For sale is my 1969 FJ40 Landcruiser. I hate to see it parked on the side of the house, when I know someone else can enjoy it. I start it a couple times a year to get the fluids moving, and that is about it. When rebuilt (probably 10 years ago) the frame and body were sandblasted, epoxy primed, and painted. The suspension is a simple spring over conversion which equates to about six inches of lift with a shackle reversal, and the FJ currently has 35 x 12.5 x 15’s. The tread has almost 100% remaining, which goes to show how much it has not been driven. The motor is a rebuilt (professionally) small block 350 with Fuelie heads, and under 1000 miles. New headers and radiator round out the motor. The speedo cable is not hooked up, but I probably drove it less than 3 months after it was built. After that, I moved to another state, and it has literally been parked ever since. The drive train consists of a SM420 (Chevy) 4-speed transmission with the stock FJ transfer case (also rebuilt), all mounted to a Center Force clutch. The transfer case was converted to manual linkage removing the vacuum lines from the previous motor. The front end has a disc brake conversion, welded differential, and power steering. The interior of the FJ has a full cage and has been rhino lined. Additionally there are bucket seats, a soft top and a bikini top. Mounted on the front is a one off bumper, and a Warn 8000 pound winch. The cable is bound up, so it will need to be cut and replaced. Extras include a spare fuel tank in the rear, KC lights, and Auto Meter gauges (the water temp and volt meter need adjustment, or replacement). I have a warn winch kit, and a cover for the cruiser as well. The cover has a few tears, but I will include…at least it can be covered well if you choose to ship. The body is pretty straight as you can see in the pics, but it does have the standard “FJ Rot” in the rear. The FJ is ready to go, or could be a good start for a project, or additional modifying. I tried to get as many pics as I could to show each angle. I can try to get more if needed.

I have described the FJ as best as I can. Remember, it is a 1969. I have been asked so many questions in the past when I posted locally. Can it be a daily driver? Sure….if you don’t mind no doors, heat, A/C, music, or getting 8 miles to the gallon. Is it titled? It is, and I have it. How does it ride? Well…it actually rides pretty good considering the spring over. Drive it day one, or play with it a little and make it better. It is pretty solid, so you should be happy.

Buyer is responsible for shipping; that includes pick up, and shipping fees. I can drive it to the nearest shopping center or Home Depot parking lot for pick up if shipping. I live close to a few areas. I do require a non-refundable 10% deposit if purchased. Email if you have questions which were not answered.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.

2014 Toyota Highlander to start at $30,075*

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We now have pricing for Toyota's redesigned 2014 Highlander, which is seeing moderate price hikes across the board. Prices for the popular crossover have been bumped from less than 1 percent to less than 3 percent on lower-end models (anywhere from $125 to $890, depending on trim). Toyota has increased prices on higher-end XLE and Limited models more substantially - between 4.1 and 4.5 percent ($1,480 to $1,700). The Highlander Hybrid sees its price increase 2 percent ($930). The new model will be available in four different trims and with either front or all-wheel drive.
The absolute cheapest member of the Highlander range, the base LE, with a four-cylinder and front-wheel drive starts at $30,075, an increase of just $195. The LE is also available with a V6 and all-wheel drive, with the bigger engine upping the price to $31,380. All-wheel drive models start at $32,840. A slightly pricier LE Plus starts at $33,600 for a V6 FWD model and $35,060 if you add all-wheel drive.
Next up, we have the XLE, which starts at $36,900 for FWD models and moves up to $38,360 for AWD. The top-tier Limited model starts at $40,500 in FWD spec, grips-at-all-fours versions will retail for $41,960. For those that want the very top of the Highlander range, there's the Platinum Pack, which adds the Driver's Tech Pack (adaptive cruise control, pre-collision warning, lane departure warning and automatic high beams), a panoramic moonroof, heated steering wheel and heated second-row seats to the already well-equipped Limited model. Highlander Platinums start at $42,990 and $44,450, depending on how many tires are doing the work. (Note: All prices include an $860 destination and handling charge.)
