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!!

2014 Toyota Corolla to bow before LA

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

We've sort of been wondering when Toyota would finally debut the next-generation Corolla sedan, especially since the current car is getting very, very long in the tooth. We got a glimpse of the new compact's design at this year's Detroit Auto Show in the form of the Furia concept seen above, but we figured we'd see the production car by now.
According to Edmunds, Toyota will be unveiling the new Corolla sometime soon, and it won't wait until the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. Officials from the Japanese automaker did not state a specific location or date for the new car's unveiling, but said that the 2014 Corolla is expected to be on sale before the LA expo later this year and that it will be revealed "somewhere in the US."
Toyota did not divulge any details about the new Corolla, and we're willing to bet that the aggressive lines of the Furia concept will be dulled down quite a bit for the production model. Still, news that the new car is coming sooner rather than later is indeed a good thing.

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.

Toyota GT86 convertible on 'indefinite hold'

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

Bad news, sportscar fans. According to a new report from What Car?, Toyota has cancelled plans to produce a GT86 convertible, a model based on the FT-86 Open Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. In truth, Toyota never actually confirmed it would produce the budget-friendly droptop in the first place, but rumors have been flying since last year and Toyota reportedly showed its embattled Scion dealers a FR-S version of the convertible in August. Presumably, this means that a lidless variant of the Subaru BRZ is not in the cards, either.
The reason for the move is unknown, though What Car? reports "one possible cause is weight; Toyota did say that further work would be required on rigidity before the convertible could be launched, and that could have added extra bulk that conflict with the regular GT86's ethos of light weight and agile handling." It doesn't look like that work will happen anytime soon, as "sources now say that the car has now been delayed indefinitely, with no place in Toyota's product plan in either 2014 or 2015." Still holding out hope? What Car? says the project could be "fast-tracked" if management decides it wants to reboot the program down the road.
