Transmission: Manual-4 speed Condition: Excellent Exterior: Black Jade Metallic Interior: Cream This iconic Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser was purchased in Moscow Idaho in July 1976 for $6,425, and remained in the same ownership for the next 28 years. The second owner undertook a total frame off restoration, including a complete sanding and repainting of the frame, body, roof, original factory wheels (to match the roof and interior color), new leather interior, “BDS Lift Kit,” all-terrain “Big O A / T Big Foot” tires and “Pacer” polished alloy wheels (the original wheels and tires come with the Cruiser too), wiring harness, servicing of the original factory winch (driven directly from the transfer case, known as a powered take off “P.T.O.” as it is powered from by the engine). The “safari roof rack” was also added as hardtop enhancement furthering the roughed off-road look of the Cruiser. A deep black metallic jade was chosen for the exterior and interior metal and light cream for the removable hardtop, factory wheels and leather seats, resulting in refined overall look and feel to the Cruiser. With the odometer showing approximately 49,000 miles and the engine running strong and without issues, its condition only required a cleaning with a change of plugs, filters and oil. It retains the original 4.2 Liter Inline 6 Cylinder 258 cubic inch displacement gasoline engine, with a 2-barrel carburetor and 4-speed manual transmission. The engine starts immediately and runs well, and has excellent power and torque. The 4-speed transmission and terrain selector (which adjusts the drivetrain from two to four wheel drive) shift with authority. Having been more interested in the restoration project then using of the vehicle, it remained a part of the second owner’s car collection in Bozeman Montana, seeing limited use, for two years. The third owner purchased the Cruiser while on vacation at Big Sky, Montana and immediately drove it 1,500 miles across the country to his home in northern Michigan. It made the trip flawlessly and continues to remain as mechanically sound as the day it first rolled of the lot in Moscow, Idaho back in July 1976. At some point after June of 2004 and before June of 2006 the odometer was ceased working and was replaced by the third owner. The odometer currently shows approximately 38,000 miles. So we know the odometer is no longer accurate, our belief is the actual mileage is approximately 55,000 miles, but we cannot confirm this. What really sets this vehicle apart is the exceptional attention to detail. Almost all of the original hardware, such as the bolts, nuts, hose clamps, hard lines, and brackets have been maintained (it is only missing the original am/fm radio). The electrical and mechanical items are in perfect working order, 100% rust-free with beautiful seams, gaps and joints. No leaks, no rust and no issues. As the fourth owner we have enjoyed driving the Cruiser this past summer and found it to be trouble free, extraordinarily reliable and the topic of attention wherever we have taken it. Kids in college require its sale so we are looking for a good home to continue the care and enjoyment of the Cruiser. The original paperwork includes: Toyota owner’s manual, factory window sticker, dealer’s price label, EPA fuel estimate, dealer statement of odometer mileage, dealer bill of sale, first owner’s financing/security agreement. Miscellaneous records and invoices from service and restoration also included. Original Toyota issued “patinated” tool kit and wheel-changing tools are also included. In addition, the hard top can be removed and would be perfect for those “bikini top” days in the warmer months. This is a beautiful, investment-grade time capsule in excellent condition. The photos speak for themselves! Original FJ's of this caliber are pretty much non-existent, they're only original once, here's your opportunity... Fly in and drive home (buyer is responsible for Cruiser delivery). |

Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind
Wed, 24 Apr 2013Toyota 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.
Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells
Sat, Jan 10 2015Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
Toyota will race C-HR CUV in 2016 Nurburgring 24 Hours
Fri, Jan 15 2016There won't just be traditional racecars competing in the 2016 Nurburgring 24 Hours; Toyota Gazoo Racing will take the bizarre route of prepping the C-HR crossover for the grueling event. The squad will enter more conventional machines, too, including a Lexus RC and RC F for the race that will run from May 26-29. Details about the C-HR Racing are scant at the moment. "We decided to take on the new challenge of creating ever-better cars using a crossover rather than a pure sports car," the company's announcement said. It makes no mention of the vehicle's specs, but the included photo show the CUV with a more aggressive front fascia, vents along the hood, and a big wing at the rear. The driver lineup includes Masahiko Kageyama, Kumi Sato, and another person to be announced later. Toyota will reportedly introduce the production version of the C-HR at the Geneva Motor Show, and the final one will allegedly carry over the current rakish shape and hybrid powertrain. The company also showed it with Scion badging at the 2015 LA Auto Show to suggest a likely arrival in the US. This year will mark a decade of Gazoo Racing's competition in the 24 Hours of the 'Ring. The squad notably raced the LFA there for several years, but it showed a willingness to bring weirder vehicles too like a Lexus CT 200h in 2011. Nothing has been quite as odd as racing a crossover there, though. Toyota GAZOO Racing Celebrates Decade of Participation in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring with Triple Entry for 2016 Race Toyota City, Japan, January 15, 2016-Toyota GAZOO Racing announces the entry of three vehicles-a Toyota C-HR Racing*, a Lexus RC, and a Lexus RC F-in the 44th 24 Hours of Nurburgring endurance race to be held in Germany from May 26 to 29, 2016. The 24 Hours of Nurburgring plays an important role in Toyota's motorsports activities for building ever-better human resources and vehicles under intense racing conditions. Beginning in 2007, the 2016 event marks the 10th year of Toyota's participation in the race under the banner of GAZOO racing. When asked to look back over the last ten years, team representative Akio Toyoda said, "I remember GAZOO Racing first taking on the challenge of the Nurburgring in 2007 in an Altezza like it was yesterday. There are so many memories running through my mind–the interaction with the roads of the Nurburgring, whose characteristics seem to change with each shift in the weather, the meeting and parting with new and valuable friends.
