1965 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj45 Pickup on 2040-cars
Olympia, Washington, United States
|
1965 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pickup. This FJ45 has spent the bulk of its life in Arizona with the last 12 years in a dry, low humidity part of Washington state. I bought this truck because it didn't have any rust in it which is unheard of in these rigs. I then commenced a complete six month frame off restoration. The engine and transmission are not original to this truck. The anemic F1 engine has been replaced by an F2 engine with 20,000 original miles. The 3 speed has been replaced with a later 4 speed transmission. Power steering was installed to aid in the comfort of driving while at low speeds and in tight surroundings. The truck is repainted in its original color, Horizon Blue. The paint is show quality. The pickup bed has been sprayed with Horizon Blue bed liner.
This is the convertible version of the FJ45 pickup. The top and doors are easily removed and the windshield can be laid down flat on the hood. The winch is early Japanese made and appears to be original to the truck. I have not undercoated the FJ deciding to leave it natural because of its high quality condition. The engine has not been detailed, which I will leave to you. If you are a perfectionist, you may want to replace the original tailgate, which is not perfect. The restoration was performed by a team of professionals that I have used at least a dozen times over the last 15 years. They are chosen for the quality of their work, not for the fees they charge. Excellence is the goal. This truck starts, runs and drives very well. Everything works, except for the horn, which I have elected to not hook up. Everything on this truck has been inspected and refurbished, if necessary, always striving to use original parts when available. We've done our best to maintain the originality of this truck. It is a stunning restoration that will last for another 50 years! |

Toyota fills in details about its future design direction and global platform
Fri, 25 Oct 2013
"In the future, out of 100 customers, we want to excite ten of them instead of not offending all 100."
Almost all of the details about the Toyota New Group Architecture (TNGA) strategy have come out since the initiative was first reported on in March of this year, but Autoblog did learn a few new things about it on a recent trip to Japan. Probably the second-most important detail is that each new segment platform will be based around a common hip point to create an "optimal driving position architecture."

2014 Toyota Corolla details leaked
Thu, 09 May 2013Toyota will launch the 2014 Corolla later this year, and thanks to the ever-leaky internet, a couple of key details about the new sedan have been revealed. Car and Driver was able to uncover these bits of information thanks to someone at a Toyota dealer in Kansas who has seen the car, as well as its order guide, though the dealer's site has since removed its original posting.
We got our first glimpse at the next-generation Corolla's design at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, where Toyota unveiled the Furia concept, pictured above. Yes, it looks all sporty and aggressive, but fear not, appliance shoppers, C/D says that the production car should have a couple of Furia bits mixed in with a huge helping of Camry-inspired styling.
The 2014 Corolla will reportedly continue to use a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, though the mill has been massaged a bit, adding Toyota's Valvematic continuously variable valve timing. A four-speed automatic (yep!) will be offered in the base model, though the manual transmission now has six gears, and higher trim levels can be had with a CVT. Both engine output and fuel economy numbers should improve slightly over the 2013 model. Currently, the Corolla produces 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and achieves 27/34 miles per gallon (city/highway) with the five-speed manual 'box.
