1985 Toyota Fj60 Landcruiser Land Cruiser 4x4 4 Spd Manual 2f Fj62 Fj40 on 2040-cars
Chardon, Ohio, United States
Up for auction is my 1985 Toyota FJ60 Land Cruiser. Chances are if your looking at this you already know what awesome vehicles these can be. I purchased this mid summer wanting to restore it but I have since changed my mind to wanting a 80 Series Cruiser instead. This LC has had 2 previous owners and has been in Ohio its whole life. Fortunately when it was new the owner took it to Tuff-Kote Dinol and had the entire truck undercoated. This has kept the frame and undercarriage in good shape over the years. Dont get me wrong it does have rust but no bad scaling or broken frame pieces like you might expect for a Cruiser in Ohio. As you can see from pics the body has some rust and holes but nothing that couldn't be fixed. I lifted carpet and looked at usual trouble spots around wheel wells and this area is in very good shape. Inside back sill by tailgate is rust free as well.
This LC is not currently road ready. It has not run in a couple years at least. Previous owner said last time it ran was in 2008 or so. She couldnt really remember. I poured some gas down the carb a couple days ago and filled the float bowl so the sight window was full and then tonight I checked oil for any moisture and it was clean and moisture free so I put a battery in it and she fired right up. Got it to idle for a few seconds while my buddy poured gas into the carb. Motor sounded good and I think with a carb clean or possible rebuild it will be good to go. The gas tank was empty as well. I put a container of dry gas in it along with about 2 gallons of gas and the gauge went up slightly. I loosened the fuel inlet line at the carb and some gas did spray out so its getting to carb. I'd guess the float or needle is stuck from sitting. I havent dug into it any further yet. I did notice the choke cable is froze and will need replaced or lubed. It looks like all SMOG equipment is still installed too. You can tell by the shape of the interior that this LC has led a pretty easy life. All body mounting points and frame crossmembers are in good shape. Inner fenders etc etc are all solid. All windows roll down and all doors lock. The back door opens and locks as it should too. Both bumpers are in decent shape and the truck has a hitch and is wired for a plug too. When pushing in the clutch it has a good feel to it though I havent driven it yet. Looking around under the truck it appears to have newer brake lines and the fuel supply lines are in good shape as far as I can tell. I think this LC is a great candidate to save and fix the body and drive it for many years to come. The interior is in really nice shape. The carpet and seats have a few stains but with a good shampoo and vacuum they would be respectable as is. The headliners nice and tight too. All gauges appear to work and it has an aftermarket radio in it as well as an auxilary cigarette lighter outlet for a GPS or cell phone car charger. All heater functions work and the blowers work too. This LC has the rear heater in it too. All wipers work and the front washers work too. All lights and turn signals work as they should as well. This LC also has cruise control. Please checkout the pics and let me know if you have questions. I am looking to move this quickly so if you have an offer please dont be shy, worst I'll say is no. If you have an 80 series to trade let me know too. Let me know if you have any questions and I will do my best to answer them. I can work with you on shipping. I have included a USHIP link in this auction so you can get an estimated cost from them if the LC needs transported. I have for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end auction for local sale. Cash upon pickup is good or wire transfer or Paypal is good too. I can take credit cards too. Clean paper in hand. **This is being relisted due to a nonpaying buyer on the last auction. If you dont intend to pay then dont bid, its really pretty simple. Pls dont waste my time and I wont waste yours** Thank You for looking and good luck!

Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build
Sat, 08 Jun 2013If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.
Automakers paying Chinese dealers for lower-than-expected sales
Sat, Jan 10 2015The Chinese dealers vs. foreign manufacturers story won't quit. It began with a story on the struggles faced by FAW-Toyota joint venture dealers, with supposedly 95 percent of the showrooms losing money, and 10 percent of them doing so poorly that they'd have to exit the business. The problem is mandated sales targets, most set when the country's economy was racing. Now that things have slowed, China's dealers are swimming in unsold cars and the costs to keep them. In the case of FAW-Toyota, dealers asked Toyota to hand over 2.2 billion yuan ($355 million) to help address the situation. That was followed by a report noting the issues that Honda, BMW, and Nissan dealers are having with the same issue, revealing that the Chinese Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) had taken the highly unusual step of writing to the Chinese government to complain. Now Reuters reports that CADA is not only pressing its case even harder, it's being open about it: it announced that BMW agreed to pay dealers 5.1 billion yuan ($820 million) to alleviate poor profits last year. Unnamed sources said Audi has thrown 2 billion yuan into the kitty for subsidies, and Daimler has contributed "about 1 billion yuan" to its dealers. The battle isn't just about 2014, but how business will be run in 2015 as well: Chinese Porsche dealers have requested the automaker lower its 2015 target of 64,000 cars, which would be a 40-percent increase on its 2014 sales of 46,931 vehicles. One analyst called it "shocking" that the CADA has taken its fight public, while CADA comments continue to imply that dealers have been railroaded to the cliff's edge without recourse. "Due to the difference in status," it's deputy secretary said, "individual dealers are not willing to, or don't dare to, talk frankly with the carmakers...." Both parties need one another, so they'll figure out a way to make it work – but that could mean acknowledging the Chinese market is behaving more like a mature one, not an emerging one.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Toyota 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.
