Selling a very rare, low mileage, rust free 1964 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser in excellent condition. I am losing part of my garage storage this winter and am selling off a few pieces in my classic car collection for space considerations only.

The previous owner restored this truck about 10 years ago and it has had very light use since (about 10,000 miles since the restoration). This model has the very rare bi-fold rear window hard top. Here's the history of the truck that I received from the previous owner:

It was purchased as a rust free Colorado truck in 2001. The original color was desert tan and had about 70,000 miles on the clock. The owner met another FJ collector who was about to modify his nice original 1975 FJ40 with a new Chevy crate 350 engine (a popular upgrade on FJ's), new 5 speed transmission and Recarro seats (I have trouble understanding why anyone would do this to a nice original FJ, but that's just me). So, the owner of this rig bought the entire engine, 4 speed transmission and 4-wheel drive transfer box, rear end/drive train and front seats from that 75 FJ which had only 37,000 original miles. The frame was removed and the truck was painted white and all the previous mentioned components and seats were installed. The 64's originally had a smaller engine and 3 on the tree transmission. So, this is essentially an earlier model FJ40 with a more modern and powerful running gear that now has only 47,000 miles on it. While I have no history on the carburetor- at appears fairly new. Please note that the engine info listed by ebay is incorrect- it apparently defaults and cannot be deleted.

This FJ looks great and runs great. There is no rust anywhere except for a few very small surface spots (less than the size of a penny) that I've sanded and touched up. The 10 year old paint has held up very nicely and has a nice shine. It has always been garaged since being restored. All glass is excellent, floors are solid.

I've never removed the hard top because I haven't had a place to store it. As shown in the photo's, the rear bi-fold window opens, and coupled with the front under-window vents, keeps it cool in warm weather driving. That said, I have a brand new (still in the box) bikini top that will come with the truck as well as a nice set of black soft doors. You may be able to see in one of the photo's that the hard top has a handsome custom gray felt headliner that is embroidered with "1964 Toyota Land Cruiser". It looks cool, serves as great roof insulation and quiets outside noises.

This FJ has a brand new Diehard Gold battery and installed on-board charger if you opt to store it for longer periods during the winter. I recently added a pair of roof load bars and a basket roof rack. There's an old school am-fm tape deck under the dash with great sounding rear surface mounted speakers. The Michelin tires are nearly new on 15 inch wheels. Rear mudflaps are either NOS or superb reproductions- they are nearly impossible to find. I have a reproduction of the original owners manual for the new owner.

There are a few minor needs... my turn signals and brake lights are out. Fuses look OK so it may only be a ground wire. The bi-fold window goes up and down and locks into place when up, however there is some missing hardware that would allow you to lock the window when closed.

Trades? I really need the garage space so trades don't solve my reason for selling. That said- my particular interest is classic Saab's and Volvo's so I'd listen to a partial trade if you have something of interest for a Volvo 1800, 122 or 544...or Saab 95, 96 or Sonett. I'll listen to reasonable offers and the truck is also for sale locally so the auction may be ended early. I'm happy to show the FJ by appointment. Feel free to bring along your mechanic too. This is a very rare truck and if you've been looking at old FJ's you already know how prices have been soaring over the past few years. This is a fun truck and a great investment for the right buyer.

Toyota pimps out Esquire van for Japanese businessmen [w/video]

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

A few months back we reported on a dealership owner in Japan who was petitioning Toyota to make a luxury van. The problem, he reasoned, was that he couldn't take as many friends, colleagues and clients around with him in his Lexus LS, and his Toyota Alphard van wasn't luxurious enough. Well, it seems like he wasn't alone, and Toyota has listened.
The Japanese auto giant has just revealed the Esquire, a new luxury van designed with just such customers in mind. It's significantly smaller than the Sienna we get in America, smaller than the aforementioned Alphard and about the same size as (this writer's favorite) the JDM Noah van (on which we gather it's based). But what sets the Esquire apart is its upscale appearance.
The boxy van is distinguished by its dominant T-shaped chrome grille with a unique emblem that encompasses a shield, sword, "the collar of a gentleman's suit" and the letters Esq. The flank is characterized by a strong beltline with chrome lower window frame and an expansive greenhouse with tinted rear glass. Inside the flexible cabin you'll find accommodation for seven or eight passengers (depending on specification), synthetic leather upholstery and wood and metallic trim. There are even wheelchair-enabled models on offer as well.

What to do if the infotainment in your Lexus isn't working

Wed, Jun 8 2016

According to Toyota, "errant data from our traffic and weather data service provider" caused the infotainment systems in 2014-2016 Lexus vehicles and the 2016 Toyota Land Cruiser to go into some sort of endless reboot loop. The video above shows what that looks like, in case you're interested. Obviously, it's not good – the malfunction means the audio systems, navigation and climate control systems aren't working properly, and that the hands-free mobile phone function won't work. Apparently, some owners were able to manually fix their cars by disconnecting the battery cables for 10 minutes, which forces the car's computer systems to restart. But Toyota isn't officially suggesting that people take that action. Instead, "Toyota and Lexus owners experiencing these issues should visit their dealer for a complimentary system reset and a confirmation of the system," the automaker said in a statement. It's worth noting that issues with the usability of modern infotainment systems have caused customer satisfaction scores to drop. Lexus, though, has been mostly immune to such complaints, having come in first place in J.D. Power's most recent Vehicle Dependability study. Not that you should automatically trust those findings, anyway... Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
