This is an incredible rare find - maybe not quite a 'barn' find - but it is our understanding that it was in a garage and storage unit for most of its life with only two previous owners. The original owner bought it up near Elko Nevada and used it for prospecting and trapping in the high desert area three hours east of Reno. The second owner knew him when he was younger and often asked him if he could buy it - then one day in 2009 the original owner went to his house and offered it to him for sale - the second owner had almost forgot what he was talking about! We visited the second owner last year and were lucky enough to purchase it. We also found one gas receipt from December 1978 when the original owner purchased gas - 66.9 cents per gallon - full tank $9.90! Well - it's too nice for us to keep and two kids starting college shortly need their tuition paid - now - but we did freshen it up and added a few upgrades with a complete and light frame on restoration. Everything about this FJ 40 is like a time capsule from 1978 with 42k original low miles. It shifts and runs like new. The doors open and close as if they were new - the engine idles and runs smoothly at 65mph all day long. The transmission shifts perfectly through all forward gears and reverse, and it transfers effortlessly to 4wd. Original AM radio, never used orig Work Light and the glovebox outlet works, Orig touch up paint can and orig manuals. Everything works electronically - All gauges and switches work with upgraded actual water temp - can be removed and reinstalled to temp guage - your choice - but it is nice to know the exact temperature. All orig factory tools/bag, jack and components as they came from the factory. Original factory dash has no cracks or wear of any kind, original Toyota front floor mat is like new, rear orig insulated mat in great condition. Original door panels are in like new condition with no signs of wear of any kind. All weather stripping in great condition. The windows crank up and down with little effort. All Original Factory Toyota Glass, including the windshield. If you choose to fly in and pick it up personally - and drive it back - I would have no worries you would make it home mechanically - its that nice and dependable. It would also be quite a deal at our reserve price compared to the ones completely restored ones that have sold at auction recently for $77K and $105K. New Exterior Upgrades: New professionally installed complete Old Man Emu Dakar Stock 2-2 1/2" Ultimate Light Lift Kit. Kit included: CS001F Emu Dakar Front Leaf Springs N81 Front OME Nitrocharger Shock Aborber CS001R Emu Dakar Rear Leaf Springs N89/N95 Rear Nitrocharger Shock Absorber SB30/SB1 OME Poly Spring Bushing Kits OMEGS1/8 OME Greasable Front Shackle Kit OMEGS9/2 OME Greasable Rear Shackle Kit OME GP8/1 OME Greasable Pin Kit OMESD23 OME Steering Stabilizer OMEU59A/59B/55 OME U-Bolts & Nuts (orig leaf springs are in like new condition and would be available to discuss) New COOT Winch Bumper with the famous FJ40 Warn 8724 Winch and new Wire Rope New BFG 33" x 10.5" x 15" Tires mounted on the original wheels - all five wheels and tires.

New Sony AM/FM Stereo complete with Bluetooth (hands free), CD, Aux and USB ports, Satilite ready, and drink holders (orig fact console available). We may advertise locally and would reserve the right to sell if the Reserve is not reached. Feel free to call, text or email - we will post additional pictures and videos off of ebays site. Additional videos may have to be emailed directly to you - send a text to our number that has your email address and we will send asap. If you are interested in Power Steering or Air Conditioning - we can have those new components professionally installed for an additional $4000 over our reserve price, or final selling price, or it can be a negotiated discussion. The Power Steering would be a bolt on system - no welding - that is offered by Classic Cruisers, and the AC system also offered by Classic Cruisers maintains the original heater and heating system and is a proven system to add value to your cruiser. We would need approximately two weeks to have those systems installed if your interested.

Santa swaps his sleigh for a Ferrari-powered Toyota
Fri, Dec 23 2016A Ferrari-powered Toyota 86 is sure to garner a bit of attention, as well it should. We've been paying attention throughout this build, so it should be no surprise then that Santa did as well. He's ditched his red sleigh for the Gumout GT4586 in this video. If you've been following along, you know that Ryan Tuerck and Gumout built this completely bonkers machine that's far more exciting than some previous Japanese/Italian mash-up automobiles. Donut Media has been doing their part to document and promote every stage of the process. This new video is filled with the gratuitous amounts of lights, noise, and tire smoke that Donut is known for. We don't know the conversion from horsepower to reindeerpower, but the GT4586 should provide plenty of oomph for Santa's Christmas trek.

Next-gen Toyota Prius spied inside and out
Fri, 24 May 2013Toyota has built itself into the industry's standard-bearer when it comes to hybrids, and it isn't going to let the poster child for gas-electric vehicles get stale on the market. These spy shots captured in California are our first good look at the next-generation Prius, which could come to market wearing a 2015 model year designation.
Even though it looks like Toyota may have blown its annual camouflage budget on this mule, we can clearly see that it will have the same iconic half-moon design that has been with the car since 2003. If so, this goes against reports from last year that suggested the car would be getting a different look inspired by the 2013 NS4 Concept. Although, this could also indicate that the Prius family will continue to grow - adding a new sedan - to the existing Prius C, Prius V and Prius Plug-In lineup.
These spy shots also give us an indication as to what the interior will look like, with a more stylish three-spoke steering wheel and an instrument panel design that sort of reminds us of a BMW. On the other hand, all the tape, cobbled together pieces and lack of space for a center stack display screen has us thinking this isn't what the final product will resemble.
Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind
Wed, 24 Apr 2013Toyota still holds the title of World's Largest Automaker. The Japanese automaker ceded the claim to General Motors in 2011 following a series of natural and man-made disasters that stifled production in Asia. Production is back up to full speed and, coupled with the introduction of a new Camry midsize sedan, Toyota retook the title in 2012 and has so far been able to keep it by selling 2.43 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2013.
The race is still tight - General Motors reports sales of 2.36 million vehicles, earning it the second spot globally with Volkswagen's 2.27 million sales nabbing the German automaker third place. It's not all smooth sailing for Toyota, either, as the brand's first-quarter figures were down 2.2 percent when compared to last year. GM posted a 3.6-percent gain and VW managed a 5.1-percent gain over the same period.
Sales in China may be a deciding factor as to which automaker performs best in 2013. Toyota's figures were down 13 percent in China. Meanwhile, GM and VW are continuing their upward trajectories in the crucial Chinese market.
