4 Sale, one of the cleanest, RUST FREE classic FJ 40's left on this planet. It is also smog exempt in the State of California and many other States due to age. This FJ was professionally RESTORED from the ground up and a Full Body off restoration was done 11,800 proven driven miles ago. FJ is garage kept and serviced top to bottom every 3,000 miles. The bottom side of this FJ looks outstanding and much nicer than most for sure = SEE PHOTOS.  Body was (off frame) when body was painted inside and out and under.= SEE PHOTOS. The frame was also detailed and all fresh rebuilt running gear installed in frame. FJ is powered by a 1968 Chevy 327 small block motor fitted with aluminum Intake - headers - elect dist - Pete Jackson Gear Drive = Gear drive not a stock timing chain so you get the hot rod wine and rumble and no timing lag, they hear you coming.  If you want it quiet put a stock timing chain back in it. Intake fitted with 4 bbl carb with electric choke. Motor dressed in chrome and stainless lines.  Motor bay and motor also detailed nice = SEE PHOTOS. Motor is mated to a newer FJ 40 - 4 speed manual transmission with the use of advance adapter. The 4 wheel drive transfer case is the good, proven Toyota factory FJ40 as well. The Rear end and Front end are both Toyota but fitted with 4.11 gears. Warn locking hubs, New HD axles - HD ring gear & pinion, HD bearings and new seals installed. New drive lines and yokes.  4 Wheels power Disc brakes installed on it and Power steering also installed to make it easy to drive on or off road. All brake lines done in stainless steel and the Tire size is 36 inch tall Super Swamper tires 12.5 wide that's over 4 feet of rubber on the ground at a cost of $340 per tire. If your going to just drive on the street full time (sell the off road super swampers) and install a set of  A/T highway tire.  A 3 inch Old Man Emu suspension lift also installed for better ground clearance and body stance. This FJ will climb a tree if needed and is fitted with a 8,000 lb Warn winch to pull your friends out that drive Jeeps and Broncos. Fj has two gas tanks so if you run out switch to the other tank and keep going. Body was installed back on frame with new body bushings and tub felts. New door rubbers installed - New window felts installed. The top and grill both finished in black to better accent the black wheels. New high back adjustable seats installed in front and factory FJ jump seats re-installed in the rear. Fj was built for off road as it should be - but also street legal and fun to drive around town for sure. People love this FJ and it will turn every head driving in it or just parked on the street. This FJ has been used on and off road over the past few years and only has been driven limited part time as a toy! It only has 11,800 driven miles on the restoration and it is kept clean. It's not a national show truck that lives on a trailer. A few minor paint chips and the norm you expect for a vehicle that is driven on and off  road. I just had paint shop air brush any paint chips or road rash it had from using it as it should be. With that said this FJ still looks outstanding overall and much nicer that any FJ you see that gets driven. SEE PHOTOS. If FJ was any nicer you would not want to drive it and get it dirty.  No big dents like most. No Rust like most of them. No floor pan patch work - No Body armor or diamond plate covering up the rust and rot like most have - dash not cut - See all Photos of Body and Bottom side - Frame - Wheel wells and so on. It speaks for itself - it's nice! Buyers more than welcome to inspect in person . I have nothing to hide,  It is what it is, and it's nicer than most for sure.  FJ has been up dated with all the good high end parts that FJ owners wish they had. I have listed 25 large photos and have also listed a video to show the FJ in greater detail that most sellers are ever willing to disclose.  Like I said I have nothing to hide (it's a nice one)  Not a rust bucket and not a project in the works = It's done and turn key ready to enjoy. The top and doors remove for open air summer fun. Fj will also be for sale outside Ebay and this listing will be removed early before the end of auction if FJ is sold out side Ebay. If listing is removed early then it has been sold. Your loss and buyers gain. So bid to own, it will sell fast - Nice RESTORED and RUST FREE FJ's always do. I have owned or restored 20 plus FJ's over the past 30 years and this one ranks at the top of the list. FJ is very Sanitary Inside and Out -Top to bottom.  Clear title to buyer when paid in full. All Factory Vin numbers and Vin plates still on FJ as they should be. The original Vin number is also still on frame as it should be. Pick up the phone and call seller direct if you would like to talk more detail about the FJ. Vehicle is garaged in Las Vegas Nevada at this time. Seller will hold vehicle in locked garage until buyer can pick up in person or have it picked up by auto transport . I have covered everything I can think of in this listing and im sure i have missed a few good things also, any questions just call me - Call 702-592-2181 anytime.  Enjoy the Photos and Video.

Recharge Wrap-up: Audi R18 e-tron Quattro wins WEC opener, Toyota Mirai goes to DC

Tue, Apr 14 2015

The Audi R18 e-tron Quattro has won the World Endurance Championship season opener at Silverstone. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer piloted the number 7 hybrid racecar to a hard-fought win in the six-hour UK race. "This victory is a dream start of the season and a great reward for the whole squad for the hard work last winter," says Audi Motorsport boss Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich, congratulating the team. Audi's second R18 took fifth place in the race after a couple of unscheduled pit stops ate up precious time. Read more in the press release from Audi, below. Mini and Spanish designer Jaime Hayon are presenting new versions of the Mini Citysurfer electric scooter concept at Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy. The installation, called "Urban Perspectives" depicts an idea of the future of urban mobility. The imaginary living space houses two examples of the Citysurfer concept designed by Hayon. The first is painted to resemble blue and while porcelain, with dots and stripes to give it an upbeat look. The second uses more upscale materials like anodized metal, copper and leather to blend modern and classical elements. The foldable Citysurfer scooter can travel 10 to 15 miles on a charge, and is designed fit and charge inside the trunk of a Mini Cooper. Read more from Mini. Tesla has announced the locations of its first Superchargers in Australia. It will install eight charging booths at the Goulburn Visitor's Centre, about 120 miles southwest of Sydney.

New drifting world record set in Toyota GT86

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept

Sat, Nov 22 2014

"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.
