1976 Toyota Landcruiser Fj40, V8, 5spd Nv4500, Very Clean Survivor, Pto Winch on 2040-cars
Pueblo, Colorado, United States
|
Very clean 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser with a Chevy 350c.i. V8 and a NV4500 5 speed transmission which is adapted to the original Toyota transfer case. This FJ40 has minimal rust and is equipped with a rare factory PTO winch. The engine swap was nicely done. Everything is correct from the exhaust to the motor mounts to the radiator (not a cobbled together hack job). Truck has 107500 miles on the clock. Runs, drives and stops excellent. The engine/trans swap was done a few years back and has proven reliable. The V8 and 5 speed trans allows this vehicle to be driven daily. It has the power to keep up with traffic in town and the 5th gear to keep up on the highway. Truck spent its entire life in the town of Canon City in Colorado. It was used but not abused. It is all original besides the engine swap and a rifle rack inside the drivers door. The original jack, tool bag, trouble light that plugs into the glove box, and owners manuals are still with the truck. I have the original sales receipt from Toyota Town Inc. Drive Train Chevy 350ci with an aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb and EFI. Engine runs strong and sounds healthy. Dual Flowmaster exhaust sounds great. Transmission is the desirable and bullet proof NV4500 5 speed adapted to the original Toyota transfer case. Shifts great, clutch excellent. Truck stops well with power disc brakes. Axles are original with original gearing. PTO winch works but has not seen much use, so the clutch lever is a bit stiff and needs some lube and love. Truck does not leak oil on the driveway. Body Original paint with that weird FJ40 fade. Cool patina. Some rust but very minimal for a FJ40. Floors are ridiculously clean and rust free and so are the doors. A few dings but over all pretty straight. Windows go up and down good but regulators are a bit sticky. Con-Fer rail mount roof rack. Interior Seats are nice original material, drivers seat has a small tear. Dash is clean but two Autometer gauges have been installed. They were installed neatly. Gauges work. Lights, signals, horn, wipers, heater controls work as they should. Headliner is gone. Rear heater is developing a leak (only when heat is on) and will need to be fixed eventually. I can bypass it if the winning bidder chooses to drive the FJ home. Tires/Wheels Wheels are original with original hub caps. Tires are near new 31x10.50 KM2 BF Goodrich mud terrains. They have a few hundred miles on them. The matching spare is still brand new. Overall a nice clean start to a restoration, or a very cool driver the way it is. The truck shows signs of use but not abuse. Whoever installed the V8 knew what they were doing and obviously cared about the end results. It is not currently registered or insured, but if you are up for an adventure I believe you could fly out, throw your gear in the back, and drive it home. I can meet the buyer at the Colorado Springs airport with the truck. Below is a link to 145 pictures. I believe I have covered every part of the vehicle. Call with questions at 719-557-1755 anytime. If you need to see something not covered in the pics just call and I will text what you need. http://s470.photobucket.com/user/TimothyHannon/library/1976%20Landcruiser?sort=3&page=1 I would like a $500.00 deposit within 24hrs of auction close, and full payment within 48hrs unless otherwise arranged through me.

Honda, Subaru airlifting parts to bypass port labor diputes
Fri, Feb 6 2015It should be abundantly obvious that a vital element in building cars is actually having the components on hand to assemble them. A labor dispute on the West Coast between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and management is not making that quite so easy for some Japanese automakers. Work slowdowns at the ports have pushed Honda and Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries into flying some parts into the country. The two automakers began shipping by airplane late last month to avoid production delays, according to Bloomberg, but it has been an expensive solution. Subaru's chief financial officer said the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. They aren't the only companies dealing with the problem, either. Toyota reportedly stopped overtime assembly at some of its factories here because of the delays in getting parts, according to Bloomberg. The dockworkers have been negotiating on a new contract since May 2014, and the current offer on the table to them has offered a 3 percent raise, according to Bloomberg. Although, the union is reportedly considering another slowdown at 29 ports along the West Coast in the coming days.

North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.
