1969 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 on 2040-cars
Year:1969
Mileage:9200
Location:
Weston, Connecticut, United States

Up for sale is a 1969 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with a Chevrolet 350 Throttle Body Fuel Injected V-8. This truck was purchased a few years ago, out of Dallas, TX by the previous owner. That dry climate means it spent its life dry. It is a solid truck and has all original metal. Rust is not a problem with this truck.
The previous owner was a regular at Caffeine & Carburetors (http://) in New Canaan, CT, where the truck drew a strong crowd. Be prepared to get compliments wherever you go ...and stop. The truck is always garaged, both at home and at work, but I drive it daily, so it does have some small blemishes. It was painted Corvette Targa Blue about 2 years ago. The shine has held up nicely so it appears that they did quality work. It was also outfitted with all new emblems from Toyota, new stainless steel hood latches, new windshield latches, and a billet aluminum hood ornament. I’m a big fan of the high-visibility brake light (V8) mounted in the spare. The truck drives smooth and doesn’t behave as you might expect a 44 year-old vehicle to behave. The power steering and power disc brakes at each of the 4 corners make it effortless, smooth, and fun. It shifts easy. It tracks straight. * This truck always starts up: no hesitation; no pumping the gas (fuel injection) * 4WD works great * No structural issues * Engine Mileage: 9,200 Many upgrades: * New master/slave clutch cylinder * New starter * 4 wheel disc brakes * GM power steering * Rebuilt 1974 Toyota 4 speed transmission with a Ranger Torque Splitter for a 27% overdrive on the highway * Rebuilt 1976 4 speed transfer case * Shackle Reversal kit with 2.5" new front springs and 4" rear springs * 4 stock Toyota steel wheels and new hub caps with BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A (33X10.50X15 BFG KM2’s) * Pioneer stereo with auxiliary port * Custom subwoofer in Jerry Gas Can * Custom Gauges * Front Toyota bucket seats recovered with head rests * Center console (Tuffy) with lock system for storage. Included in the sale: * Full hardtop: white top panel with sides painted in matching Corvette Targa Blue * Pair of full hard-doors, painted in matching Corvette Targa Blue * Full custom soft top with bows/frame Potential for inclusion in the sale: * 5 aluminum rims with 4 Futura Dakota RVT (33X12.50X15) * Full second roll-bar * Bikini top w/ zipper-window panel for behind driver/passenger * Pair of full soft-doors (black) * Second vinyl reproduction soft-top with bows * Rear bench seat * Pair of fender flares Issues: * Fuel gauge is not accurate: shouldn’t be hard to adjust the float but I generally just fill it up at 1/2 tank, instead. * Radio is not working but should be easy to fix — haven’t had the time and the engine plays a nice tune. I really hate to sell this truck, and it’s been a difficult decision, but I’m driving further to work these days and it’s hard to justify putting those miles on this kind of vehicle. If I could keep it as a third car, I would. I’m looking to get this truck into the hands of somebody who will give it a good home and will enjoy it as much as I have. I’m hoping for a local sale so I can see it cruising around — maybe making it easier for me to buy it back down the road. Because it’s for sale locally, there’s a chance that I’ll have to end the auction early — without advanced notice or explanation. A lot of money has been put into it by myself and the previous owner. At the opening price, you’d be getting a lot of truck for your money. If possible, I encourage you to come see/drive the vehicle but, if you had to purchase it sight-unseen, you won’t be disappointed. *CLARIFICATION: This vehicle does NOT have a title (but eBay doesn't have an option for title-doesn't-exist). State of CT doesn't require a title for vehicles older than 1981. If your state differs, you can likely get a replacement issued. * Pics @ Flickr * Video @ YouTube * Featured @ Caffeine & Carburetors via GnarlyFaction I will consider all reasonable offers and I will consider trades for late-model Jeep 4-door Wranglers with low miles. I’ll answer any questions as completely and as promptly as possible. Thanks for your interest and good luck in the auction. -M |

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept leaves us feeling flushed
Wed, 20 Nov 2013When last we checked in on our topless would-be hero, the Toyota FT-86 convertible had been reportedly placed on "indefinite hold." That was back in early October, not long after Toyota had trotted out the rear-wheel-drive canvasback to Scion dealers as a possible future product carrot if they decided not to turn in their franchises. And yet, we're here at the Tokyo Motor Show, where Toyota has taken the time to at least repaint the FT-86 Open Concept in "Flash Red," if not build a whole other car (the original Geneva showcar was white). It's enough to make our heads spin like a teenager on the verge of a breakup. Will they? Won't they?
At this point, we still don't know any more than you do - the last word we heard out of Toyota was not encouraging, although the story was that the program could still be fast-tracked if management had a change of heart. As the car has never been seen before in Japan, perhaps Toyota is merely extending its domestic audience a courtesy view before it lines this showcar in mothballs, or maybe they're still trying to make a decision on its fate and gauging public reaction on the homefront.
Interestingly, in a new story published today, Automotive News quotes Subaru brand boss Yasuyuki Yoshinaga downplaying the likelihood of a production model, saying flatly "We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen." The executive went on to note, "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change." Given that such a car would probably trade in rather small volumes, that sounds like a significant hurtle.
2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
Thu, 23 Oct 2014Despite the earnest efforts of Japanese automakers like Toyota and Nissan, the American pickup truck scene remains wholly dominated by the likes of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. This is not news. Part of the reason is because of the sheer number of variants offered by US automakers - everything from work-spec base trucks to house-leveling heavy duty models can be had, with a seemingly endless combination of engines, cab sizes, bed lengths and trim levels. It's a hugely profitable business, and though the Japanese automakers still offer competitive fullsize trucks, in terms of sheer volume, they simply don't compete.
But American pickups aren't just about work; there's a huge play aspect involved, too. Look at the desert-storming Ford F-150 SVT Raptor or the Ram Power Wagon - these butch trucks are built with superb off-road prowess in mind, and Detroit's Japanese rivals have once again largely been silent in this segment. Until now.
Introduced at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, Toyota now offers the TRD Pro series of models that, in addition to the crazy-orange Tundra seen here, includes the smaller Tacoma pickup and 4Runner SUV. And this isn't just some pretty appearance package, either - there's honest-to-goodness capability baked into all of the TRD Pro models. Intriguing, for sure, so I recently spent a weekend with the big boy Tundra to see what's what.
Meet the Most Elegant Automobile, and it's for sale
Sat, 08 Jun 2013Alright, so maybe "most elegant" is a bit of a stretch, but we feel safe in calling the 1992 Toyota Paseo in the video below an "automobile." High praise, we know. Still, it's clear someone loves the awkward little coupe enough to produce a hilarious video to sell the thing. Henry Floyd worked up a quick parody of the over-the-top luxury car ads we all know and loathe, and while the finished product is a little skimpy on details like price or location, it certainly doesn't hold back on the exposition.
Hell, if we didn't already have a parade of horrible ideas floating around our collective driveways, we might even be convinced to give this little heap a new home. You can check out the ad for yourself below, just don't be surprised if you find yourself with a burning desire to own a Paseo.
