74 Toyota Fj40 Landcruiser With Chevy V8 Conversion Dark Green on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:100000
Location:

Ooltewah, Tennessee, United States

Ooltewah, Tennessee, United States

This is a 1974 FJ40 that has had the Chevy V8 conversion. The engine is a new Chevy 350 crate engine with less than 500 miles since installed. I had the turbo 400 transmission and transfer case rebuilt when they replaced the engine. This is built for a true off road vehicle, but can be driven on the road. It has a 4 inch lift and sits on 35 inch tires (that are new),It is in good shape for this year vehicle and had the typical rust in the rear quarter panels and along the back of the seats where the rear section meets the floor pan. I welded in metal along that section and put on the rear quarter panel covers over the bad spots. I did treat and paint the rust areas and they have been this way for the past 13 years I have owned and driven the vehicle. I repainted it last year, but it is just a rattle can paint job, great for off road cause you can touch up any trail rash with paint from local hardware or superstore. I have done many upgrades to the vehicle listed below. I am in the Chattanooga TN area, so you are welcome to see the cruiser if you are in the area. It has a clear TN title. I will only except cash or PayPal as payments for this vehicle. No international sales, but I can be available if someone wants to have the vehicle shipped in the US. Here is a list of what has been done to this cruiser:

New crate 350 engine with less then 500 miles

Rebuilt 400 turbo trans and transfer case

New BF Goodrich 35 inch mud terrain tires (less then 200 miles on them)

New Superwinch 9500 winch with cover

New Hella high intensity driving lights

Power steering

4 wheel disc brake conversion

4 inch lift, also less then 200 miles on it.

New swing out rear tire bumper with 2" hitch

Spare tire is match new BF Goodrich mud terrain

Has a 4 barrel Holley Truck Dominator carb

Newer battery

Aluminum radiator

New lights up front and in the rear

New hold downs for the hood and windshield

ARB rear air locker with onboard air compressor with air storage tank plumbed in.

Newer adjustable seats

Tuffy center locking console with a new Sony explode CD player with Ipod input

2 weather proof speakers

Poly gas tank

Rock lights

New weather stripping on doors

Soft top with hard doors. The soft top has a place on the roof where it rubs on the role bar that wore through. I have duct tape over it, and it is a small hole.

Full roll bar

CB radio with antenna

Custome gauges (Spedo and odometer do not work, replaced the cable but no luck, not sure of milage but guessing over 100,000)

 As I said, this is set up for off road use, but it can be driven on the road. It does not have the greatest road manners with the power steering and large tires on a 4" lift. The 4 barrel carb also likes gas and these things are not the most fuel efficient vehicles to begin wth. As you can see from the list above a large amount of money has been spent on this cruiser to set it up for a serious 4 wheeling vehicle. I moved from another state and away from my wheeling friends and have no time to take it out anymore.No reserve on this auction and I will not end it early so please do not ask.

How new car shortages may impact your buying experience

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.

Camatte concept puts the Toy back in Toyota [w/videos]

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

It's been two years since Toyota first revealed its Camatte show car at the Tokyo Toy Show. Though sadly never destined for production, Toyota brought the concept back the following year as the Camatte 57s roadster, and is now returning to the same show with yet another take on the kid-friendly, configurable 1+2 with interchangeable body panels - this time with a slew of features that are fresh not only to the concept itself, but to the industry altogether.
This year the Camatte is being showcased in two forms: a bare chassis in the Tech Lab that lets kids see the inner workings of a modern automobile, and another in the Design Lab that lets kids draw their own motif for the concept that is then displayed on an LED hood.
The overall approach reminds us of the way Toyota's budget brand Daihatsu unveiled the Kopen roadster concept at the Tokyo Motor Show late last year, only even more kid-focused and decidedly more light-hearted than you might otherwise expect from one of the largest industrial giants in the world, and could only have been made for a toy exposition. In Japan. Which would explain the ridiculously upbeat videos below, where you'll also find the brief press release.
