Accord, makes the case for midsize sedans to exist." In-depth analysis: 2021 Toyota Camry Review | What's new, pictures, hybrid and AWD fuel economy  2022 Volkswagen GTI The new Volkswagen Golf GTI View 23 Photos Quick take: With engaging dynamics and distinctive styling, the GTI remains the standard for enthusiast hatches.
Toyota, Mazda get an Alabama welcome for $1.6 billion plant
Wed, Jan 10 2018MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Toyota and Mazda confirmed Wednesday they will build a $1.6 billion joint venture assembly plant in Alabama that will employ up to 4,000 workers, a boost for President Donald Trump who wants automakers to expand U.S. production. Toyota President Akio Toyoda and Mazda President and Chief Executive Officer Masamichi Kogai joined Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey in Montgomery at an event to confirm the decision. "Welcome to sweet home Alabama," Ivey said to the two executives, after saying that the anticipated 4,000 workers at the plant to be built in Huntsville would earn an average of $50,000 a year. The plant will produce 300,000 vehicles a year and should open on a 2,500-acre former cotton field in 2021, about 14 miles from Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville. Toyota plans to build Corolla cars at the plant, while Mazda will build crossover SUVs. "Together, I am confident we will create yet another 'Built in America' success story," Toyoda said. Alabama will provide tax incentives. Officials said the state tax incentives were worth $370 million, but they did not disclose how much the local incentives were worth. Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said the plant will "provide jobs for decades to come for Huntsville and Alabama. It vaults Alabama to the top as an industry leader in producing the next generation of cars that will power our nation." Among U.S. states, Alabama is already the fifth largest producer of cars and light trucks. The state has more than 150 major auto suppliers and 57,000 automotive manufacturing jobs. Two decades ago, Alabama spent an estimated $250 million to woo Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz to put an auto plant in Tuscaloosa, sparking the birth of auto production in the state. In September, Daimler said it would invest $1 billion to expand its Alabama Mercedes-Benz plant to start building electric sport-utility vehicles there from about 2020. Alabama is also home to assembly plants operated by Honda and Hyundai. A Kia assembly plant operates near the Alabama border in Georgia. Mazda and Toyota said they still need approvals and authorization by antitrust agencies for the new joint venture. They announced a capital alliance in August and plans to jointly develop technology for electric vehicles. Trump tweeted in March he wanted "new plants to be built here for cars sold here." Many automakers have announced expansions of facilities or new jobs but no other new U.S. auto plants have been announced. U.S.
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.
