1976 Toyota Bj40 Land Cruiser Turbo Fj40 Landcruiser on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
For Sale is a Rare 1976 Toyota BJ40 Land Cruiser. This Land Cruiser was originally from Costa Rica. It began as a very straight and solid rust free BJ then a large amount of money was invested to restore/slightly modify at the hands of a professional. Aside from the obvious like the beautiful paint and rust free undercarriage it has other desired options such as: 3B Toyota Engine Garrett Turbo Intercooler Factory PTO Winch Disc Brakes Power Steering 80 Series Land Cruiser style running gear (axles, coil suspension, etc.) Provides for a much smoother ride and suspension travel, great off road capability if desired. The dash and all components is complete and in working order 33 inch tires with about 65% tread on the front and about 55% on the rear Since its arrival in the US it has been a major head turner. It is a blast to drive and will comfortably cruise at highway speeds as far as you want to go. The Garrett Turbo adds to the already impressive 3B Diesel engine and is truly an added bonus. This is a well taken care of beautiful rare classic with great off road potential. As you can tell, it has not been used in that way. I have all the required paperwork for it to be registered in the US and as the buyer, you will be the first registered owner in the United States. This is your chance to own the most desired 4X4 ever made coated in its original iconic red and the ultimate in Land Cruisers, the Diesel engine. Please don't hesitate with any questions and feel free to contact me at any time.

Also, brand new Glow Plugs were installed a few days ago just in time for the cooler months. Again, this BJ starts every time, runs and shifts great. The four wheel drive engages and works as it should with no problems. It is rare to find a diesel Cruiser that is this solid. The frame and body are near perfect with absolutely no rust or bondo in the typical problematic areas on these old Toyotas. The previous owner had extensive restoration work completed from the frame up by a very reputable shop/mechanic. Other Cruisers of this quality bring a premium, not to mention it is a rare factory 3B with a Turbo. Buying a truck like this is a great investment in today's market. I will send any requested photos that I may have missed. Good Luck On Aug-29-14 at 19:14:55 PDT, seller added the following information: Contact: 270-576-1440 acclark01@gmail.com |

Toyota to kill Scion brand [w/video]
Wed, Feb 3 2016Toyota Motor Co. said Wednesday it will kill its youth-oriented Scion brand, ending a 13-year experiment that attracted new customers but ultimately drained resources from the parent company. The FR-S sports car, iA sedan, and iM five-door hatchback will be re-badged as Toyotas starting in August for the 2017 model year, and the tC coupe will end production then. The C-HR displayed at the Los Angeles Auto Show will become a Toyota vehicle when it launches. Scion's 22 dedicated team members will be given opportunities to join Toyota. Toyota says it made the decision in response to customers' needs, noting it finds younger buyers want practicality in addition to the individualistic styling and features that Scion offered. Meanwhile, Toyota's own vehicles have gotten sportier, which the company says appeals to younger buyers. Scion claimed some successes, pointing to its average customer age of 36 years old, with 70 percent of its buyers new to Toyota. Scion sold more than a million vehicles since it launched. Its best year was 2006, when it sold 173,034 vehicles. Sales declined steadily in 2007-08 and then crashed in 2009 during the recession to 57,961 units, before bottoming out in 2010 with only 45,678 sales. "This isn't a step backward for Scion; it's a leap forward for Toyota. Scion has allowed us to fast track ideas that would have been challenging to test through the Toyota network," said Jim Lentz, founding vice president of Scion and now CEO, Toyota Motor North America. "I was there when we established Scion and our goal was to make Toyota and our dealers stronger by learning how to better attract and engage young customers. I'm very proud because that's exactly what we have accomplished." While Scion never recovered from its drastic sales decline, it served as a test bed for marketing and dealer tactics that helped its parent company. Scion tried out no-haggle pricing, a streamlined option plan (some cars had only two choices: color and transmission) and a pre-paid maintenance plan. "We appreciate our 1,004 Scion dealers and the support they've given the brand," said Bob Carter, Toyota senior vice president of automotive operations. "We believe our dealers have gained valuable insights and have received a strong return on their investment.
Toyota FCV rallies to the hydrogen cause as zero car
Mon, 03 Nov 2014It's been two decades since Toyota dominated the World Rally Championship with its Celica Turbo 4WD. But this past weekend, Toyota hit the rally stage in a very different vehicle.
That, as you can see, is the Japanese automaker's Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV), which is still in its prototype phase. We're still at least half a year away from seeing the FCV in production trim, but the model has already been pressed into duty as the "zero car" at the Shinshiro Rally, the last round of the Japanese Rally Championship.
The zero car, for those unfamiliar, is to rally what a pace or safety car is to circuit racing, driving the rally stage to check for signs of trouble before the competitors put their feet to the floor, so it's not as if the FCV needed extensive modifications. From the looks of things, it just needed some jazzy stripes, mud flaps, probably different rolling stock and an interior with racing buckets and harnesses, roll cage, radio equipment and maybe a bit more ground clearance.
Recharge Wrap-up: New and old Audis get greener, as does US electricity
Thu, Aug 21 2014Audi has made environmental improvements to the its TT while boosting performance. The new TT sees an 11-percent reduction in emissions, and up to 14 percent more power. Audi says that each TT will save around 5.5 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over its lifecycle. Additionally, the TT's manufacturing process has been cleaned up a bit, reducing emissions by about nine percent. Read more in the press release, below, or see Audi's lifecycle assessment here. Speaking of greening up Audis, Al Swackhammer of Washington converted his 1960 Audi DKW 1000S to run on electric power. Swackhammer first fell in love with the Audi Ur-Quattro, became an enthusiast of Audi and Volkswagen cars, and has owned nothing else ever since. With his DKW, he combined his passion for the classic car with his responsibility to the environment. "I am pleased that I did this project," says the happy owner, "and I enjoy driving it very dearly." Meet the man and his beloved electric Audi DKW in the video below. Toyota has chosen a sustainable design firm, Corgan, as the lead architect for its new North American headquarters. The new campus will be built in Plano, TX, and will be the workplace of about 4,000 Toyota employees. Corgan, who has already done 47 LEED certified projects, is already designing a temporary office for the site while it finishes the project. Toyota expects to begin working from the site in late 2016 or early 2017. Learn more in the press release below. In July, all new electrical generating capacity in the US came from renewable sources. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Office of Energy Projects' newest "Energy Infrastructure Update" report says new electric generation put into service last month came from wind (379 megawatts), solar (21 megawatts) and hydro (5 megawatts). So far this year, 53 percent of new energy generation capacity has come from various renewable sources, and none from coal or nuclear. Currently, renewable energy accounts for 16.3 percent of the US electric generation capacity, providing about 14 percent of actual electricity.
