Please Read Carefully:

Up for auction in this listing is a completely customized, total frame off, every nut and bolt, and extremely detailed, restoration! A restoration to a level “above and beyond” most restorations you’ll ever see. It is important to understand, the FJ40 shown, is not the one for sale in this listing. It is only a representation of what’s being offered.

Please read on:

Hemming’s Motor News, the April 2014 issue, predicted a “sharp rise in Toyota FJ40 values for 2014”. It also mentions the FJ40 as being one of the top investment values you’ll find. Imagine if you could purchase one of these FJ40’s, have every inch of it showroom condition, -and- with all your favorite options. An absolute show stopper!! That’s exactly what I’m offering in this listing. A custom built Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 to your specifications.

**********************************************************************************************************

I’ll start with a straight and totally rust free FJ40 in great condition. From there, I'll completely disassemble every nut and bolt, have the frame and parts sandblasted, frame powder coated, and then begin the build according to your own blueprints. Absolutely no short cuts! Obviously, this is not something that can be completed overnight. It will take approximately 8 - 12 months, depending on the options you choose. In most cases, I’ve been able to finish my projects much sooner. It’s tough to give an accurate completion time until I know exactly what the build is to include. Either way, it’s not an FJ40 you’ll purchase that’s put together to what someone else liked. It will be an FJ40 built to what you wanted! Huge difference, and in my opinion, well worth a few months wait.

The photos in this listing are of an FJ40 I sold here on Ebay a few months ago using this same exact format and as I'm offering here, it was built to the purchasers chosen specifications. He made the choices, the decisions, he chose the accessories, and he’s enjoying his FJ40 knowing it’s exactly what he wanted. The exterior color, lift, custom tires and wheels, four wheel disc brakes, high performance V8, automatic transmission, all power leather interior, three point belts, the newest digital gauges available, air conditioning, awesome stereo system, 9500 lb thermo-protected winch, all polished stainless hardware, family roll cage, custom half doors, hard top and full doors, all tinted windows, and on, and on, and on. These were the choices this buyer made. Your choices might be different, however, the photos should give you a good example of the quality work you can expect, no matter what options you decide.

*****************************************************************************************************

I also have a link of over 150 photos showing this entire build from start to finish. That link will show you in great detail the quality and time invested.

This is an auction.

It does not have a "buy it now" price. It does have a reserve price not shown. I won't tell you what that reserve is, however, I will let you know it's very high for good reason. I don't do this for a living and don't make a lot of money doing it. I've simply been playing with FJ40's since I bought my first in 1973. It's a passion and a love that keeps me restoring these awesome vehicles.

At the same time, I do need to cover my expenses and building an FJ40 to the level I'm offering is costly. As an example, I have over $60,000 in receipts alone for the white FJ40 shown. It is as mentioned above, literally a new cruiser!

******************************************************************************************************

I'll require 50% down payment and the balance upon delivery. If the restoration isn't exactly what you want when it's finished, I’ll give your money back. No questions asked! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions if you're interested.

Lexus LFA prototype spied lapping the Nurburgring with new bodywork

Wed, Oct 10 2018

The Lexus LFA was a real engineering tour de force. Sure, it was stuck in development hell for years, and the 4.8-liter V10's 552-horsepower output wasn't super impressive when it came out, but it integrated a ton of expertise Toyota gained from its F1 team in the early to mid 2000s. Unfortunately, it didn't sell well. Last year, we found there were a few new models sitting on dealer lots, five years after the 500-model run ended. Still, it looks like Toyota may not have given up on the idea of a race-derived flagship for Lexus, at least based on this prototype running around the Nurburgring this week. At first glance, the car pictured here looks like an LFA with the Nurburgring Package and some camouflage on the front and rear fenders. If you look closely, you can see that the fenders are significantly wider than on the standard LFA. Based on the license plate, this appears to be the same car with two different sets of wheels. Lexus may simply be swapping out worn tires, or they may be testing different wheel and tire combinations to fit the wider wheel wells. Anything beyond this is just speculation. There have been rumors of a new flagship Lexus sports car that sits atop the LC 500 and LC 500h. We saw the Toyota GR Super Sport Concept back in January, though that car looks nothing like what we see here. As much as we would love that sweet Yamaha co-developed V10 to carry over, we're not holding our breath. Some sort of hybrid powertrain is almost a certainty. Maybe Lexus and Toyota could pull some tech from its Le Mans-winning TS050 Hybrid race car. Related Video:
