1973 Toyota Land Cruiser - FJ40 upgraded with a 2F motor and 4-speed transmission!!  And...

I'm selling one of my projects! Here's the story.  I bought this FJ40 with the idea of restoring it.  It has tons of upgrades and would be a very simple and fast restoration. However, i'm smack in the middle of a different restoration and can't take on another project.   The foundation for this restoration is in place and ready to go.  

Here's a few of the key items that enhance this project:

  • 2F motor.  Less than 5,000 miles have been put on the vehicle since the motor swap.
  • 4-speed transmission.
  • New clutch.
  • Alpine XM Radio.
  • Newly rebuilt windshield wiper motor.
  • New SOR rear quarter panels - welded in the rear tub and the body work is complete on these!
  • Brand new OME (Old Man Emu) springs, bushings, lift, and shocks.
  • OME shocks.
  • OME steering stabilizer.
  • Shackle/perch reversal.
  • Brand new SOR rims.
  • Brand new hubcaps.
  • Knuckle rebuild on drivers and passenger side.
  • SOR dash cap.
  • Custom spare tire carrier.
  • Man-A-Fre distributor upgrade.
  • All new electrical lights, side marker lights, headlights and signals.
  • Brand new BFG MT's  33x10.50 x 15 - set of five tires.
  • Brand new window gaskets for the hardtop windows.
  • All gauges, windows,etc are in working condition.
  • Fresh paint  (see note below).
Current condition:
The hard parts of this restoration are done.  Now the only thing left is the body work on the hard top sides, some spots on the front doors, front fenders.  The interior is painted black and in my opinion should match the green exterior.  The cruiser runs amazing and does NOT drip oil or smoke.  Runs like a swiss watch.  Drives tight.

Brakes:
This cruiser has drum brakes on the front and pulls to the right.  Simple fix - replace the drivers side cylinders.

I've disclosed everything I know about this FJ40.  It is in amazing mechanical shape and just needs a little TLC in the way of body work.  Given the upgrades it will easily be a $25K+ valued vehicle when it's done.  

Conditions of Sale:
I reserve the right to end this auction early since it's for sale locally.  Please call or text me with questions.  Emails will be answered as I get to them.  I require a $1000 non-refundable deposit via wire transfer, cashiers check or cash.  After I receive the wire transfer, I will FedEx overnight the title to you.  After you receive the title you need to submit the balance of funds due by wire transfer, cash, cashiers check.  ABSOLUTELY NO PAYPAL.  They only protect the buyer.

I'm happy to hold the vehicle for a week or two while you arrange to come get it or ship it.

Audi, Toyota land on MIT's list of 50 Most Disruptive Companies

Sat, 23 Feb 2013

MIT Technology Review, a magazine all about innovation, has announced its list of the 50 most disruptive companies in 2013, and both Audi and Toyota made the cut. While the term "most disruptive" may carry a negative connotation in most uses (especially in the classroom), the acknowledgement in this case is an accolade, signifying that the company is at the forefront of its industry. In a nutshell, a disruptive company is a business whose innovations force other businesses to alter their strategic direction.
Audi made the list for "pushing autonomous cars closer to fruition with a laser-scanning road detector that fits in a vehicle's front grille," and Toyota for "expanding its dominance of the hybrid-car market with its new plug-in version of the Prius."

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.

Zombie cars roundup: Dodge has sold 3 new Vipers this year

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.
