1970 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
THIS ITEM WAS SOLD ON EBAY A COUPLE WEEKS AGO BUT THE BUYER DID NOT PAY.
I am selling my 1970 Toyota fj40. Has a rebuilt chevy small block 400 motor. Starts up every time. Leave for 6 months and come back and she starts right up. I have owned it for 4 years and have never had a problem with it. Has a 5" lift with new 35" tires and 18"wheels. Magna flow dual exhaust. Bed liner throughout the cabin that looks perfect and brand new. Roll cage from the front of the Fj to the back tires wheel wells. Fenders are bolted into the roll bar. Interior is a 9 out of a 10. not sure what i have to do to make it a 10 out of 10, just being modest. The canopy is in great shape. Its painted in a flat black and in the interior ceiling it is sprayed in white rhino lining. No keys to start this baby. All race car start with switches and a hidden kill switch. 3 speed Automatic. Aluminum half doors that nobody has. power steering. Eye catching car. Since i have owned it and painted it, it has never seen any off road. If you are looking for an off roader this car is ready to go, might be a little to nice to beat up though. But if you want to make it a show car its pretty close. I purchased the fj in oregon and had it shipped down to Az. Previous owner built the fj to be a off roader but my intentions were to get it to perfect and have it be a daily driver and look flawless. was well on my way but decided to buy another project (67 mustang fastback) and all my funds went towards the stang. Reason for selling is that i would like make the mustang my sole focus so i can get it to where i want it to be. The fj has been very reliable for me. Put around 2000 miles on it 4 years. Didnt drive it too much. But when i did drive the fj it was great. Motor and exhaust sound beefy and mean. I drove it all over the valley in phoenix az. Drove great on the highway, just cruised at 55 to 60. All and all this is a great looking Fj that has a straight as can be body in exception of one tiny dent on the front drivers side fender minor flaws The turn signal switch is a little quirky, it works but you have to hold it a certain way. Back right tail light works when you push your breaks but not when the car is just on with lights on. Minor cracks in paint in a couple places. Fenders will need to be re painted, due to some cracks in the paint from storage. Rarely had the fenders on, i liked the way it looked without them. looks like some of the chrome on the headers is coming off. All of these flaws are very minor, like it said earlier if u want a show car this is very close to being what you need. If you have any questions just give me a call at 480-621-0888 or email through ebay. I have more than 15k into it but i know the market for these doesnt sell where i could break even. So hopefully it goes ok so i dont loose too much. Have fun my name is Aaron Good Luck |

Toyota holds onto crown of World's Largest Automaker
Thu, Jan 22 2015Although there were hints and allegations that the Volkswagen Group might have taken the global sales crown for 2014, the final tally puts Toyota at the top with 10.23 million sales in 2014. We should really say it keeps Toyota at the top, since that makes three years in a row the Japanese company has been No. 1. Volkswagen Group came in second with 10.14 million units sold, General Motors in third with 9.92 million units sold. This the first time for both Toyota and Volkswagen to pass 10 million sales in a single year. Toyota, including its Hino and Daihatsu divisions, did it with a three-percent increase in company-wide sales on the back of strong demand in Japan and the US. Its strength in developed markets might be the reason it loses the title this year, though; Toyota forecasts a two-percent gain in sales outside of Japan, but a nine-percent drop in its home market because of a new consumption tax that encouraged buyers to purchase before the end of last year. On top of that, turmoil in Southeast Asian economies like Thailand and Indonesia depressed sales in 2014 and they're facing more headwinds. The company envisions 10.15 million sales in 2015. Volkswagen, on the other hand, "has a jet engine strapped to its back called 'China,'" where Toyota is out-of-sorts. Volkswagen Group sales fell 2.9 percent in the US last year, while Toyota gained 6.2 percent here. But Volkswagen roped in 3.7 million sales in China, a 12-percent increase. Toyota enjoyed a huge bump of 12.5 percent in China, but that only got it to 1.03 million units, missing its yearly target and leading to trouble with its Chinese dealers over unsold inventory. With Toyota on the Chinese sidelines while Volkswagen guns for No. 1 status and pledges more production capacity in China – sales there are expected to top 25 million units this year – it looks like this could be the year the VW Group takes over the lead. That would be three years ahead of its original target of 2018. An analyst in Japan said Toyota is more focused on "keeping profitability than chasing numbers" – profitability is an issue for VW right now – so Toyota might not be back at the top "for [the] coming years."

Toyota Me.We concept is a multifunction Tupperware car [w/video]
Wed, 24 Apr 2013Not to be outdone by the Renault Twin'Z concept penned by Welsh designer Ross Lovegrove, Toyota has partnered up with French designer Jean-Marie Massaud to create the 2013 Toyota Me.We Concept. Unveiled at Le Rendez-vous Toyota in Paris, the Me.We Concept is an attempt to imagine a car that can be appreciated by owners across a wide variety of lifestyles while being courteous to the environment, too.
From a "Me" perspective, the concept is highly customizable with removable body panels, and even though it might look like just a small hatchback from the outside, Toyota claims it can also be used as a pickup (with an extendable rear panel), a convertible (with a neoprene roof panel) and even an off-road vehicle. As for the "We" part of the car, it's a fully electric vehicle with individual in-wheel motors and a battery pack mounted under the load floor. The concept has a weight of around 1,600 pounds kept low thanks to an aluminum chassis, but it also features renewable bamboo wood for the floor in addition to the fully recyclable polypropylene exterior body panels.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall.
