Up for grabs is this 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. This FJ features what we believe to be the original engine, original transmission, and original hard top. This FJ starts easily and drives very well at speed, it has a four speed manual transmission. All four tires match (spare is not present) and have well over 50% tread showing. The interior is very complete, and the dash pad is in very good condition, all of the gauges/lights/electrics work, and there is an FJ40 rubber floor mat for the front passenger cab. There is also what appears to be the original headliner, this is in very good condition. Original roll bar is also present and in good condition. Radio does not appear to be functioning. The heater does work as do the wipers. All brake lights, headlights, and turn signals are functioning.

On 12/9, this FJ received a full tune-up by a master mechanic, to include spark plugs AND fuel filter as well as an oil change. It idles well and evenly, and there is plenty of power from the engine. At the same time, I had a compression test performed on the engine, the results are below:

Cylinder 1-150 psi

Cylinder 2-151 psi

Cylinder 3-155 psi

Cylinder 4-150 psi

Cylinder 5-160 psi

Cylinder 6-160 psi

As you can see from the pictures, the most immediate issue facing this FJ is the rust, the tub should be considered gone or close to gone. However, the chassis shows remarkably little rust (I have additional photos of the undercarriage, please let me know if you want them sent to you), and the hard top, doors, hood, etc should all be salvageable.

This Land Cruiser starts easily (first crank), the carb and engine appear to be in excellent working order, and after driving this FJ, I can attest that the clutch is very strong and there is plenty of power. The vehicle also has an Optima red top battery as well as Warn locking hubs. This should be an excellent candidate for a full restoration that can also be driven throughout the process.

The sale includes what appears to be the original Bill of Sale as well as the original key. Also included is a complete owner's manual.

If you have ANY questions, would like to see additional photos, would like to receive videos of the vehicle with the engine idling, or need any additional information, my cell phone is 615-300-6004. Please feel free to call and/or text during normal business hours, and I will make every effort to accommodate you.

Please note: I am an automobile dealer in Nashville, TN. My main focus is finding, driving, buying and selling Land Cruisers and other vintage SUV's. As such, I must collect sales tax for Tennessee residents ONLY; I do charge a doc fee of $199 per vehicle. I do have several other FJ's available, our website is RockstarMotorcars.com.

I accept the following forms of payment: Credit cards (3% swipe fee applies), personal checks, cashier's checks, wire transfers (small fee applies), and cash. This FJ40 will come with a 30 day temporary tag, and I will only send out the title after all funds have been collected, title will be sent by FedEx. Vehicle will be made available to depart our location only after all funds have been collected. All sales are final.

YES, I will end this auction early for the right offer, please contact me directly on 615-300-6004.

I DO accept vehicles as trades on a limited basis, you must bring your vehicle to Nashville for me to evaluate it before I will sell you this FJ40.

I can have this FJ40 delivered to your front door nationally or internationally for far less than you might think (i.e. $500 to DC, $700 to Los Angeles); please provide your zip code for an accurate estimate on shipping.

Please consider all aspects of owning a classic Toyota Land Cruiser BEFORE bidding, a bid is a legally binding contract. Please remember to check with your spouse/child/partner/pet/religious leader and ensure that you have "permission" to purchase this vehicle AND that you have all necessary funds in place, all nonpaying bidders will be fully prosecuted.

Again, if you have any questions or need additional photos/videos, please feel free to call or text me on 615-300-6004. This is a great Land Cruiser that drives well and could be the base for a great restoration, thank you for looking!

2014 Toyota Tundra

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Raising A White Flag To The Competition
We all benefit from highly competitive battles. In the automotive sector, few campaigns are so closely fought as the decades-long struggle for supremacy in the fullsize half-ton pickup truck segment. The Ford F-150 has dominated for ages, but Chevrolet, Ram and GMC have been closing the gap with freshly redesigned trucks that are rocking the industry.
Today's half-ton trucks are better than they've ever been, and we have fierce competition to thank for that.

Toyota nudges US sales projections up to 2.25M

Tue, 20 Aug 2013

Toyota has raised its expectations for 2013's US sales for the third time since the end of 2012. The new target rests at 2.25 million units, when sales of Toyota, Lexus and Scion are taken as one. Subtracting Lexus, Toyota is still expecting to move over two million vehicles in the US by the end of 2013.
According to a report from Automotive News, the sales expectations came from Bob Carter, senior VP of automotive operations for Toyota USA, during a dealers during a meeting in Atlanta. The heightened expectations go along with Toyota's predictions for the US market as a whole, which it expects to grow to 15.5 million units by the end of 2013.
Besides an overall, national uptick in new vehicle sales, Toyota is also expecting a big push as it puts the next-generation Corolla to market during the second half of this year, along with the Tundra pickup truck. Meanwhile, dealers were shown images of a refreshed Camry, set to arrive in 2015, and reported that it's "more than a nip and a tuck," according to the AN report.

Toyota announces Geneva plans including droptop FT-86 Open concept

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Automakers from around the globe are gearing up for the Geneva Motor Show next month, and Toyota is giving us a couple teasers of what will be in its display. In addition to what appears to be a single-seat concept called the i-Road (shown at right), Toyota will also give us our first look at a droptop Scion FR-S courtesy of the FT-86 Open Concept.
All we have to go on right now is this sketch shown above, but we do see that this car will retain its rear seats, which could be a potential advantage over one of its key rivals, the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Toyota says that this concept will be used to gauge public interest in such a convertible, but we've already heard that a Scion convertible is already planned to go on sale as soon as early next year. As far as Toyota's other concept, there also isn't much information about the i-Road except that it will be a zero-emissions vehicle and it will have seating for two passengers, which based on the drawing will have the driver sitting in front of the passenger.
Toyota will also show off the European version of the new RAV4 as well as its new Auris Touring Sports, which it refers to as a "medium-size estate." Scroll down for Toyota's tease of a press release.
