1969 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 Convertible/hardtop on 2040-cars
Weston, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1969 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with a Chevrolet 350 Throttle Body Fuel Injected V-8. This truck was purchased a few years ago, out of Dallas, TX by the previous owner. It spent its life dry. It is a solid truck with all original metal and no rust.
The previous owner was a regular at Caffeine & Carburetors (http://) in New Canaan, CT, where the truck drew a strong crowd. Be prepared to get compliments wherever you go. The truck is always garaged, both at home and at work, but I drive it daily, so it does have some small blemishes. It was painted Corvette Targa Blue about 2 years ago. It was also outfitted with all new emblems from Toyota, new stainless steel hood latches, new windshield latches, and a billet aluminum hood ornament. Little touches like the high-mount brake light indicate the care that went into the details during the restoration. The truck drives smooth and steers easy -- people often comment that it doesn't drive like a 44 year old vehicle. The power steering and power disc brakes at each of the 4 corners make it effortless, smooth, and fun. It shifts easy. It tracks straight. * This truck always starts up with no hesitation and no pumping the gas (fuel injection) * 4WD works great * Engine Mileage: 9,200 * Chassis Mileage: ~112,000 Many upgrades: * New master/slave clutch cylinder * New starter * 4 wheel disc brakes * GM power steering * Rebuilt 1974 Toyota 4 speed transmission with a Ranger Torque Splitter for a 27% overdrive on the highway * Rebuilt 1976 4 speed transfer case * Shackle Reversal kit with 2.5" new front springs and 4" rear springs * 4 stock Toyota steel wheels and new hub caps with BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A (33X10.50X15 BFG KM2’s) * Pioneer stereo with auxiliary port * Custom subwoofer in Jerry Gas Can * Custom Gauges * Front Toyota bucket seats recovered with head rests * Center console (Tuffy) with lock system for storage. Included in the sale: * Full hardtop: white top panel with sides painted in matching Corvette Targa Blue * Pair of full hard-doors, painted in matching Corvette Targa Blue * Full custom soft top with bows/frame * Bikini top w/ zipper-window panel for behind driver/passenger Potential for inclusion in the sale: * 5 aluminum rims with 4 Futura Dakota RVT (33X12.50X15) ...as seen on the spare * Full second roll-bar * Pair of full soft-doors (black) * A second vinyl reproduction soft-top with bows * Rear bench seat * Pair of fender flares Issues: * Fuel gauge is not accurate: shouldn’t be hard to adjust the float but I generally just fill it up at 1/2 tank. * Radio is not working but should be easy to fix — haven’t had the time and the engine plays a nice tune. * Emergency brake is currently disconnected because the drum was rubbing a bit. I hate to sell this truck, and it’s been a difficult decision, but I’ve started driving further to work these days and it’s hard to justify putting those miles on this kind of vehicle. If I could keep it as a third car, I would. I’m looking to find somebody who'll give this ruck a good home and will enjoy it as much as I have. I’m hoping for a local sale so I can see it around — maybe enabling me to buy it back someday. Because it’s for sale locally, there’s a chance that I’ll have to end the auction early — without advanced notice or explanation. A lot of money has been put into it by the previous owner and myself. At the reserve, you’d be getting a lot of truck for your money. If possible, I encourage you to come see/drive the vehicle but, if you had to purchase it sight-unseen, I'm sure that you won’t be disappointed. *CLARIFICATION: This vehicle does NOT have a title (but eBay doesn't have an option for title-doesn't-exist). State of CT doesn't require a title for vehicles older than 1981. If your state differs, you can likely get a replacement issued. It's currently registered and insured. * Pics @ Flickr * Video @ YouTube * Featured @ Caffeine & Carburetors via GnarlyFaction I will consider all reasonable offers and I will consider trades for late-model Jeep 4-door Wranglers with low miles. I’ll answer any questions as completely and as promptly as possible. Thanks for your interest and good luck in the auction. -M |

Sunday Drive: Big debuts from the Big Apple dominated the headlines
Sun, Apr 1 2018New York Auto Show week has come and gone, and, not surprisingly, the week's biggest bits of news came from the halls of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in NYC. Our favorite debut from New York was the Lincoln Aviator, a sharp-dresses crossover that looks lovely inside and out, and sits on underpinnings at least partly derived from the Ford Mustang. While the Aviator may have caught our attention, it wasn't the most popular vehicle debut from New York, at least when judging by the number of page views here on Autoblog. That distinction goes to the 2019 Toyota RAV4, and we're hardly surprised. The RAV4 is the most popular compact crossover in America (in fact it's the most popular vehicle that isn't a pickup truck), and the 2019 version looks like a radical departure from the model that came before. We can't wait to drive the thing. Midsize sedans may not be the darling of the family car set, that honor taken over by the aforementioned crossover, but they still sell in large enough numbers that a brand-new model catches our attention. Such is the case with the 2019 Nissan Altima. We broke down the specs of the Altima and compared Nissan's bread-and-butter sedan with its biggest rivals. And finally, we got some official figures for the 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt. It'll cost a cool $12,000 over the cost of a Mustang GT, and will benefit from a 480-horsepower, 420-pound-foot version of Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8 engine. As always, stay tuned this week for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print. 2018 New York Auto Show Mega Photo Gallery | Start spreading the news 2019 Toyota RAV4 actually looks pretty cool 2019 Nissan Altima vs Honda Accord vs Toyota Camry: How they compare 2019 Mustang Bullitt orders open as Ford reveals price and horsepower Image Credit: Drew Angerer/Getty New York Auto Show Ford Lincoln Nissan Toyota Coupe Crossover SUV Sedan 2018 new york auto show
Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank
Sat, 14 Jun 2014We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.
eBay Find of the Day: Harley-Davidson powered Toyota Prius [w/video]
Thu, 03 Apr 2014Sometimes we pluck cars from the listings of eBay Motors because they're old and interesting, some for being simply lovely, some for rarity and some for pure fun. And sometimes we pick eBay Finds of the Day, because they're hacked apart Toyota Prius' with Harley Davidson V-twin-power; concocted by the same mind that brought you innumerable Jalopnik articles and is partially responsible for the joy that is the 24 Hours of LeMons. This time it's that last one.
A fairly subtle tweet from long-time Jalop contributor and well-regarded grease monkey, Murilee Martin, hipped us to this crazy Frankenstein Prius. Built from the bones of a 2008 Toyota and the heart of a 1986 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, the motive portmanteau is, well... it's a thing.
Toyota's advanced Hybrid Synergy Drive has been unceremoniously wrenched and snipped out of the engine bay, making room (via an artful hole in the hood) for the towering, bored out V-twin. Or, as the maestro himself puts it:
