Up for auction is my rare in the U.S. and absolutely beautiful 1980 BJ40 Toyota Landcruiser with 4 spd manual and
2B 3.2L, indestructible Toyota Diesel Engine. The odometer currently shows approximately 150,000 km (turned over
once) which comes out to approximately 93,000 original miles. This may change because I do drive it some for fun
and because it is the most reliable vehicle I own. The truck has absolutely no rust anywhere and was resprayed in
its original Toyota Red color in 2014. This was a frame off repaint and the truck had very little rust at the time
so there was no need to replace body panels-just to primer, sand, and paint. The paint job is not perfect, but it
does look beautifully renewed and shines in the mid-day New Mexico sun. The instrument cluster, seats, switches,
wiring, door lock hardware, windshield wipers, windshield sprayer, fuse panel, wiring, taillights, license plate,
axels, transmission, frame, motor, and various other parts are all original. Some of the ancillary accessory parts
such as turn signals, hood latches, sun visors, and some other wear items are replacement items sourced as Toyota
OEM, mostly new old stock, sometimes used. Comes with a Toyota Landcruiser original 3-piece floor mat for the front
seats.
This truck has been sorted and gone through and it drives and rides great. It sits at the original ride height on
original leaf springs and shackles. The shocks were replaced at some point in the past. The wheels are Toyota OEM
15" steel wheels with Toyota hubcaps. The tires are brand new as the old ones were showing signs of dry rot and
cracking. This is a beautiful, nearly show truck, that you will absolutely love.

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of

Toyota RAV4 EV lease gets cut in half to $299/month

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

If you're in the market for a new electric vehicle, now is definitely the time to buy or lease. Following price drops on just about every other EV on the market, Toyota is looking to push a few more all-electric RAV4 crossovers out the door over the Labor Day weekend. The Detroit News is reporting that, through September 3, anyone looking to get into a RAV4 EV in Los Angeles or San Francisco, can get a deal: a $299 a month lease (no word on down payment, though) or zero-percent financing for 60 months for buyers.
The $49,800 RAV4 EV normally leases for twice as much - $599 a month - so this move could be an attempt to sell more of the 2,600 units Toyota has planned to produce. Or maybe, if you thought $599 was a fair price, you can now get two RAV4 Evs. Although temporary, the price drop comes at a time when many other EVs on the market have had their prices reduced, including the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Smart Fortwo ED and Honda Fit EV, not to mention already low prices for the Fiat 500e and Chevy Spark EV.
