For sale is a 1977 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. This is an untitled 350/4-barrel conversion project. Since I am unlikely to become a rock crawling enthusiast, I am letting this rig go in order to concentrate on a stock

'77 2F project that I subsequently purchased to restore as my hwy/off-road everyday driver. This FJ arrived as a running project, so I test drove it prior to storing it in a friend's barn for the winter. The front disc brakes, power steering, transmission & 4-wheel drive operated normally. The rig has a high lift intended for rock crawling that more than accommodated the 33 x 14.5 Super Swamper tires seen in the photos. The Swampers have since been parted out and replaced with a set of (4) Cooper Discoverer H/T tires (70%) mounted on stock cygna white OEM wheels. The frame is in excellent condition. The radiator is currently leaking. I will include a replacement OEM 4-core radiator. The tub & cowl alone are worth what I have set the reserve at. It has some minor holes that wouldn't present any problem to an experianced restorer.

To remove the rig from the barn last week (to part out the Super Swampers), I needed carb starter to get it going, but it repeatedly stalled before getting parked. I suspect a fuel filter replacement or carb cleaning is

needed. A complete tune-up will eventually be required. If time permits, I will get it running again and you can drive onto your trailer, but be prepared to load it alternatively, e.g., with a come along winch. I will assist with loading. This FJ40 is being offered without a title. Let me be clear, THERE IS NO TITLE WITH THIS VEHICLE. Please Note: eBay did not provide a listing option for an untitled vehicle when formatting this listing. According to the PO owner, he was promised but never received the title from the seller from whom he bought it. Since he was going to continue the build as a rock crawler and planned to trailer it anyway, he didn't follow thru to obtain the NC title.This vehicle DOES HAVE the original vin plate on the driver's side cowl door jamb. Two notarized original bills of sale will be provided to the buyer, so that they can retain an original in the event they attempt to re-title the vehicle and are required to submit an original bill of sale.

Please refer to the listing photos for condition details of the parts included (below) in the sale of this project.

Parts included:

* FG roof with operable moonroof

* L & R hardtop side panels

* L & R complete ambulance doors w/ hinges

* L & R complete front doors w/ hinges

* Front bib/grille (modified)

* Set of (4) OEM stock TLC wheels w/ Cooper tires mounted on them (70%)

* Windshield frame (glass cracked on driver's side)

* Roll bar OEM

* Stainless steel headers

* Mickey Thompson valve covers

* Complete NIB wiring harness kit

THE FIRST $2500.00 TAKES IT!!!!!! OR $2000.00 (WITHOUT THE AMBULANCE DOORS & ROOF PANEL)

ALSO AVAILABLE FOR SALE IS A CLEAR TITLED 1972 FJ40 THAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING PARTED OUT. I WILL CONSIDER PACKAGING BOTH VEHICLES TO THE RIGHT BUYER.

Toyota confirms all-wheel drive V8 hybrid for TS040 LMP1 car in 2014

Sun, 02 Feb 2014

The 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship is gearing up to be one of the most exciting seasons of endurance racing in recent memory. All of the factory-entered LMP1 class cars are using hybrid powertrains, and Porsche is returning to the top class of the sport after a 16-year absence. Don't count out Toyota, though. The team has just revealed the first official details about its 2014 TS040 LMP1 car, and it has a big surprise - all-wheel drive.
The TS040 will follow Audi's lead and will use a combination motor and generator to power the front wheels. The system will generate power under braking and will use it up when accelerating to give a boost in traction over last year's rear-wheel-drive Toyota TS030. Toyota will stick with a gasoline-fueled, naturally aspirated 3.4-liter V8 to feed the rear wheels and will take on Audi's diesel, turbocharged 3.7-liter V6 and Porsche's gasoline-fueled, turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
Sadly, there are no real pictures of the TS040 yet. Toyota is holding off on unveiling the car until the end of March at the WEC test at the Paul Ricard circuit, and the racing season doesn't begin until April 20 with the 6 Hours of Silverstone. You can read the whole press release about the TS040 below.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Scion trying to build business case for FR-S convertible as Subaru bows out

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Hope may remain for a convertible version of the Scion FR-S, according to a report from Ward's Auto. You'll recall that rumors were swirling about the feasibility of a rear-drive Toyobaru convertible as early as October, and that back in November, Subaru - which makes the FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 - essentially nixed the idea of an open-topped variant.
"We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen," brand chief Yasuyuki Yoshinaga told Automotive News, according to Ward's, at the Tokyo Motor Show. "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change."
Despite Yoshinaga-san's arguments against a droptop variant, Toyota is apparently still considering the model. Speaking to media at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, Scion's US vice president, Doug Murtha, hinted that the rear-drive droptop was in the works.
