1969 Toyota Land Cruiser 4x4 With 69 Chevy 350 Engine on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
Listing this for our father. It's Cheap and I'm not getting much interest here on Ebay, So I am advertising it locally as well. If a local offer precedes an Ebay bid I will sell it locally. But if I do get an Ebay bid, then it will sell on Ebay. Thanks Please contact him directly with hard questions. 208-360-1636 The last 5 years this rig has spent more time parked than anything else. The chevy 350 starts up with a couple pumps of the gas, and isn't too cold blooded. It runs good. Standard transmission works great. No chatter or jumping out of gear at all. Shifts Smoothe. No leaks on my garage floor. 4 wheel drive is amazing. In its day it was the best 4x4 in the world. Its easy to tell why. There was a bit of rust cut out. and a bit left as you can see. The floors are very solid as you can see in the pictures. Just some surface rust. No rust that I can see on the frame. Looks solid And as these go this one has very little rust. Drives and stops ok, but brakes bleed off if it sits for a long time. Seats are very nice. Has 2 back jump seats, not installed. Has original rear heater. Has bikini/safari top. (not sure how it fits. Never tried it.) Tires have plenty usable tread left. You might switch to radials though. Likes to wander a bit. Used more as a toy than a daily driver. It is a solid FJ40 that needs to go to someone that will restore or use it. Starting bids at just $2800. High bidder gets it. Please if you have less than 10 feedback, call me before bidding. I don't have time to waste relisting if you don't pay. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. I would rather have you excited than disappointed. This is a 45 year old rig. Not new. Great shape for her age though. Buyer to arrange His or Her own shipping. I will assist with loading and work with the shipper's schedule. Sold as is. Please pay promptly. I prefer wire transfer. No pay pal. Thank you.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.
Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."
