Up for auction is this 1980 FJ40 in excellent, all original, untampered-with condition. It is getting rare to find all original FJ40s for sale that haven't been modified or restored (poorly in many cases) This 40 is a true survivor and you wont find another one like it easily. It is in amazing condition.

This 40 is almost rust free. FJ40s were always prone to rust, but the later the model year, the rustier they usually are. In 1979, Toyota changed the body of the FJ40 to relocate the gas tank to under the vehicle instead of under the passenger seat. These later 40s are some of the most desirable, yet are very very hard to find in restorable condition because of body and frame rust. It is very common on an FJ40 of this era to have to replace the inner fender wells, quarter panels, rockers, floor boards, ambulance door bottoms, driver and passenger door bottoms, windshield frame, front bib, fenders, and more with new panels. This FJ40 needs NONE OF THOSE PANELS replaced. I have included pictures of all of the commonly rusted areas to show how little rust there is. The worst rust is on the rear sill, and there is some surface rust here and there on the body. The paint is all original with no body work to hide flawed areas. The stripes are dealer added. Other than the rust I've mentioned, there is no significant body damage anywhere on the vehicle.

Mechanically this FJ40 is in excellent condition. It has had no mechanical alterations. With only 114,000 miles, to start it and drive it is what I'd like to think is as close to driving a new one as possible. It starts up and runs great. The entire drivetrain is tight and in excellent condition. This 40 also has rare factory power steering. The tires are almost new BFG muds.

There aren't many negatives with this FJ40, but the 2 worst are that someone added a sunroof at some point, and that the headliner is falling down. Another is that the factory front bumper has been removed. I can assist in locating an OEM one for the buyer if you like.

I've taken lots of pictures and they speak to the condition of the 40. There are no surprises and I'm confident that the buyer will be more than satisfied with it in person. The Land Cruiser is at my place in Colorado. I will be glad to help arrange shipping for the buyer if necessary.

Feel free to email with any questions. This Land Cruiser is an investment that, with the proper care, will continue to gain in value. I am not interested in any trades or lowering the price below the opening bid. Please don't ask.

2014 Toyota Corolla details leaked

Thu, 09 May 2013

Toyota will launch the 2014 Corolla later this year, and thanks to the ever-leaky internet, a couple of key details about the new sedan have been revealed. Car and Driver was able to uncover these bits of information thanks to someone at a Toyota dealer in Kansas who has seen the car, as well as its order guide, though the dealer's site has since removed its original posting.
We got our first glimpse at the next-generation Corolla's design at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, where Toyota unveiled the Furia concept, pictured above. Yes, it looks all sporty and aggressive, but fear not, appliance shoppers, C/D says that the production car should have a couple of Furia bits mixed in with a huge helping of Camry-inspired styling.
The 2014 Corolla will reportedly continue to use a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, though the mill has been massaged a bit, adding Toyota's Valvematic continuously variable valve timing. A four-speed automatic (yep!) will be offered in the base model, though the manual transmission now has six gears, and higher trim levels can be had with a CVT. Both engine output and fuel economy numbers should improve slightly over the 2013 model. Currently, the Corolla produces 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and achieves 27/34 miles per gallon (city/highway) with the five-speed manual 'box.

Fuel cells will flop outside Japan, says VW

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

"It may fly within Japan, but not globally," VW's Shoji said.
It's long been battered into our beleaguered auto writer brains that the ultimate future source of motivation for tomorrow's cars and trucks is not gasoline, diesel, electricity, natural gas, propane or solar power - it's the hydrogen fuel cell. It's been the Next Big Thing since the start of Next Big Things.

BMW Z5 roadster gets frosty in winter testing

Fri, Apr 1 2016

The successor to the BMW Z4 (remember that thing?) is currently undergoing testing in what may be the least hospitable place for a two-seat roadster – northern Sweden. Yep, even sunshine-loving convertibles need to undergo winter testing. We still aren't 100-percent certain of the name, but rumors are pointing to BMW ditching the Z4 nomenclature in favor of Z5. As we've reported before, it's very likely that this car is being developed with help from Toyota. The platform underpinning the car shown here could become the long-awaited new Supra (albeit in hardtop-only form). We'd love to tell you about the look of this new car, but between the camouflage and the caked-on snow, it's hard to draw a bead. We can clearly see the headlights are inspired by newer BMWs like the 7 Series and 2 Series, but other details are harder to discern. The right elements are here, though. The prototype has a long hood and short rear deck. It's also worth pointing out that the car shown here marks a return to a canvas convertible roof. Aside from being less complex, our spies report that the soft top is being used to lower weight and provide sharper handling. While our report on the Z4's successor from March 2015 pointed to a 2020 launch date for the new roadster, our spies say the German part of this BMW/Toyota partnership could launch in late 2017 or early 2018 with four- and six-cylinder engine options.
