1961 Toyota Fj40 on 2040-cars
Lewiston, Maine, United States
|
This is an antique 1961 Toyota FJ40. This is the second year model for the FJ40. The first 3 yrs are very rare and offer a few unique qualities. I am by no means an expert on these trucks, but do know a little bit about them, so if you have any questions I will do my best to answer them.
The following is the history that I know about the FJ: I purchased the vehicle 5 yrs ago The engine, brakes, hubs have all been rebuilt in the past 7yrs The wiring has been redone in the past 7yrs I put a seat cover on the bench seat A new weber carb was installed last year due to the fact I could not find any oem carb repair kits I am told the weber carb will improve the high end a little bit and give it a little better fuel mileage The wheels and tires I installed 5yrs ago, the are standard chevy 6 bolt pattern The suspension was also replaced 6yrs ago and had a shackle lift installed Original 3spd on the tree was converted to 3spd on the floor for easier shifting which came out of a few yrs newer FJ40 This vehicle has been in my storage facility most of the time I have owned it. I have driven it around town here and there, never on the highway. The frame is completely solid, if I kept it any longer I would probably redo the exterior paint back to original red. The tub over all has some rust here and there, which has been removed and repaired. This FJ could be a great Father/Son project with mostly cosmetic work needed to be perfect. I have no problem helping coordinate with your shipper anywhere you wish. I will accept cashiers check, cash or wire transfer. Total must be received within 7 days of auction end. |

Toyota reaches $1.2B unintended acceleration settlement in criminal probe
Wed, 19 Mar 2014UPDATE: Just like that, Toyota has released an official statement confirming its $1.2-million dollar settlement with the US Attorney's Office. Our story has been updated to reflect this development and the automaker's official statement has been added below.
Toyota has reached a settlement over the criminal probe into its unintended acceleration problems, and the outcome is more expensive than first expected. The Japanese automaker has agreed to pay $1.2 billion to close the investigation among other settlement terms. The criminal inquiry focused on whether the company kept information from regulators and how it handled drivers' complaints about the problems, according to the sources.
Between 2009 and 2010, Toyota ended up recalling over 10 million vehicles worldwide over sudden acceleration fears. Fixes include modifying floor mats, gas pedals, and installing brake override software on affected models. In addition, Toyota made the latter standard on all of its new vehicles.
Toyota expects hybrids will soon reach 20-percent sales volume globally
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Hybrids have come quite a long way from their roots as dull, slow, boring ecomobiles. Today, Porsche sells three hybrid models, one of which is the amazing 918 Spyder. BMW will soon sell four, including a low-slung, two-seat sports car. Even Ferrari and McLaren, full-fledged hypercar manufacturers, are embracing the tech. And all of these cars are sold alongside the same sort of boring cars that popularized hybrids in the first place. According to Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada, though, we should see an even bigger increase in the number of hybrid vehicles in the coming years.
"I foresee hybrid models pretty soon reaching 20 percent of global sales from about 13 percent to 14 percent now," Uchiyamada-san told Automotive News. Uchiyamada is the man behind the original Prius, which gives him some degree of authority on making predictions about hybrid adoption.
What's remarkable, though, is that the 20-percent figure doesn't include plug-in hybrids, just gas- and diesel-electric models. "Suppliers need higher volumes to slash costs of components specific to plug-in models, including batteries that should be bigger and more capable than the ones used in traditional hybrids," Uchiyamada told AN.
Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too
Fri, 24 Oct 2014The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.
