BEAUTIFUL 1978 TOYOTA FJ40 LANDCRUISER FRESHLY RESTORED










WELCOME TO MY AUCTION:


HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A BEAUTIFULLY FRAME ON RESTORED 1978 TOYOTA FJ40 LAND CRUISER.

THIS TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SOUTHWEST TRUCK. IT WAS BOUGHT NEW IN ALBUQUERQUE NEW

MEXICO AND HAS BASICALLY SPENT IT'S WHOLE LIFE HERE. IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL DEALER

WINDOW STICKER FROM NEW IN ALBUQUERQUE.


I AM A RESTORER OF THESE TOYOTA'S . WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IT CAME WITH A FILE FROM THE

PREVIOUS OWNER OF MECHANICAL REBUILDING, MANY MANY RECEIPTS FROM HIS OWNERSHIP.

BEFORE I STARTED THE RESTORATION OF THE BODY AND INTERIOR, I KNEW THE MECHANICS ON THE

FJ40 WERE JUST SUPER. THE TRUCK HAS NO LEAKS! THE ENGINE IS AS SMOOTH AS A SEWING

MACHINE.


NOW FOR WHAT I DID TO THE TRUCK. VIEW ALL PHOTOS SINCE IT SHOWS THE TEAR DOWN AND

REBUILD. THE COMPLETE BODY WAS DISASSEMBLED AND MEDIA BLASTED TO SEE WHAT WAS NEED FOR

A PROPER REPAINT. THE TOYOTA MUSTARD COLOR YOU SEE IS THE FACTORY COLOR IT CAME WITH.

THE TRUCK IS PAINTED WITH DUPONT ACRYLIC ENAMEL INSIDE AND OUT, TOOK THREE GALLONS OF

PAINT FOR THE BEAUTIFUL FINISH YOU SEE HERE TODAY. THE PAINT FINISH IS OUTSTANDING. THE

TRUCK HAD NO FLOOR RUST.  

I ELECTED TO RHINO LINE THE INTERIOR FLOOR SURFACES FOR FUTURE USAGE AND PROTECTION

FROM THE ELEMENTS. AS YOU CAN READ ON THE DEALER STICKER THE TRUCK HAD BEEN UNDERCOATED

BEFORE IT WAS FIRST SOLD, THAT IS WHY THIS TRUCK WAS IN SUCH NICE CONDITION. THE TRUCK

SHOWED TO NEVER HAD BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENTS. EVERY PIECE OF

SHEET METAL ON THIS TRUCK IS ORIGINAL TO THE TRUCK WITH EXCEPTION OF THE REAR SILL UNDER

THE AMBULANCE DOORS. THE SILL WAS SHOWING RUST BLISTERS, I ELECTED TO REPLACE RATHER

THAN REPAIR.

EVERYTHING PAINTED SILVER ON THE TRUCK IS ALSO PAINTED IN DUPONT ACRYLIC ENAMEL. ALSO

EVERYTHING THAT IS IS WHITE IS PAINTED THE SAME WAY.

MOST OF THE ASSEMBLY HARDWARE WAS REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL BOLTS.

YOU ARE VIEWING PHOTOS OF THE TRUCK IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THE RESTORATION.

ALL SEATS HAVE BEEN REDONE ALONG WITH THE FOAM IN FACTORY COLOR. I ALSO ADDED A NEW

CARGO MAT FOR THE REAR AND NEW MATS FOR THE FRONT.

ALL GAUGES FUNCTION AS NEW, TRUCK IS JUST A LITTLE OVER 72,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. ALL

ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN GONE THROUGH. ALL LENSES FOR LIGHTS REPLACED.

ALL WINDOW WIND LACE WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS DOOR SEALS. DOORS SHUT LIKE A NEW CAR.

TRUCK, HAS NO RATTLES OR SQUEAKS.

ALL GLASS IS EXCELLENT.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD DONE SOME OF THE CHROME YOU SEE . I ASKED HIM WHY HE DIDN'T JUST

BUY THE NEW STAINLESS PARTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE? HE SAID HE DID BUT DIDN'T LIKE THE QUALITY

SO HE ELECTED TO HAVE THE BRIGHT WORK YOU SEE CHROME PLATED INSTEAD. THE THINGS HE DID

SHOW VERY NICE.

THE TRUCK HAS 5 NEW NEXEN ALL TERRAIN TIRES . THESE TIRES HAVE THE PLACES FOR STUDS IF

NEEDED FOR YOUR CLIMATE. THEY ARE 10.50X 31X15 INCH, THESE MAKE THE TRUCK STAND UP

PROUD. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS TRUCK HAS NOT HAD THE REAR FENDERS CUT OUT AND FLAIRS ADDED.

THE TRUCK WILL COME WITH A FOLDER FULL OF RECEIPTS FOR WHAT I HAVE DONE AND THE PREVIOUS

OWNER HAD DONE.

THIS CRUISER DOES NOT HAVE POWER STEERING OR AIR CONDITIONING.

BID WITH CONFIDENCE, THIS IS A GORGEOUS FJ40 THAT YOU WILL BE PROUD TO OWN.

ON EBAY FOR 13 YEARS AND MY GOAL IS TO HAVE HAPPY CUSTOMERS.

Toyota recounts past Supra glories

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

It could just be a slow start to the news week around the Toyota offices, but its UK blog has posted a brief history on its legendary Supra sports car. Read into however you'd like, but there has been plenty of speculation as to the return of the Supra nameplate in recent years (including last month from incoming Toyota chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada).
Built from April 1978 through July 2002, Toyota's sports coupe made quite a name for itself as both the Celica Supra (shown above) and the Supra, and the blog post charts many of the changes and highlights through the years. Head on over to the Toyota UK blog to read more about this Supra's history, and then be sure to check out the gallery of images from Toyota spanning all four generations.

These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.
