 Toyota Land Cruiser restoration shop offers this 1971 FJ40. This was a barn find; I have the truck running and driving. I went over the major components; this is a mild project for someone who likes to tinker.  I get frequent requests for cheaper priced Cruisers, this one fits the bill. I bought this truck from the original owner’s family in the high desert of eastern Oregon. The original owner passed in 1996, this vehicle sat in a barn from 1996 until I purchased it in 2013. Very hard to find original type not hacked up Cruisers these days. This truck needs little things and cosmetic work, great start for a mild restoration.

I have 94 pictures on a photobucket link, eBay will not let me post that on this add. I will post the link in the open at the bottom when a potential buyer asks me a question, check the bottom of the page, I will also email it as well.

HISTORY

The original owner bought this truck in 1971 from a dealer in Oregon. He drove the truck on his ranch, also to his other home in San Francisco on occasion. He had the original motor rebuilt in 1994, replaced the clutch at that time. He passed in 1996; the truck was stored in a barn until I bought it.  I place wanted ads, and hand out cards in all the little rural towns I travel through, about the only way to get these type of barn find Cruisers.  Owner’s son contacted me, I winched it on my trailer and off to my shop. I tested the major components, have it in a running/driving condition ready for the new owner to make it their own.

MECHANICAL

The original F motor was rebuilt in 1994, the owner passed in 1996, not run since I got it in 2013. The motor has excellent compression, clean as a whistle inside, obvious very low miles on the rebuilt. The clutch was replaced in 94, operates well, 3 on the tree shifts well. We got the brakes working; it does run/drive/stop. The brakes need to be bled and adjusted. The original Toyota PTO winch is complete and works great. We cleaned out the carb, changed a few things to make it run. Good enough to drive on/off a trailer or down the street not dialed in enough to make a road trip. The expensive parts are in order, needs tinkering to be a daily driver.  Some of the lights do not work, looks like all the gauges work.

BODY

All the panels are original to this truck. This truck is pretty rust free speaking FJ40. There are some spots of rot, pics on the link show well. Spots on the passenger floor, spot behind the driver seat. Just small sheet metal patches needed. Surface rust in the bed. The fenders are un-cut, the frame is excellent, and body mounts excellent. The bottoms of all 4 doors are excellent. Original wheels and good tread tires.

This truck spent 10 days in my shop to get it to this point. We know it’s a good foundation to turn into a nice restored vehicle. Finding an original FJ40 is difficult, I know I’m redundant, but barn finds in rural areas are about it these days.  Everyone knows the prices on these have sky-rocketed in the past few years. Complete factory PTO winch is a huge bonus. I believe this is a great start for a guy/gal that wants to tinker/learn/mild restore one of these legendary vehicles without having to spend the huge dollars all at once to buy one of my perfect restored units.

I have a clean clear WA state title in my name in hand for this truck. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal immediately after auction conclusion. The rest bank to bank wire, cash in person, cashier’s check within 5 days closed auction. Vehicle or title do not leave my property until paid in full. I will delivery this truck up to 300 miles from my location at $1.75 a loaded (one way) mile. I have a shipping broker in the lower 48 I can put you in contact with. Shipping to Hawaii/Alaska and Canada are fairly easy as well. I welcome 3rd party inspections during the auction, I own Auto Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections so skip me when looking in the phone book.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Toyota still holds the title of World's Largest Automaker. The Japanese automaker ceded the claim to General Motors in 2011 following a series of natural and man-made disasters that stifled production in Asia. Production is back up to full speed and, coupled with the introduction of a new Camry midsize sedan, Toyota retook the title in 2012 and has so far been able to keep it by selling 2.43 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2013.
The race is still tight - General Motors reports sales of 2.36 million vehicles, earning it the second spot globally with Volkswagen's 2.27 million sales nabbing the German automaker third place. It's not all smooth sailing for Toyota, either, as the brand's first-quarter figures were down 2.2 percent when compared to last year. GM posted a 3.6-percent gain and VW managed a 5.1-percent gain over the same period.
Sales in China may be a deciding factor as to which automaker performs best in 2013. Toyota's figures were down 13 percent in China. Meanwhile, GM and VW are continuing their upward trajectories in the crucial Chinese market.
