We understand everybody has a budget but our saying is, you can be picky, or you can be cheap, but you cannot be both when it comes to vehicles. Currently located in southern Kansas City, Missouri 64012. Purchased from Clovis, California earlier this year. Still on California title, last title issued was in 2006. Previous owner was meticulous. Vehicle came with several spare parts, with 2 and 3 of a lot of items. Everything was in working order. Vehicle had original paint job, but was faded & older, but an excellent driver. Interior- It is still the same as when we got it and in extremely good shape. The inside of the tub is super clean, almost a time capsule inside. He did add a few toggle switches which work the interior dome lights and exterior led's he added. All 4 new seat covers & foam. New seat cover covers in camo to protect new seat covers. Includes matching camo shifter cover which may make the deal for you. Aftermarket Radio. New Dash Pad Factory roll bar. PO did add gun rack mounts and aluminum interior roof rack which holds included CB Radio which is all easily removable if desired. Exterior/Body It did have a few dings which we repaired and NO rust found just as PO owner stated. Very Rare on an FJ40. It looked like maybe somebody use to sit on top of the front fenders or use them as steps to service engine maybe, as that's where most of the dings were. Removed all parts possible for best possible quality of paint job. Doors, Windows, Lights, Mirrors, moldings, antenna, roof, all glass, ect, it came off to be painted in pieces or to gain access to paint properly. Came with new tail light lenses, front turn signals, hood latches, interior door handles, rear flare gaskets, cowl vent gaskets and several other little items. Most were decent & usable but just faded, or weather checked from age and sun. Old plastics don't age very well, things like the interior door handle bezels were starting to turn white, get brittle and crack. We removed the old pieces and used the new or best parts included. New or excellent condition front door panels. No patches in the floor. It appears original and very nice condition. It was under coated at one point, not sure if it was factory or somebody else did it way back. Most of it is still there but old, brittle & dry. Comes off easy. We would have under coated it and still can, but wanted to show what is really there instead of what could have been hidden with fresh under coat. Sprayed with high end DuPont Water Based Paint, Spies Hecker Clear, Spies Hecker Primer. We considered going with an original style enamel paint but it won't weather as well as a base coat with a polyurethane clear. Plus less maintenance so it seemed like a win/win. Painted everything that's Dune Beige on the outside, inside of all 4 doors, inside and out of lower metal roof with side windows, and stripped & refinished white fiberglass roof. Top still has original looking headliner in it, older but pretty good condition considering. Grill and a few other small pieces were painted black. Frame, bumpers & suspension was already freshly painted. White roof does looks a little weird in photo, it's wet from car wash. Glass is all good to very good condition. Windshield is brand new, I broke the old one taking it out, had a nasty chip that split. Comes with a soft top, never been put on. Comes with soft or half doors. You will see some body filler in photos. We metal finish every ding, dent and so on, but often skim coat each blemish to ensure no minor imperfections seen after refinished. 90% of what you see was sanded off before reprime. If it makes you feel better, shop customers receive a lifetime warranty on repairs and workmanship. Suspension- Previous Owner has been through the suspension and axles. Again, everything looks amazing, brand new, freshly painted axles housings, frame, steer components, you name it. New shackles, hardware, shocks and so on. In photos you can see they are nice but have some gray & white polishing compound which got wet and ran out of cracks & crevices, making it looks a little dirty. Photos don't it justice. Tires & Wheels- New Tires, 31x10.5x15 Cooper S/T's, Wheels look new, may have receipt, very new chrome condition. Drive Train- All Matching #'s Engine and T-Case both recently rebuild by previous owner, documentation included. Transmission shifts great, engine & compartment, accessories & wiring look brand new. New Smog Pump and emissions test passed in CA New Radiator New Battery New Exhaust System and more I'm sure Winch, if I remember correctly, it's a Chicago brand. We didn't have to purchase much to complete it, this is what we did get: New Sylvania H4 sealed beam head lights. New Front & Rear door weather strips New Land Cruiser Emblems for fenders Known Issues: Window rubber seals are older, maybe original but it good shape still. Not splitting or dry rotting. Good enough we could pop them out and reuse after paint. Nice in Appearance.(Not really an issue, just saying). Door windows roll down a little tough. I'm not sure if it needs new felt window guides or if they have been replaced and are still really tight, leaning towards originals. May have dry gears in regulator and just need lube. Haven't diagnosed yet. Does come with an extra window regulator or two, used condition. Reused weather strip between tub & hard top due to spare of the moment ordeal, would have rather replaced it. The left rear wheel flare does have a crack/tear in it,it's an inch or two long. Don't think it shows in any of the photos. Not sure how it got overlooked before paint. I'm sure if it's a deal breaker, we can work something out. Get it repaired or track down a new one. May get it remedied in the mean time. Wow, that was a more than intended but I'm trying to be thorough, and I'm sure I forgot something. I invite anyone seriously interested to come see the vehicle in person. You will appreciate it more, the pictures don't quite do it justice. 816-835-0423 or email mikesab@sbcglobal.net Photos: http://s1300.photobucket.com/user/mi...asj/slideshow/ Here's some photos above at Photobucket, Lot of cruiser pics. A couple of my 64 Impala to show some of our projects, she is also for sale, wrapping up some small last minute items currently. Also a couple random pic of my carbon fiber Porsche 993. In the slide show, there is a photo where you can see the windshield and wiper motor, cowl area. There is a black spot in the middle of the painted wiper motor, It is a Bug, not a paint chip. Doesn't have 50 miles on it since refinished. |

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
Land Rover, Toyota big winners in ALG top resale value awards
Tue, 18 Nov 2014
"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique
Toyota and Land Rover took home the top brand honors in ALG's 2015 Residual Value Awards, which will be presented this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Subaru to stop building Camry for Toyota in the US
Fri, 09 May 2014It was back in 2007 that Subaru of Indiana Automotive, under contract from Subaru minority shareholder Toyota, built the first Toyota Camry at its plant in Lafayette, Indiana. Rumblings of the end of that contract work have been around for a while, as Subaru talked of expanding capacity to build more units and add a line for the Impreza, and Toyota talked of moving Camry production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The news was official internally last November when SIA Executive Vice President Tom Easterday told the Louisville Courier-Journal that Camry production would end. Now, Automotive News reports that both automakers have admitted publicly that the end will come in 2016.
SIA currently has a 170,000-unit capacity devoted to the home-brand Legacy and Outback models, while a $400-million expansion increases that to 300,000 units to prepare the facility for Impreza production in two years. Freeing up the 100,000 units of production devoted to the Camry means a 400,000-unit capability, which is far more than Subaru needs at the moment, but the Toyota exit will allow it to expand any way it sees fit. Subaru has said it will absorb the workers on the Camry line and no jobs will be lost, the mayor of Lafayette saying the development could change the timetable for the expansion.
