Year:1979
Mileage:102333
Location:
Sheridan, Wyoming, United States
|
This is a 1979 FJ40 with only 102k original miles. It is an unrestored original that has never been painted. You can see exactly what you are getting. This is a great vehicle to begin a ground up restoration on. The frame and axles have minor surface rust and will clean up easily without any of the major pitting that is seen on some vehicles from salty enviroments. This Cruiser runs, steers, stops, and drives nice. I would not hesitate to drive this vehicle to any destination in the United States. I first purchased this vehicle in 2001. At that time it had 80k miles. I owned it for several years and then sold it to a good friend of mine. It was sold a couple more times before I re-purchased it last year. I had intentions of completing my 4th complete frame up restoration but decided to stick with the one I already completed. The tires were purchased new 3 months ago and have about 10 miles on them. They are mounted on original FJ40 rims and have brand new OEM hubcaps. They are 33x10.50R15 BF Goodrich Radial Mud Terrains. All 5 were purchased at the same time. The radiator and water pump were recently replaced. It currently runs a Weber carburetor and header with a Mallory Unilite ignition. There is a new OEM carb, linkage, some side mirrors, and air cleaner included to take it back to stock. I also have a stock exhaust manifold from a 1977 2F motor that I will include if the buyer desires. The exhaust on the rig is not stock but is also new within the last couple of years. I drove this rig today and it starts and runs perfect. It is a solid rig and is very complete. The only modifications from stock are the carb and header, Mallory electronic ignition, and rear fender flares. I have tried to show the rust as clearly as possible in the pictures. The rear quarters have the typical rust. To fix this, it needs quarter panels and the rear sill parts that are all available from Cool Cruisers of Texas. There is some rust in the wheel wells but it is small and patches will do. There are also 2 small holes in the drivers side floor that need a patch. The rust on the rockers appears to be just deep surface rust and should clean up without having to replace any panels.The fenders and hood are good as well. There are some other minor dents in the front passenger fender and passenger door. If you have read this far, you already know that the 79-84 FJ40s are the ones that are highly sought after by collectors. They have the under body gas tank that is a little bigger and a lot safer than the in-cab tanks of the ealier years. They have the 4 speed transmissions and the 3:70 gear ratios that make them drive better at highway speeds. The 33 inch tires help this rig run comfortably down the road at 75. This is a great rig and you will not be disappointed. I have heard and seen all the stories of people buying painted over rust buckets for big money and having to sink thousands into them to fix them. You can see exactly what you are getting with this rig. I ask for a $500 deposit within 2 days of the close of this auction. The balance can be handled through a bank transfer cash in person. I have a clear Wyoming title for this vehicle in my hand. No bank liens or other issues. This rig also comes with a Warn 8274 winch and remote that is in great working condition. There is also a heavy duty panel that closes the back end of the tub if you take the top and rear doors off. It is shown under the extra parts. The original tool bag with the Toyota OEM tools and some extra no-name tools, as well as all original jack and handles is there too. The brake master is also new. The rear seat is a Con-Fer unit that folds down and has storage underneath. There is also a Con-Fer console installed. I do not have the original console piece. Stereo is new too!
On Apr-07-14 at 05:56:45 PDT, seller added the following information: This rig has a Rancho 2 or 3 inch lift kit and it also has an Auburn limited slip differential in the front axle. Also, the front bumper was built to bolt on to the stock brackets. It can be removed and replaced with an OEM bumper. |

Subaru, Toyota refute reports of BRZ, 86 demise
Fri, Feb 1 2019After news broke of an anticipated Japanese report telling that the Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ twins were not long for this world, both carmakers have denied the cars' successors have been canceled. Carscoops reports that both Toyota and Subaru have stated they are developing next-generation cars. As a Subaru USA spokesman told Carscoops: "We do not endorse this report coming from Japan's Best Car. ... We are moving ahead with a next-generation Subaru BRZ, but have no further details at this time." The website also reported a similar statement from Toyota. With the models getting long in the tooth and no test mules having been spied, doubts are not unwarranted — remember just how long Toyota teased the fifth generation Supra before its 2019 debut. More information is not yet available, or whether the two brands will still collaborate to bring the new-generation coupes to the market, but for Toyobaru fans this might be grounds to breathe a sigh of relief. That would also mean, that if the hinted MR-2 revival is based on solid ground, there will be a full "Three Brothers" Toyota sports car portfolio for sale in the next decade. With the Supra offered also as a four-cylinder in Japan, it will be interesting to see if Toyota will retain the 86's current, slight power advantage over the Supra's 197-horsepower variant or respect the status of the bigger brother.

Refreshed Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ spied running around the Nurburgring
Tue, Oct 15 2019The Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ are officially confirmed for a second generation, but it looks like this current car will not go softly into the night. One of our spy photographers just caught a camo’d up BRZ/86 pounding around the Nurburgring with a few changes in store. This tester only has camouflage on the front and rear of the car, indicating a light refresh is the extent of the styling changes. In examining the car as a whole, itÂ’s a rather conflicting tester. Both the grille and headlights tell us itÂ’s an 86, but the badge on the rear clearly says “BRZ.” The Toyota 86 has a different grille than the BRZ, and we can see that style grille flanked by some massaged vents on both sides. Toyota uses a different style of headlight for the 86, and these look similar to those used in the current car. New front-design features are covered up by the camouflage, but the sheet metal doesnÂ’t appear to be changing. Another area of potential change is at the rear of the car. More camouflage on the trunk lid covers the obvious BRZ badge and the taillights. We donÂ’t see much in the way of differences between the taillights on this model and the current BRZ/86 twins, but the manufacturer obviously wants to keep something secret back there. What weÂ’re most excited about is seeing the extra vent behind the front wheels. Current BRZ and 86 trims donÂ’t feature such intense cooling additions. Above it sits what appears to be a badge or protrusion of some sort. The window-level badging is still visible under the wrapping, but the tire-level badge is a new one — itÂ’s similar to the design we see on the WRX and WRX STI. All things considered, this one is a little confusing. Subaru could be adopting a more Toyota 86-esque design, but we suspect a special edition is in the works. Hopefully it involves more than just design tweaks, and gives this model a hearty send-off before the new generation arrives.
Kyle Busch breaks leg in big crash, will miss Daytona 500
Sun, Feb 22 2015NASCAR driver Kyle Busch suffered a compound fracture of the lower right leg and a mid-foot fracture of his left yesterday at Daytona during the 112th lap of the Alert Today Florida 300, the season-opening race of the 2015 NASCAR XFINITY Series. Busch came into contact with the infield wall just past the pit lane exit, an area where there is currently no SAFER barrier, which is designed to reduce the risk of injury in a crash. Fellow racer Ty Dillon, the third-place finisher in the race, expressed a common refrain following the news of Busch's injury. "I think we're to the point now in NASCAR we should have SAFER barriers at a place like this, we're going so fast. I think we could probably afford it," said Dillon. Matt Crafton will drive the No. 18 Toyota today at the Daytona 500 today as a substitute for Busch, but it's not yet clear if he will continue to drive the car following Daytona. Kurt Busch, Kyle's older brother, will also miss the Daytona 500 due to the domestic violence case against him in Delaware. Video footage of the wreck can be seen above. It goes without saying, but we wish Kyle a speedy recovery and a return to his stock car as quickly as possible.
