RELISTED DUE TO DEFAULTING BIDDER.  RESERVE PRICE LOWERED.

Mostly unmolested, very complete 1976 FJ55 wagon.  Excellent starting point for a full restoration or restomod.  Includes desirable 2F engine with all factory emissions intact for those who must worry about local/state inspections, along with front disc brakes, 4spd. transmission and desirable Aisin hubs.    Options include period Warn Bellview winch with all controls, frame-mounted receiver hitch and dealer-option roof rack.  Rare solid color OEM Freeborn Red inside and out.

This vehicle came from Nevada and has been sitting outside in SW Colorado since 2000.  Supposedly ran well until parked for carburetor repair.  Previous owner handed me a still-sealed old carb kit and the pieces from the partially-disassembled carb.  A second correct used carburetor and $100+ dollars worth of new hoses and belts are included.  Oil is good and coolant ran bright green when drained but I have not attempted to start it as there are no keys.  Engine turns over freely.  Actual mileage is unknown.  Odometer shows 33793.  Clean Colorado title in my name.

Solid body with minimal rust through in a few of the usual places, including lower front fenders and passenger rocker, small area of bubbling in the lower left corner of the tailgate and a silver dollar-sized hole around the body mount bolt in the driver floor.  All other is surface rust only.  Body mounts and frame are solid with surface rust only.  Inside of rear wheel wheels beat at the back bottom, probably by loose tire chains at some point.  Rear corners and roof are very good with no rust through.  Driver door is cracking around the hinges but easily repairable or use the included spare door shell.  Windshield is good.

Shipping is the buyer’s responsibility but I will assist your shipper at my end.  May consider delivery for expenses within a reasonable distance in the West after payment in full.  Can also negotiate to include many surplus used parts from my original project (I’ve owned five of these since 2008 to build my one, including this one acquired after the project was mostly finished).  This FJ55 is a much better starting point than I had.

PLEASE DO NOT BID WITH NOT INTENT TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE.  I WILL REJECT BIDDERS WITHOUT PRIOR EBAY PURCHASES UNLESS YOU CONTACT ME PRIOR TO BIDDING.

Tesla expects another higher-volume deal with Toyota in next few years

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

Four months have passed since Toyota ended its relationship with Tesla Motors, in which the electric-vehicle specialist supplied full lithium-ion battery packs to the Japanese behemoth for its RAV4 EV rollout, of which 2,500 vehicles will be completed. Now, Tesla founder and CEO Elon Musk has been heard suggesting that a future collaboration is likely within the next two to three years, and that it will probably be much larger than the last one.
Both Tesla and Toyota have sung each other's praises in the not-too-distant past, Toyota telling Autoblog back in May, "We have a good relationship with Tesla and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects." According to Automotive News, Musk said of the Japanese giant, "We love working with Toyota... We have a huge amount of respect for them as a company and certainly much to learn."
Interestingly, though, the two automakers have rather divergent strategies for eco-friendly automobiles. Toyota, as you're surely aware, is the clear-cut leader in hybrids and has thrown its massive support in the direction of hydrogen fuel cells, while Tesla has invested heavily in battery-electric technology and high-speed charging stations.

Does Scion's LA concept presage a US Auris?

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

When the doors open at the LA Auto Show in a few weeks, Scion will be on hand to showcase its new iM Concept. But considering what little Toyota's youthful brand has revealed about the concept so far, it's led to rampant speculation. And the prevailing wisdom seems to point towards a production iM arriving as a Scion-badged version of the Toyota Auris.
For those unfamiliar, the Auris is to European (and other) markets essentially what the Matrix is (was?) to ours: a hatchback version of the Corolla. The model line was first introduced in 2006, looking in its first iteration like an overgrown version of the contemporary second-gen Yaris, and was replaced with the current model in 2012. It's available as a five-door hatch or wagon, with a range of gasoline, diesel and hybrid powertrains available.
If the rumors - spurred by the similarity of the iM concept's nose depicted in the teasers - prove accurate, and public reception to the idea ends up spurring Toyota to put it into action, it wouldn't be the first overseas Toyota brought over as a Scion. The Scion iQ was sold as the Toyota iQ overseas years before it arrived here.

Lexus Eco Challenge rewards schools for clean water, briquette press projects

Fri, Feb 28 2014

Teams from one New Jersey high school and one Michigan middle school reversed the old adage by thinking locally and acting globally. And that strategy won them the grand prizes in the most recent edition of the Lexus Eco Challenge. The future is indeed bright. The Toyota luxury-vehicle division gave out a half-million dollars in this year's contest. One $30,000 grand prize was awarded to the Pinelands Eco Scienteers from Little Egg Harbor, NJ, which produced and distributed low-cost briquette presses to rural villages beset by deforestation. The other grand prize went to the E.T. Electrical Team from Byron Center West Middle School in Michigan. That middle-school group raised money to send water filters to Haiti, Kenya and the Philippines. Lexus also awarded eight $15,000 first-place awards, with the winners including high schools from California, Florida, Missouri and Pennsylvania as well as middle schools from Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina and Texas. A special shout out goes to Daniel Boone Area High School in Birdsboro, PA, where students created an educational and public-relations campaign to publicize algae-based biofuels. In all, Lexus has doled out more than $4 million in Eco Challenge awards in seven years. Check out Lexus's press release below. Students Get Dollars and Sense in Lexus Eco Challenge - $500,000 Awarded to Teams Who Learn About Environment and Community Empowerment Two Grand Prize Teams Earn $30,000 Eight $15,000 First Place Awards Given to Innovative High School and Middle School Teams Students Bring Ideas to a Larger Audience and Make a Positive Impact on the World TORRANCE, Calif., (Feb. 24, 2014) – It's a win, win situation! Communities become a better place, and students, teachers and schools have the chance to share $500,000 in scholarships and grants through the Lexus Eco Challenge. This year, the $30,000 Grand Prize winners are the Pinelands Eco Scienteers from Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, and the E.T. Electrical Team from Byron Center, Michigan. The Lexus Eco Challenge is an educational program and contest that inspires and empowers young people to learn about the environment and take action to improve it. High school and middle school teams nationwide define an environmental issue that is important to them, develop an action plan to address the issue, implement the plan, and report on the results.
