1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40

Here is a very honest solid little FJ40. Purchased in Idaho by my client in 2005 then taken immediately to TLC in Van Nuys CA to have Jonathan Ward's ICON team do full "Stage Two" mechanical inspection and refurbishment which totaled $21,411. TLC inspected and refurbished everything mechanically in need, here is a partial list of the mechanical work done: all wiring and electrics refurbished, installation of "Old Man EMU" suspension and shocks, all tie rod ends updated, R&R cylinder head resurface and overhauled, new smog legal header/manifold, oil pan gaskets and all oil hoses refreshed, ignition fully serviced and parts replaced as needed, axels spindles and wheel bearings serviced and packed, cooling system checked and refreshed hoses etc., wheel cylinders and brake linings serviced and replaced as needed, R&R clutch disc and pilot busing and rear seal, all u-joints serviced, steering arms serviced and fuel system completely refurbished, new exhaust installed.

The car remains in excellent mechanical condition today having had regular services. This FJ has had sparing street use since 2005 covering less than 5k miles. It has been garaged whilst here in the Bay Area. Paint is decent and serviceable and appears to have had only one re-spray. Interior is not fully OEM (front seats changed) but nice and sanitary. Underneath the car is excellent, no rot, no rust holes, no corrosion and very clean with only very slight surface rust in some areas. No evidence of any leakage either evidently benefit of the TLC work performed.

The truck drives great! Tight, good clutch engagement, nice non-gronchy gearbox and good power, and everything works sans a radio (note hole in dash.) Interior is very clean and nicely detailed. Top, latches, bumpers, lights, emblems wheels and tires all look very nice although tires are as replaced in 2005 and should before heavy use be refreshed. On the whole, an extremely solid, well preserved, largely OEM stock Land Cruiser 4X4 with hard top in excellent mechanical and good cosmetic condition. This is a private part consignment FJ-40 being sold "as-is" by Driveline. The truck is located here in the SF Bay Area. Inspections welcome and please call 650-261-1777 for any questions.

Mileage: T.M.U.

Local production could improve Toyota Prius' fortunes in China

Wed, Apr 23 2014

The Toyota Prius is the world's most popular hybrid vehicle, but it may take domestic production capabilities for the model to achieve a high level of popularity in China. Japan-based Toyota is aiming to produce an increasing percentage of Prius components in China in order to bring down its price there, Bloomberg News reports. Eventually, the goal is to make all Priuses sold in China in that country in order to avoid the steep 25-percent import tariff. As it is, Toyota sold just 1,400 Prius vehicles in China last year, compared to about 234,000 in the US and 315,000 worldwide. Hindering sales is the fact that the Prius costs about as much as an entry-level Audi in China, where Volkswagen is the country's best-selling automaker. Toyota has been selling the Prius in China for almost a decade but may soon find local sources for the batteries and other hybrid parts for the Prius and Camry Hybrid, Bloomberg says, citing comment from Hiroji Onishi, Toyota's China chief, at the Beijing Auto Show. Part of the problem is that the Chinese government provides less than $500 worth of subsidies for each hybrid sold, compared to about $9,600 for an electric vehicle. While that subsidy may rise as China municipalities take on the country's growing pollution problems, there's lingering concern over spurring sales of a car that's made by competing Japan. Toyota starting making some of its Prius vehicles in China in 2005 but halted production on the second-generation version of the hybrid four years later.

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.

Toyota JPN Taxi Concept is a Japanese riff on an English classic

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

As far as beasts of burden go, New York City's new - and much maligned - Nissan NV200 "Taxi of Tomorrow" isn't a bad one. It's space efficient, reasonably economical, and its simple construction should mean it's pretty robust over the long haul, too. But it lacks panache and a sense of occasion - let alone a sense of humor - three things this this Toyota JPN Taxi Concept we found at the Tokyo Motor Show has in spades.
Unfortunately, that's about all the information we have on this cheeky London-taxi-inspired showcar. Toyota hasn't provided much in the way of details, other than to proclaim that the five-seat JPN was "created with Japanese hospitality in mind" and it "aims to enliven city streets." Japan's livery landscape has long been occupied by traditional three-box sedans - models like the Toyota Crown and Nissan Cedric. The JPN Taxi at just over 171 inches would appear to offer both a tighter footprint and added whimsy, both of which are in the automaker's favor; we hear it hopes this concept will one day become the country's own version of America's yellow Crown Vic cab.
Toyota isn't providing powertrain specifications, but we like the airy feeling of the interior (Japanese cabs typically don't have cumbersome partitions between cabbie and passengers), the minimalist driver area with three screens, and the widescreen overhead video system for passengers that bookends the panoramic moonroof. Check it out in our gallery of live shots and let us know what you think in Comments.
