This is a very rare 1 owner 1965 fj40 california black plate survivor! I am pretty sure this was sold out of the Stancil motors dealership in placerville, a very well known dealership in the 60's. the original owner parked it in his backyard from 1999 thru 2011 when I purchased from a tow company who were asked to remove it from the property. they did a lien sale and I have all the proper paper work to reregister the vehicle. It retains its original california black plates. This is an amazing surviving example and would be easy to restore as every little detail is there.It still has its original koito headlights,radiator cap with chain,horns, horn relay with plastic cover,oil fill cap with chain,front drive lock out pin with chain, drivers seat release pins with chains,jack,handles, kkk lock on tool box,most of its original coral seat upholstry,rear jump seat straps intact , reading light,last year for the bifold top (complete with working hardware) This fj40 runs great, shifts smooth, stops fine,it even has tin master and clutch slave cylinders! Original big window asian idles perfectly.I had to rebuild the head due to sticky valves from the old fuel.I also put a newer gas tank in ( not correct but comes with the original ( needs to be cleaned and sealed but rust free) It retains its original paint paint so what you see is what you get ,no hidden rust or bondo.The rear sil does have the normal rust and the front of the right rear wheel well has a little rust through (see pic) other than that the body is rock solid as is the frame for a 49 year old vehicle. I dont believe the top has ever been off.Some of the lights and electrical need need work(wiring harness is in great shape) The only non original add ons were the front spot lights,rear add on tail lights in the top and a radio in the dash. It has a dealer heater all intact,rare pintle hitch and rear step,original rear lights and brackets(rare these days)It has an original dunlop rk3 spare tire that has never been on the ground as well as all 5 acorn hubcaps.These early fj40's are getting hard to find now and restored examples are now selling at auction for big bucks,you can enjoy as is or do a concours restoration of a classic fj40 that will only go up in value.I have too many landcruiser so its time to pass this on to the next enthusiest.this will be a NO RESERVE auction, high bidder wins! You must have good feedback to bid, look at my feedback it should look the same.Last vehicle I sold was a non paying buyer,please dont waste my time.I will help load onto shipper,and once paid for I can store it as long as needed. This is sold with a bill of sale and all proper lien sale paperwork to retitle(I do not hold a title in my name) there should be no issue getting a title. Located in the bay area california ( never been out of california) Please ask questions before bidding,good luck!!

Jeep rear-mounted fuel tank controversy

Toyota Avalon celebrates 20 years with Touring Sport Edition

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Toyota Avalon may not have the sportiest image on the market. Heck, it doesn't even have the sportiest image in the Toyota lineup. But the Japanese automaker is out to fix that perception, at least a little bit, with the launch of the new Touring Sport Edition.
Announced together with some minor updates to the entire Avalon line - consisting primarily of enhanced safety and infotainment systems - the Avalon XLE Touring Sport Edition celebrates the 20th anniversary of Toyota's large sedan line. Setting this special edition apart are a black paintjob, HID headlights, LED daytime running lights, 18-inch alloys (similar in design to those on the Scion FR-S) and an interior decked out with perforated leather with dark blue trim... plus, of course, the requisite special badges inside and out.
Only 2,500 units will be offered with a $37,170 sticker price that puts it near (if not quite at) the top of the Avalon range that's capped by the $41,700 Avalon Hybrid Limited. Pricing has increased on most models by around two percent, and you can scope out all the details of the updates to the full range in the press releases below.

Toyota's Bob Carter says seat heater stop-sale due to inconsequential compliance error

Sat, Feb 8 2014

Last week, Toyota let it be known that a number of its more-popular vehicles were subject to a "stop-sale" order due to faulty seat heaters on these vehicles. No injuries were reported, but the problem affected a lot of models, including the 2013 and 2014 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, Sienna, Corolla, Tacoma and Tundra. Toyota originally said 50,000 vehicles were involved, but Bob Carter, senior vice president of automotive operations for Toyota Motor Sales, knocked that down to 30,000 during an interview at the Chicago Auto Show this week and said that the problem is not going to have a big impact on Toyota's sales. "It's an important situation but it will have a very minor impact on February sales," he told AutoblogGreen. "Dealers will start receiving new heating elements this week and then we have a process to take out the heating element that was put in and exchange that for the new fabric. It's very simple. It's a quick repair." Quick in this situation means about three hours to swap out the heating elements in two seats, according to Toyota's John Hanson. Since the Avalon also has heated rear seats, that car will require a total of six hours in the shop. Hanson said there was no official timeline for when the exchange program would be completed, "but new vehicles are arriving at some dealerships with the new seat heaters already installed." With a fix already in place, Carter would not comment on whether a recall is likely, saying only, "I'm not the expert on that. We're working with the NHTSA and ultimately it's their decision. We believe it's an inconsequential compliance error that was made by one of our suppliers and we're going to correct it."
