1962 Toyota FJ45 Land Cruiser
- RUST FREE
- ORIGINAL BODY IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION
- MECHANICALLY SOUND AND SOLID
- FRONT DISC BRAKES
- DAILY DRIVER CONDITION
- RIGHT HAND DRIVE, NEW ZEALAND IMPORT IN 2004
Offered for sale is a 1962 Toyota FJ45. This truck was purchased via Ebay and imported from New Zealand in 2004 (shipping cost was approximately $2,000) by the previous owner. It is the cleanest, most solid Land Cruiser I have ever run across. The truck is practically, if not entirely, rust free with solid original floorpans and exterior. All major mechanical work done to the truck was done in New Zealand to high standards, including certification thereof (apparently a requirement in New Zealand). Work done there included a 350 Chevy V-8 conversion along with a Chevy TH400 rebuilt (March 2004) automatic transmission with a B&M floor shift, upgrade to FJ60 axles with front disc brakes, steering column and steering box. (Approximately $8,000 in receipts were retained). The Vehicle bears a 2004 New Zealand 'Warrant of Fitness' window decal along with an affixed metal plate. Also, a certificate of registration dating back to 1965 goes with the vehicle's documentation.The vehicle was also repainted in New Zealand and has minor surface and paint imperfections, but does not require repainting, at least in my opinion.
The FJ45 both runs and drives great. Brakes are great and also power. Steering is tight and solid, but is not power. All lights and gauges work, with oil pressure and water temp in dash gages added. Speedo works and appears to have been converted from kms. Dual electric windshield wipers work, as does turn signals. Horn is currently activated by toggle switch, but should be able to be wired into the steering column with the addition of a horn relay. Floor shifted four wheel drive works and is paired with original locking front hubs. Toyota shoulder strap style seat belts installed. All glass is good, including dual rear sliding glass windows. Rear air shocks. New battery, plugs, points, condenser, coil, and starter. Engine has an electric fan wired to ignition switch, Holley 4bbl., and Edelbrock intake. No leaks from engine, trans, or differentials. Tires are 31x10.5x15 in very good condition and tread. Side and windshield frame vents. No heater installed. Documented mileage indicates a total of 146,275 kms- most likely.
I bought this FJ45 on impulse in February while looking for an FJ40 to restore. I have recently acquired an FJ40, so the FJ45 is for sale. My 18 yr. old son and I have enjoyed driving it over the summer, but we are looking forward to finishing the FJ40. The FJ45 is solid, reliable, and a good driver or I would not have let my son in it. the longest trip we've taken it has been about 80 miles, but I wouldn't hesitate to drive it farther. The previous owner drove it from the Port of Savannah, GA to Atlanta in 2004.
The spare pictured in the rear bed is not included in the sale. It is an original 16" Toyota steel wheel, and if the buyer desires, the wheels and tires shown can be swapped for the full set of 7.00x16 steel wheels and tires, including the spare, which are original to this vehicle.

Toyota demos its TRD Pro Series line [w/video]
Fri, 07 Feb 2014With a rich history of creating off-road worthy trucks and SUVs and a somewhat bland impression of its brand overall, Toyota has wisely created a line of TRD Pro Series vehicles to spice up its showrooms and newly engage customers. Debuting at this year's Chicago Auto Show before rolling into dealers this fall, the TRD-tuned vehicles include the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra, all with added rough-road gear and amped-up looks.
The TRD Pro Series trucks might end up, in many cases, as lifestyle accessories for outdoorsy types, but that doesn't mean they're all show. TRD springs and Bilstein dampers are set up for off-road performance, while skid plates will protect the softish underbellies of these would-be rock-crawlers. The trio all get lifted over stock height, as well, with two-inch gains for the Tundra and Tacoma (lovingly referred to as "Taco Supreme" in the Toyota press release), and an inch-and-a-half rise for the 4Runner.
We detailed all of the changes to the Pro Series vehicles in our original announcement post, and you'll also find more granularity of information in the Toyota press release below. Before you dive in, however, be sure to take in our set of live, action-packed images from the Chicago Show floor.
Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
Toyota C-HR hybrid crossover coupe concept leak ahead of Paris
Sun, 21 Sep 2014Last week, Toyota previewed an upcoming concept called the C-HR and promised it would debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. It didn't say much more or give us anything beyond a silhouette and the shape of the lights, but here we have the first images of the finalized form.
The C-HR envisions a hybrid crossover coupe with angular styling that looks ready to take on the Nissan Juke. It's far sportier than a RAV4, and looks closer to how we'd imagine the next-generation Scion FR-S would look like if it were riding on a jacked-up suspension - with some show car elements thrown in for good measure, like a gloating roof, radical lighting and the usual absence of door handles and usable wing mirrors.
Of course, this being a Toyota concept, it packs a hybrid powertrain, although specifications did not leak out along with the images. Overall the form looks pretty striking, if decidedly unsubtle. We'll look forward to bringing you more as the Paris show rapidly approaches.
