IF YOU ARE INTERESTED EMAIL ME AT: antonioalleeker@hairdressers.net . ​1978 Toyota FJ 40 Land Cruiser
Awesome SUV in EXCEPTIONAL shape! Truly turns head wherever she goes! With bold Mustard Yellow paint
and clean lines, this beauty will definitely be a welcomed addition to your garage, collection or the perfect cure
for your mid-life crisis!
Spring-over axle. Beefier shackles suspension and 35/12.50/ORLT tires gives it approximately 10" of lift. This FJ
is one tall glass of water! Near PERFECT interior with stock front seats and rear jump seats. Truck has roll bar,
luggage rack, working front and rear heater, radio, front disc brakes, power steering, weld wheels and swing away
tire rack with spare tire. Roof is detachable (with some effort) for some topless Summer & Fall journey's.
Engine is the Toyota 2F G cylinder backed up with a 4 speed manual transmission. The truck was restored about 5 to
6 years ago to the best of my knowledge. It is covered in a rather unique metallic yellow paint that glitters in
the sun, which is the same hue as the original Toyota Mustard Yellow #532. My father and I bought the truck 2 years
ago and loved it, however I have since moved to NYC where this truck is not practical, so it is being sold. The
vehicle is currently in Maryland and has been garage kept since purchased. Odometer reads 98k, but unclear if those
are original miles.
The only real flaws in this FJ40 are a few bubbles in the paint at a few seams and very minor dings only noticeable
when viewing up close. She is nearly 40, so let's think about how many dings we have at 40! Fortunately, she's
seen a good surgeon. All around, this FJ40 is an incredibly FUN truck which gets attention at every corner! Would
love to see her go to someone who can enjoy as much as we have!
Truck is currently located in Howard County, Maryland and available to be viewed in person by appointment.
Please, NO TRADES! 100% not looking to trade for any vehicle, motorcycle, raccoon, wizard or acrobatic circus
animal. Only looking for a sale. Live in Manhattan and no matter how sexy your car is, I don't need another set of
wheels :)

Toyota may return to F1 under Lexus banner

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

A new report in from the website Club Lexus claims to have insider knowledge about a return to Formula One racing by Toyota, this time under the auspices of the Lexus brand. Toyota competed in F1 from 2002 through the 2009 season. That final year saw the team return competitive, if inconsistent results, but the larger economic woes in the automotive market made a decision to pull the plug relatively easy at the time.
Now, citing recent interviews with Toyota executives and insider sources, Club Lexus says that the move to re-enter F1 for the 2014 season is "all but finalized." The choice to go with the Lexus nameplate over Toyota makes some sense, too, considering the success that rival Infiniti has had in recent years through its partnership with Red Bull Racing. Further, the emerging Lexus identity as a performance car builder, with a strong background in hybrid vehicles, could help the F1 move resonate with buyers.
A few technological factors and formula changes within F1 offer some credence to the Lexus rumor, too. F1 will increase the available capacity of KERS from 60kW to 120kW, a change that theoretically benefits the hybrid-savvy Toyota. What's more, 2014 will see a switch from the current 2.4-liter V8 engines to 1.6-liter turbocharged V6s. A Lexus team that goes racing in 2014 will be on a level playing field with the rest of the grid then, with all teams adjusting to and continuing to develop the new engines.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
