1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.  

I've been restoring this vehicle since April of 2013 and it has turned out far better than I expected.  I've gone to great lengths to keep it as stock as possible.  I've replaced or restored almost every part of this vehicle.  It runs excellent and drives strong.

Key items that people usually ask about:
  • Original Toyota 2F Straight 6-Cyl engine.
  • Original Toyota transmission and t-case.
  • Does not have Power Steering or AC.
  • Dune Beige paint code 416.
  • New seat upholstery.
  • New BF Goodrich MT 33x10.50 x 15 tires.  No more than 20 miles are on these tires.
  • All hardware is brand new and done in stainless steel.
  • Spectre air intake assembly.  
  • 124,812 original miles.  Odometer currently reads 24,812.
Restoration Process:
This vehicle started with very little rust.  I broke down the entire vehicle, sent every piece to the sand blaster (there's a pic or two of sandblasted parts), personally sanded every part, etched, primed and then sent all parts to a local body/paint shop for professional final body and paint work.  The vehicle is rust free, straight and flat.  The paint is beautiful, shiny, brilliant and vibrant in color.  (There are a couple pics that show the progress of the restoration).

The interior has a professional Hippo liner in the base tub from the real seal to the front fire wall.  The Hippo liner is rubberized and color injected (not painted on top of the liner).  The liner deadens sound and can take a beating.  The color exactly matches the rest of the vehicle.  The seats are professional upholstered and done in black.

As you can see from the pics there are too many parts to list that I purchased new for this restoration. From top to bottom this baby is new and fully functional.  All gauges and components of the electrical system are operational.  Drive train is strong.  Windows are operational.  Doors seal tightly and all have new weatherstripping.  I even completely disassembled the rear license plate holder and made sure it was working.

I can't think of anything else this land cruiser needs.  You are getting a stunning vehicle at half of the cost a professional restoration house would charge you.

Conditions for Purchase:
I require $1000 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of this auction.  I take wire transfer or bank check.  Once I verify the deposit, I will overnight the title to you.  Once you receive title, you have 5 working days to get me the remaining balance.  Im willing to help arrange shipping of the FJ40 or hold it for two weeks while shipping and/or pick up arrangements are made.

I've used this method of collecting payment/delivery of the title & vehicle many times.  I works great.  Please do NOT ask me to use PayPal - they only protect the buyer and give no insurance to the seller.  Not to mention they take 3% of the sale.

Questions & Seller Note:
I've restored a few FJ40's in my day and take great pride in the restoration.  With that said, I don't do this for a living - it's just a hobby.  The vehicle is not perfect - if it were you would be buying it from Cool Cruisers or ICON and be paying over $50k for the vehicle.  I've never had a complaint from anyone who bought an FJ40 from me.  I make sure they are completely happy and I've maintained a lot of friendships across the country from my transactions.  Please call me to talk about the FJ40 and/or to make me an offer.  I reserve the right to end this auction at any time.  The vehicle is for sale as-is.

Contact Info:
I respond very quickly to a phone call or text to Dan 801-556-9399.  You're welcome to email through eBay but it might take me a few hours to respond.  Additionally, I will tell you that my last FJ40 sale people hesitated to click the "Buy It Now" button.  The vehicle sold to someone who called me and finalized the deal over the phone and I ended the auction early.  Afterwords, I had over 10 people call me and ask me if it sold and had regrets they did not click the "Buy it Now" button.  My price is fair given the quality and detail of this restoration and how it compares to others on the market.  Thank you and good luck!

Honda Civic overtakes Toyota Corolla as America's best-selling compact

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

The battle to claim October's best-selling compact sedan title has been won by the Honda Civic. The Japanese four-door sold 27,328 units, leaving the Toyota Corolla - September's title holder - in its wake with 23,637 units sold. In terms of year-to-date sales, the Civic sits at 280,899 units, with the Corolla trailing at 257,184 vehicles.
Sitting in third place, separated by a significant gap from the leaders, is the Chevrolet Cruze with 16,087 units sold. The Ford Focus earned fourth, with 15,108 units moved out of showrooms. (It is interesting to note that while the Civic and Corolla have both enjoyed double-digit sales increases year-over-year, the Cruze and Focus have seen significant decreases during the same period.)
Sales of the Hyundai Elantra hit 14,876 units, putting it in fifth place, with the Volkswagen Jetta earning sixth place with 11,710 units. Rounding out the ten top sellers were the Nissan Sentra (8,399 units), Mazda3 (7,647 units), Dodge Dart (5,617 units) and Subaru Impreza/WRX (4,923 units). The Kia Forte (4,706 units) and Volkswagen Golf (2,249 units), eleventh and twelfth respectively, have fallen behind.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.
Driving Notes:

Details about next-gen Toyota Prius emerge

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

The Toyota Prius is undeniably the king of the hybrid market in the United States, with a 39.4 percent market share in 2013. With the next-generation Prius likely to go on sale in 2015, Toyota is trying to build an even more efficient hybrid to keep its control of the market.
Keeping cost down will be one of the major concerns of the new Prius. The next generation will ride on the new, modular Toyota New Global Architecture platform. The lighter underpinnings will improve efficiency and will reduce production costs by allowing for more shared components among vehicles. Toyota will not reveal how many vehicles will use the new platform. But even with the cheaper platform, price will remain a concern. Toyota is still deciding whether all versions of the next Prius will use lithium-ion batteries or whether some models will stick with the heavier nickel-metal hydride batteries to keep cost down.
Of course, the reason most people buy the Prius is because of its great fuel efficiency. Toyota will aim for at least an 8 percent improvement in fuel economy in the next Prius, which would increase it to 58 miles per gallon city and 52 mpg highway.
