1978 Toyota Fj45 Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Cumming, Georgia, United States
|
This is a very nice, original FJ45 that is daily driven with 178K on the clock. I searched long and hard to find this truck, and I sincerely hope somebody that truly appreciates them wins the auction. Mechanically, it needs nothing that I`m aware of and I drive it regularly, sometimes daily. I will say that at one point last month after driving in downtown traffic for almost an hour of stop and go, I think I felt the clutch slipping in 3rd gear. I have driven it more than a few times since then, but have not noticed it. I did order a new clutch (stock) from Cruiser Corps. and it will go with the truck. If you're familiar with these, you know how difficult it is to find a left hand drive late model truck like this in the US that isn't rusty. My best guess is that this truck was rust proofed at the dealer when new, because the frame and floors are in excellent shape. The body has a few places here and there, but as far as FJs go, this truck is nice and is definitely not a "rust case" and never has been. The engine is strong, transmission (4-speed) is great but if you're looking to go to the drag strip you might want to consider another vehicle. The steering is tight, brakes are great and everything works as it should (even the dome light) The BFG all terrains are in great shape, with far more than 50% tread life.
This will be my second time in ten years selling a vehicle on Ebay, so if my ad/format reads goofy, my apologies. I will gladly accommodate shipping to any location you choose (on your dime) I doubt any sensible person would want to drive much more than a few hundred miles in this tank, but schedule permitting I will pick you up or meet you at true airport here in Atlanta. This FJ was imported originally from Canada, but has been registered here in the south for many years and has current tag and registration. In Ga. they don't need a title on anything older than 1986 and will be sold with a bill of sale. If your state requires a title, let me know and I'll do my best to work out getting one for you. |

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
Toyota nearing $1B settlement of unintended acceleration criminal probe
Sun, 09 Feb 2014According to those all-too-nebulous "people familiar with the matter," Toyota is close to a settlement with the US federal government to end a criminal probe over its long-running unintended acceleration fiasco. Though Toyota has never admitted guilt, the deal could reportedly crest a billion dollars and would likely include a criminal deferred prosecution agreement, and while we're not legal experts, The Wall Street Journal explains that such a deal would "[force Toyota] to accept responsibility while avoiding the potentially crippling consequences of federal criminal convictions."
The report from WSJ also suggests that Toyota is facing charges that it "made false or incomplete disclosures" to various government agencies regarding possible defects to its cars. Such charges may include mail and wire fraud violations. Toyota has already paid out fines totaling $66.2 million to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because it failed to report safety defects in a timely manner.
This deal with the federal government is not related to the billion-dollar class-action settlement reached with Toyota owners over falling vehicle values, and it's also different from the roughly 400 lawsuits still in courts alleging personal injury of wrongful death due to cases of unintended acceleration. In other words, don't expect to hear the end of such courtroom verdicts and settlements anytime soon...
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
