This is a very rare and collectable 1967 Toyota FJ45. These vehicles were only imported into the United States for four years 1963 to 1967, so there are not that many available in this category. There are other later models available in the US right now, but they have all been imported from Australia, New Zealand or other countries and are not originally US vehicles.

This is a long wheel base pickup model and is not in perfect condition, but could be restored. It does have some rust in the normal places and one of my goals was to retard any further corrosion.

Here is an article from a magazine that gives a good account of this vehicle.

"Vintage Monday: Toyota FJ45 Land Cruiser
By Lindsey Fisher posted on Mar 31, 2014 in Car Features, History

The Toyota Land Cruiser is about as timeless as they come, having been introduced to the market in 1951 with continued production into the present. But some Land Cruiser models aren't as well-known as others, like the FJ45, for example.

Introduced in the United States in 1963, this particular model didn't stick around long, being retired in 1967. But that's exactly why we like it! Not only was the FJ45 part of the famed 40 line of Land Cruisers it remains a rarity today, making it the perfect topic of this week's Vintage Monday!

With the availability of FJ40 Land Cruisers in the United States lasting over 20 years, its no surprise that a number of sub-models came out of its run. One of them was the rare FJ45, available for just four years.

Built with the same drivetrain as the FJ40, the FJ45 was produced simultaneously with the more famous model; the difference was that the FJ45 offered different body-style options for a number of differing needs. These included a short bed pickup, long bed pickup and a four-door wagon.

The FJ45 short bed pickup is said to be the most rare of American FJ45 models.

For the larger long bed pickup model, consumers would get a two-door cab (with removable doors) and a squared truck bed with side tie-down loops and a removable hard top. Similarly, the short bed pickup also came with a tow-door cab but featured a rounded bed with beveling around the top rim.

Just like the long bed, the smaller truck could be had with a removable hardtop and doors, but also came with a fixed top (and door) option. The wagon featured the most interior space, with four doors instead of the FJ40?s standard two-door setup.

Because of these differing styles, the FJ45 models had a seating capacity of three to six people.

Constructed atop a semi-elliptical leaf spring suspension system, the FJ45 models offered cargo carrying capacities not seen in the FJ40s with the bonus of four-wheel drive and 3,500 pounds of towing capacity.

Depending on which model was purchased, the FJ45s could range in length from 166.5 inches to 183.5 inches with wheelbases stretching between 95.7 inches and 104.3 inches. No matter what the sub-model's size, however, they were all equipped with hydraulic drum brakes on all four corners and an 18.5-gallon fuel tank.

Powering the FJ45 models was the same carbureted 3.9L inline-6 F engine used in the early FJ40 models, offering 125 HP at 3,600 RPM and 209 pound-feet of torque at 2,000 RPM. This was backed by a three-speed manual transmission. Gas mileage for the model was in the range of 11 to 16 MPG, depending on where you were driving.

Much like the FJ40s, the FJ45 models are known for their undeniable reliability, sparked from demands on the Toyota Motor Corporation in the 1950s to create a 4WD military/police vehicle for the troops stationed in Japan. This is how the original Land Cruiser came about and the FJ40 sub-models followed suit.

As we stated before, the FJ45 didn't last long in the market and was replaced in 1968 by the FJ55, another Land Cruiser sub-model manufactured simultaneously with the popular FJ40 model. This model provided more space for passengers and more luxury amenities. But that's a model for a different Vintage Monday!"

This FJ45 is a great candidate for a frame off restoration. This truck runs and is mostly original with a fresh 1973 F155 Toyota 6 cylinder engine with a three speed.

Things I have recently done to this FJ45:
- Replaced both front fenders
- Replaced driver door
- New apron emblems
- New stainless steel apron/hood hooks
- New grille emblem
- New dog dish hubcaps
- New driver side front brake line
- New front door bolt kits
- New fender bolt kits
- New front turn signals
- New driver side mirror (not mounted yet)
- Added two jerry cans (one will actually contain a tool kit.

I continue to freshen this vehicle and am ready to turn it over to a new owner. I have left the interior alone and it remains as when I acquired it. I am retiring to Thailand and am unable to import this car there or else I would love to take it with me. This vehicle is for serious Toyota enthusiasts and it is becoming more and more difficult to find these US models of the FJ45.

Toyota's 'green bond' an industry first, quickly rises to $1.75 billion

Tue, Mar 25 2014

Toyota is greasing the skids for more green car purchases with the announcement of a $1.75-billion bond designed to finance the purchase of high-efficiency Toyota and Lexus models. The Asset-Backed Green Bond is a first for the automotive industry and is making a lot of money available to buy or lease the following vehicles: any of the four Prius variants, Camry Hybrid, Avalon Hybrid, RAV4 EV, Lexus CT 200h and Lexus ES 300h. Originally, the bond was set at $1.25 billion, but Justin Leach, manager of public relations for Toyota Financial Services (TFS), told AutoblogGreen that demand was high and it was quickly oversubscribed. TFS has been looking at more ways to diversify its portfolio after a Diversity & Inclusion Bond that was announced in early 2013 and, with the new Green Bond, TFS is offering something for the "number of investors out there who are looking for investment opportunities in green." The way the money from the bond is used, basically, is that TFS takes the $1.75 billion and uses it to finance the purchase or lease of the nine vehicles listed above. As of right now, all the eligible vehicles are plug-in or hybrids, but the rules simply say that the cars in the program have to meet certain "powertrain, fuel efficiency and emissions" criteria. That means: Minimum EPA estimated MPG (or MPG equivalent for alternative fuel vehicles) of 35 city / 35 highway California Low-Emission Vehicle II (LEV II) certification of super ultra-low emission vehicles (SULEVs) or higher, which would include partial zero emissions vehicles (PZEVs) and zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs). TFS raises plenty of billions in other ways for the rest of the lineup, and got into asset backed securities in 2010, Leach said. Given the success of this first Green Bond, Leach said he expects TFS to keep this idea in its arsenal. "This one was so well received, I would be surprised if we didn't see it again," he said. "If anyone was going to do it, it should be Toyota, right?" Toyota Financial Services (TFS) Issues Auto Industry's First-Ever Asset-Backed Green Bond Bond Proceeds to Fund Consumer Loans and Leases for Toyota's Leading Portfolio of Green Vehicles TORRANCE, Calif., (March 24, 2014) – Toyota Financial Services (TFS) issued the auto industry's first-ever Asset-Backed Green Bond in the amount of $1.75 billion.

Recharge Wrap-up: TRD Toyota Prius, new Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell dealer

Wed, Sep 23 2015

A new study predicts that biofuels capacity will grow to 61 billion gallons per year by 2018. The findings from Lux Research also suggest that biodiesel and ethanol will make up 96 percent (about 5.76 billion gallons) of that. Sixty-four percent of biofuels will come from the Americas, led by the US and Brazil, but with Colombia and Argentina emerging as important producers. Other large emerging producers are China, Indonesia, and Thailand in Asia, and Portugal, Poland, and France in Europe. A large share of next-generation biofuels are expected to come from waste oils.

The images show what are likely cosmetic upgrades for the JDM version of the hybrid, including a rear spoiler, front spoiler lip, extended side skirts and a selection of wheels ranging from 15 to 18 inches. Also shown are LED daytime running lights and a dual-tip, centrally mounted exhaust. Expect to see the official reveal of the TRD Prius at the Tokyo Motor Show, where there will surely be more details about the add-ons, including the possibility of some interior features.

Toyota R&D shows off free piston engine linear generator for future EVs

Thu, May 1 2014

We often hear how an electric vehicle powertrain architecture allows vehicle designers much more freedom than a traditional ICE powertrain does. With differently shaped battery modules and small electric motors, there are lots of way to put the pieces together. With today's plug-in hybrid technology, engineers still need to put a decent-sized ICE somewhere, but new technology from Toyota could free up the gas-electric vehicle designers of the future. Presented at the recent SAE World Congress in Detroit, the idea from Toyota Central R&D Labs Inc. and involves what is called a Free Piston Engine Linear Generator (FPEG). Think of it as a sort of one-cylinder, two-stroke mini-engine that can work either as a generator (thank to magnets and a linear coil) or to directly drive a vehicle. The current prototype is a 10-kW unit that Toyota say would provide enough power to get a B- or C-segment electric vehicle up to highway speeds (75 miles per hour) when paired up to offer 20 kW. Pairing the FPEGs is also important to minimize vibrations. One system tested by Toyota had a 42 percent thermal efficiency, but the engineers are working to improve the overall efficiency even further. You can watch an animated video of the piston in action here (click on "Outline") and see the SAE papers here and here. More technical details are available at Green Car Congress.
