VEHICLE CONDITION:
This 1978 Toyota FJ cruiser was originally owned by the state of Washington. Bureau of Land Managment. It was used to chase bears away and perform other BLM chores. All the maintainance was done according to specifications and the records were reviewed by the car collector I bought the car from. It was stored in his warehouse and used as a sunday driver around town. I purchased this FJ40 around 6 years ago from him and it has been garaged since. I used to drive it on weekends around town with my kids who are now much older and have moved on to "more interesting" weekend fun so it's time for this gem to find a new home.
NOTE: This is not a restored FJ. It is a very well maintained and original SURVIVOR.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE:
HFS (Hell for stout) suspension from CCOT (Cool cruisers of Texas) Toyota springs with CCOT Brass Shackles etc.,
BF Goodrich tires with less than 500 miles on them.
Replaced headliner.
New rubber and window seals in great shape, no rattles.
Rims powder coated white.
Seat belts new.
New master cylinder.
Like new bucket seats.
Flip down seats in great shape.
Is set up for towing with plug reciver and bumper brackets for Blue Ox tow bar (tow bar not included).
Passes California smog and has original smog specs under the hood (very important).
Original LandCruiser manual.
Original 2F 4.2 LT. six cylinder motor runs great.
All features work as they should. Heater, directional signals, brake lights, headlights, running lights.
This FJ40 shifts great. The 4x4 and 2x4 all work nicely. The brakes, parking brake and clutch are all good to go.
The color is Buffalo Brown and and as you can see by the photos is in excellent condition.
I have taken pictures of the few small areas of imperfection. The dash has two cracks. There is a small chip on the hood where it touches the roof with the hood up. There are 3 very small areas where the paint is bubbling about the size of a quarter and dime. These spots are on the drivers front fender and the drivers door, bottom outside.
There is a small oil leak in the rear main seal.
I have talked to Spector offroad and the folks at CCOT and the gasket to fix it is cheap but the labor is not. The experts tell me they all leak, so if fixed, the leak will just return in a few years. Anyway I did not bother.
The radio is AM/FM with CD player. The speakers are in the original spot but have been replaced. No holes were drilled or cutouts made to replace the old speakers. The trim piece for the stereo was modified slightly to accommodate the the new stereo but I have the original trim piece should you want to put the original AM radio back in.
She is a beauty, in excellent original condition. I have many more pictures for those interested. Please be specific when asking for additional photos because I have over 100. I was limited to 24 shots by EBAY.
I will help with shipping.
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION so
Good luck bidding to all interested.

Toyota Prius gets higher clearance, better suspension in Pakistan
Thu, Jan 2 2014It's been 16 years since the Toyota Prius launched in Japan. Finally, the world's most popular hybrid is becoming the first hybrid car to show up in Pakistan. This version of the Prius has been customized by Indus Motor Company (IMC) in order to deal with, well, let's just say some challenging road conditions. IMC knows what it's doing, and has modified Toyota and Daihatsu vehicles for the Pakistani market for over 20 years. The Prius brings with it the iconic shape and Parvez Ghias, CEO of IMC, told The Technology Times that the car's arrival, "is indeed a great milestone, not only in the history of IMC, but, of the entire nation." Pakistan Today says that IMC is beefing up the ground clearance of the imported Priuses and adds a "robust suspension system." Why would this be important? Well, the US Department of State warns travelers to beware of crowded roads, aggressive and poorly trained drivers and bad roads that could include potholes and sharp drop-offs. Then there's the "donkeys, cattle, horse carts, and even the occasional camel [that] can pose roadside hazards in some areas." There's also the big problem of terrorism-related violence in Pakistan, but we haven't heard that the Pakistan Prius has been bullet- and shrapnel-proofed.
Average transaction prices climb to a record $36,270 in January
Sat, Feb 3 2018The automotive sector made a hash of the numbers last month, a mess of pluses and minuses clogging the transaction-price charts according to Kelley Blue Book. The overall industry rose one percent, even though buyers bought fewer cars and light vehicles in January 2018 vs 2017 using the selling-day adjusted rate. Due to January transaction prices rising to $36,270, a record for January, the value of new vehicles sold climbed more than $1 billion compared to January 2017. KBB's transaction prices don't include customer incentives, which changes the complexion slightly; average incentive spending rose to just over ten percent. The average transaction price in December 2017 was $36,756, so January dropped a bit - nothing unexpected, with the month annually blamed for "January doldrums." More revealing is the fact that the average transaction price in January 2017 was $34,910. This year's plumped-up figure came courtesy of the continued shift to crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks, which shouldn't surprise anyone who's read an automotive blog in the past 20 years. That category comprised nearly 70 percent of new vehicle sales for the month. Some manufacturers profited more than others, though. Fiat Chrysler managed 12.8 percent fewer sales in January compared year-on-year, but the company's vehicles sold for $1,300 more. The Ford brand suffered a 6.3-percent dip in sales, but brand transaction prices increased $2,000, while a Lincoln sold for $8,700 more on average. General Motors sold more cars and sold them for more money; overall GM transaction prices rose four percent, or $1,270, while a GMC traded hands for seven-percent more than in January 2017 and a Cadillac got $2,300 more on average. Of KBB's listed automakers, the Volkswagen Group got the most of out its customers, transaction prices rising at the German automaker by 5.6 percent to $42,243 in January 2018 compared to a year earlier. American Honda followed with a 4.3-percent increase to $28,991, GM in third at 4.1 percent to $40,313. Find your next car at Autoblog using our new and used car listings or the Car Finder tool. Broken out by segment, minivans rocked the table, transaction prices leaping by 7.9 percent to $35,380 compared to January a year earlier. Luxury cars boasted the next-highest rise, at 3.6 percent to $58,533.
Mazda and Toyota formally announce plans to 'make cars better'
Wed, May 13 2015Following Monday's report that Toyota and Mazda could be expanding their cooperation, the two Japanese automakers have made it official, issuing a joint press release announcing a "mutually beneficial long-term partnership" that will "make cars better." The two companies will set up a joint committee to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of each party. As we explained yesterday, that likely means Mazda will benefit from Toyota's plug-in-hybrid and fuel-cell tech, while the world's largest automaker can take advantage of the Zoom-Zoom automaker's line of efficient Skyactiv engines. "I am delighted that our two companies can share the same vision and work together to make cars better. I can think of nothing more wonderful than showing the world – together – that the next 100 years of cars will be just as fun as the first," Toyota President Akio Toyoda said in the attached joint statement. Mazda President and CEO Masamichi Kogai echoed that sentiment, saying: "I hope that by working together to make cars better, we can raise the value of cars in the eyes of consumers while also enhancing the manufacturing capabilities of our home, Hiroshima, and all the communities we are involved in as well." Scroll down for the official joint press release. Toyota and Mazda Team Up to Make Cars Better Tokyo, Japan, May 13, 2015-Toyota Motor Corporation and Mazda Motor Corporation today entered an agreement to build a mutually beneficial long term partnership. By leveraging the resources of both companies to complement and enhance each other's products and technologies, the partnership will result in more appealing cars that meet the diverse needs and tastes of customers all over the world. A joint committee will now be set up to evaluate how best to utilize each company's respective strengths. The committee will encourage broad and meaningful collaboration across a range of fields, including environmental and advanced safety technologies. Marking the agreement, Toyota President Akio Toyoda said: "As evidenced by their SKYACTIV Technologies and KODO-Soul of Motion design, Mazda has proven that it always thinks of what is coming next for vehicles and technology, while still managing to stay true to its basic carmaking roots. In this way, Mazda very much practices what Toyota holds dear: making ever-better cars. I am delighted that our two companies can share the same vision and work together to make cars better.
