No reserve auction. Please note: this is a parts vehicle, there is no title, it is not running and it is incomplete.


I got the Cruiser as a 2 for 1 deal, I bought a 77 Cruiser and was given this one to pull parts from. I have what I need, so I'm letting this one go to the highest bidder. No reserve.

What I know:
I have some spare doors that I'll include in the sale. That's one driver's side, one passenger. I also have a tail gate and very crude upper window (home made) that I can include in the sale at no charge.
The hood is too far gone, there is more rust than metal. You'll need gloves to touch it, unless you're up to date on your tetanus shots.
There is an engine, a transmission and a transfer case. Both axles are present, as are the brakes.
There's very little left of the dash.
The engine bay has plenty missing from it.
The valve cover is just sitting there, not bolted down at all.
There are no windows.
The top has a significant dent in it since the previous owner stored spare parts on top of it.
There is a VIN plate.
There is NO TITLE. I have no idea whether you can get one. You're welcome to call the Kentucky DMV and find out with the VIN.
Hinges are in great shape for the front door.
Tires are dry rotted but have been holding air for over 5 weeks.

What I do not know:
I cannot test or verify the condition of the engine. It may run, or it may be a very nice paperweight.
I cannot test the transfer case or transmission. Same thing: they might work, they might not.
There is a LOT of rust on this cruiser and I make no predictions or guarantees that you can or cannot restore it. 

Plenty of bits left, I can take as many pictures as you need me to. I will help load if needed but I cannot deliver. 

Please understand that this is not a quick weekend fix, this is a complete restoration on a very cool truck or it's a part out to use what you need and recycle the rest.

FJ40 must be picked up within 10 days of auction ending. I'm paying for the storage unit on a monthly basis and I want this gone sooner rather than later.

Bid with confidence, I take Ebay seriously and make every effort to keep things light and efficient.

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.

Toyota Recalling 516,000 Vehicles In Three Recalls

Thu, May 22 2014

Toyota said Thursday it's recalling 516,000 vehicles worldwide - including 430,500 in the U.S. - for three separate safety problems, including brakes that can activate without warning. The company said it has no reports of accidents or injuries due to the defects. In all three cases, the company will alert owners and dealers will repair the issues for free. The largest recall, of 450,000 Sienna minivans from the 2004-2011 model years, targets vehicles sold in cold weather areas. Toyota said road salt can corrode the spare tire carrier under the vehicle and the tire can fall off. Siennas from the 2004-2010 model years were for the same issue in 2010, and a splash protector and anti-rust protection were applied. But the company says the splash protector can fall off and rust can still occur. The recall involves 370,000 minivans sold in the U.S., 80,000 in Canada and 400 in Europe. Also recalled Thursday were: - 16,000 Lexus GS 250 and 350 sedans from the 2013 model year because a manufacturing defect can cause the brakes to activate without warning, and without turning on the brake lights. Most of the vehicles - 10,500 - were sold in the U.S. Also included are left-hand-drive sedans sold in Canada, China and Europe. - 50,000 Highlander and Highlander hybrid SUVs from the 2014 model year. Toyota says a software glitch may prevent the vehicle from properly calculating the size of the front passenger when determining whether to fire the air bags. The affected vehicles assume the passenger is smaller, so the bags may not fire or they may fire at a lower speed than necessary for a larger passenger. Toyota says most of the affected vehicles - 45,287 - were sold in the U.S. Around 3,400 were sold in Canada and the rest were sold in Mexico and Europe.

Nissan, Toyota offering payment deferments to people affected by government shutdown

Tue, 15 Oct 2013

Two weeks into the budget-related government shutdown and it sounds like some progress is finally being made, but that doesn't really help furloughed government employees pay their bills. To help out a little, Nissan and Toyota are joining Hyundai with offering payment deferments to current owners and lessees.
In a release, a Nissan spokesperson said the company is "sympathetic to any of our customers who find themselves in difficult financial circumstances - many times outside of their control."
Both Japanese automakers are allowing payment extensions of up to 90 days without penalties or fees. Unlike the Hyundai Assurance Plan, though, it doesn't seem like the Nissan or Toyota assistance will be extended to those who are still in the buying process. Scroll down for press releases from both companies about their respective payment deferment programs.
