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!

Toyota Prius gets higher clearance, better suspension in Pakistan

Thu, Jan 2 2014

It's been 16 years since the Toyota Prius launched in Japan. Finally, the world's most popular hybrid is becoming the first hybrid car to show up in Pakistan. This version of the Prius has been customized by Indus Motor Company (IMC) in order to deal with, well, let's just say some challenging road conditions. IMC knows what it's doing, and has modified Toyota and Daihatsu vehicles for the Pakistani market for over 20 years. The Prius brings with it the iconic shape and Parvez Ghias, CEO of IMC, told The Technology Times that the car's arrival, "is indeed a great milestone, not only in the history of IMC, but, of the entire nation." Pakistan Today says that IMC is beefing up the ground clearance of the imported Priuses and adds a "robust suspension system." Why would this be important? Well, the US Department of State warns travelers to beware of crowded roads, aggressive and poorly trained drivers and bad roads that could include potholes and sharp drop-offs. Then there's the "donkeys, cattle, horse carts, and even the occasional camel [that] can pose roadside hazards in some areas." There's also the big problem of terrorism-related violence in Pakistan, but we haven't heard that the Pakistan Prius has been bullet- and shrapnel-proofed.

Weekly Recap: An '80s encore in the auto world

Sat, Jul 11 2015

The '80s returned in a big way this week, as National Lampoon's, Ghostbusters, Miami Vice, and even Tetris were back in the news. While there were far more serious topics (see below), nostalgia mingled with modern marketing to put these Reagan-era favorites back in the spotlight. The '80s were alternately cold and corny at times, but their cultural touchstones can still generate big money. That's why Infiniti recreated an iconic scene from National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) for an advertisement that hawks the QX60 crossover. Actor Ethan Embry, who played Rusty Griswold in a later Lampoon's movie, pilots the Infiniti – which is serving as a modern Family Truckster – for a trip to Walley World. A blonde pulls alongside in a red Lamborghini. They flirt, and she drives on. Christie Brinkley, who played the original girl in the red sports car (she drove a Ferrari in the '83 flick), is riding shotgun and chides Embry with: "A blonde. In a convertible. Seriously?" Okay, it's hardly on the level of "here's looking at you," or even "you can't handle the truth," but it should resonate with '80s babies, many of whom are now having children of their own and moving into three-row SUVs like the QX60. Naturally, Hollywood is going back to the well, too, with a Vacation remake that premiers July 29. Meanwhile, Ghostbusters is returning next year, and director Paul Feig offered a peak at the new Eco-1 in this tweet. In the 1984 classic, the team drove a modified 1959 Cadillac. Now, it will drive a late '80s Cadillac. As expected, the announcement generated support and controversy from movie and car enthusiasts. His tweet had generated several thousand retweets and favorites in the days following the news. Though the '80s Caddy looks, uh, less elegant in comparison to the now-iconic fins and curves of the original Ecto-1, it's about the same time lapse into the past as the '59 Caddy was to viewers in 1984. Speaking of 1984, Miami Vice, which debuted that year on NBC, is seeing one of its hero cars hit the auction block, Mecum Auctions announced this week. The 1986 Ferrari used on the show will be offered for sale Aug. 15 during Monterey classic car week. The white supercar runs a 390-hp flat 12-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and was in storage after the show ended in 1989 until earlier this year. It has 16,124 miles on the odometer and is authenticated by Ferrari North America and Classiche.

Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
