If you're looking at this listing, you probably all ready know what you're looking at here. This is a very rare, 1962 FJ40, FST Landcruiser - this was a special model year, there were less than 500 of these made as Toyota was transitioning from the early FJ25's to the FJ40's that they made up until 1981-82. I purchased this vehicle from a friend (a neighbor), with every intention of restoring this to factory original, which is what should be done with one so rare. Unfortunately, every time I buy a new piece or do something to it that costs money, someone reminds me that our 15 year old son will need a car in 6 months. So it's time to go. I will try to identify and describe everything for you in this listing that you would want to know about the vehicle - both the good and the not so good. I'll include pics I've taken - but if you want additional pics, just reply to me and I'll send exactly what you want. I'll also list all of the parts and pieces I've accumulated - they will all go with the rig, and some of them were extremely hard to find.
Parts and Extras: the vehicle has a 1F 155 HP Engine in it currently. This motor was original to models in the 1965 to 1969 range or so, and this engine runs great. But I am including a period correct 1F 135 HP engine, bell housing, transmission, transfer case, etc. with the sale (see pics). I have a period correct windshield frame with the proper venting, and I also have the glass that goes in the frame, in perfect shape. I do not have the rubber gasket - you can get a new one online for cheap. I have the period correct spare tire carrier in excellent condition, I have period correct steering wheel in great condition, one additional wheel/rim in great condition (painted), I have two period correct rear jumpseats (primed), period correct fan shroud, I have two door straps with new hardware, two door hinges (primed), new toolbox buckles (see pic of underseat toolbox in good condition), side view mirror (needs new glass), rear view mirror mounting bracket, and original FD knob and cable (4WD shift cable). Front seats were just recently redone, although frames were painted Red in anticipation of painting the rig with the off-white sand body color from the early 60's. The good: I've been running this rig and having a ton of fun with it the last 6 months. I basically bought it, fixed a few things, put new brakes and wheel cylinders on it (the back), and have driven it all over the place. It runs good, and is fun to drive. This rig was built with 16 ga. cold rolled steel - so it did not rust like other models have. Some sheet metal needs work (see below), but the frame and structural components are in excellent shape. The transmission is original to the rig (note the center drive shaft), and works well. Body metal is in great shape with exception of inner fender wells and rear corners - both of which I planned to buy from Pacol online and replace when I restored it. Front floor boards are solid with just surface rust. The bed is solid with just surface rust, with one spot on the rear sill that needs some new metal (see pic). The prev owner installed gluedown carpet over the bed and on the wheel well sides - I removed it, but that's what you see in the pics (glue strips & carpet pieces). The tailgate is as solid as solid gets, and includes original hardware & support chain, etc (no chain covers). All of the parts are there between both motors/transfer cases/bellhouseing etc. (I think) to put this back to original 3 on the tree shifting, with the exception of the shifting linkage & hardware. It currently has floor shifter, which works great, but is obviously not original. So transmission tunnel metal will need to be replaced (I do not have that part). The side steps are both in good shape, and included in this sale is the pyramid type matting that's needed to re-do the side steps (parts are sitting on the white mat in pictures). The not so good: the carburetor on this F155 HP motor was retrofitted by Prev Owner just so it could be driven. It's not original to anything, but at least it works. The good news - the F135 motor has the original carburetor (with glass inspection piece). One of the shock mounts to the front axle needs re-welded. It was loose when I bought it - and since I was only driving it on the roads, and not off-road, it really didn't bother me. The inner wheel wells both need replaced (Pacol, $375 per well I think). Both rear corners need replaced (also available at Pacol), and the rear sill needs some metal replacement (otherwise in good shape). I do NOT have the original ribs (bows) for the Soft Top - but the specs to build new ribs are available online. I had planned to have them fabricated, then have a new Soft Top built for it - but I never got around to it. I DO have the brackets installed that hold the soft top frame (they are hard to find). The front fenders are in great shape, but one dent is seen in the drivers side fender (see pic). Rear bumpers are ugly white, and one needs some straightening, but otherwise they're good. I removed most of the wiring harness and used what I needed to make it street legal for driving (brakes lights etc). The two lower running lights need new bulbs and covers, but they're not hooked up right now anyway. So new owner will need to buy a new harness or fix what's there - I had intended to buy a new barness from a guy on MUD.com for $600 or so. There are probably 100 other things I could tell you about the rig. If you need more information, or want pictures of anything just let me know and be specific. This will make a great project for someone with time and money (and an understanding spouse). Thanks for looking. |

BMW-Toyota sports car heading towards Tokyo debut
Mon, 20 May 2013Earlier this year, BMW and Toyota confirmed a four-part joint venture mostly focusing on increasing improving vehicle efficiency using fuel cells, lightweight materials and better battery technology. Also tucked into the announcement was a "feasibility study" for a shared platform to underpin a future midsize "sports vehicle."
In terms of the latter, it seems that things have stepped up from the feasibility stage to the conceptual stage, as Motor Trend reports we could see a pair of new sports car concepts debut later this year in at the Tokyo Motor Show. There isn't much information about the new program, but the article suggests the sports cars could be all-wheel drive hybrids, with electric motors powering the front wheels and a gas engine powering the rear wheels. While a partnership between Toyota and BMW might not lend itself to a catchy portmanteau like "Toyobaru," here's hoping it will bear fruit that is as exciting as the ones produced by the Toyota/Subaru tie up.
Lexus takes aim at electric vehicles, again
Wed, Oct 12 2016Lexus is once again taking aim at plug-in vehicles by emphasizing the perceived challenges of recharging batteries, rather than simply filling up with gas or hydrogen. Only this time, Toyota's luxury division appears to be zigging while everyone else is zagging. Of course, the nameplate can use all the help it can get when it comes to hybrid sales. First highlighted by Green Car Reports, Lexus has added a banner to the website of its hybrid vehicles that says "Always Charged. Always Ready." That's a not-so-veiled shot at plug-in vehicles, a sector where Toyota has minimal exposure. Lexus also notes of its hybrid vehicles that there's "nothing to plug in." Of course, there may be sour grapes at play. Through September, sales of its five hybrid models in the US dropped 17 percent from a year earlier to about 21,500 units, and September was particularly tough as hybrid sales plunged 34 percent to almost 1,800 units. Even so, the third quarter likely represented a record when it came to plug-in vehicle sales. We say "likely" because Tesla doesn't break out its US sales, and not all automakers disclose sales of their plug-ins. We calculate that sales for the quarter were at about 36,000 vehicles, up 38 percent from a year earlier. For now, Lexus doesn't sell a fuel-cell model, though it may sell a fuel-cell version of the Lexus LS full-size sedan. Toyota, of course, offers the Mirai, which has moved about 710 units this year. Lexus has gone down this proverbial road before. In 2014, the brand unveiled a similar campaign that highlighted how long it took to recharge EVs, and was ultimately taken to task by electric-vehicle advocates Plug-In America. Lexus apologized for offending anyone and said it'd review content related to hybrid advertising. Doesn't seem like an apology is in order this time out, but that doesn't mean that it's a good strategy.

Toyota working on cars that hover above the roadway
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Toyota is one of the largest automakers in the world, but it's not content simply building and selling conventional cars - it's been at the forefront of numerous advancements in ground transportation. It is widely credited with advancing the cause of hybrid propulsion, and alongside Audi and Google, is among the first automakers seriously testing self-driving cars. We could go on, but the news here is that Toyota is reportedly developing vehicles that hover above the road surface instead of rolling along it.
The news comes from Hiroyoshi Yoshiki, one of Toyota's tech gurus, who revealed at Bloomberg's Next Big Thing summer in San Francisco that the company is working on hovering cars - ones that travel just above the road surface, but don't actually fly in three-dimension space.
According to The Verge, a spin-off of our own sister-site Engadget, Yoshiki refused to elaborate on what the project entails and how far along it is. He was speaking along acting NHTSA chief David Friedman, who lauded such advancements as a "great taste of innovations to come," but stressed the significance of more concrete improvements to conventional automobiles - like inter-car communications to keep vehicles from colliding on the highway - as more relevant to today's industry.
