Here we have an original Cygnus White (code 031) 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 84,200 miles. Original Engine, Transmission, Body, Top, Doors and Interior. There has been regular maintenance and the owner has done what is needed along the way to keep the Land Cruiser looking and running good.

Details & Condition


This gal has survived over three decades while remaining essentially stock. She has a precious few of the nicks and scratches that come with 35 years of age but she still turns heads and is in overall excellent condition. This is a good running Cruiser with a lot of get up and go compared to many I have driven. You will NOT find diamond plate, fender flares, 8-track tape decks, jerry cans, roof racks, a V8 or other modifications. The original inline six fires right up and the steering, clutch and 4-Wheel Drive transmission are all in good working order as they should be for a vehicle with 84,200 miles. The turn signals, lights, wipers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers and all gauges work perfectly. The vehicle was repainted in the original color and sports Toyota chrome wheels from an FJ60. Inside you will find the original mats and seats that have been recovered in the correct gray vinyl. The FJ40 suspension is comprised of rugged solid axles and leaf springs that provide an additional 2.5" of lift. The truck's original 4-speed manual transmission serves up legendary off-road prowess. Front disc and rear drum brake combination provide quick and responsive braking. At the back of the truck's frame you will find bumperettes flanking a 2” ball for towing your toys of choice.

Inside this classic you will find the original seats covered in correct gray vinyl. The interior door panels, mats, dashpad are in beautiful condition. The original headliner is still in place. Between the seats you will find the locking Tuffy center console with gray vinyl armrest. Inside the Tuffy is a Sony AM/FM/CD driving waterproof marine style Sony speakers and a Bazooka Bass tube in back.

Also included for summer topless fun is an Aluminum Aqualu tailgate with locking storage and two matching rear marine grade Sony speakers. The underside of this Cruiser could use a good bath, it looks pretty typical and there is surface rust, mud and dirt underneath. The windshield is cracked from a rock hit in the very lower corner on the drivers side. I decided to let it be as it's way down in the corner.

A little Land Cruiser History - 1980 was a great year for the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. By 1980 you had the ambulance doors in the rear that replaced the old lift/tailgate, larger square front Turn Signals with side markers. Squared off front bezel surrounding the headlights. Wipers were moved to bottom of windshield. 3:70 gearing provided better on-road performance without sacrificing off road performance. Front disk brakes, Tubular spare tire mount, Pop-out rear windows gave passengers in back some fresh air. (End of History lesson)

Summary


This truck is not a garage queen. It’s your basic utilitarian FJ40 that looks great and is ready to be enjoyed. Park it at the cabin or take it over a mountain pass to your favorite trout stream. Other than described, this is a well sorted unmolested, factory-original FJ40 that you can drive everyday and will attract a small following of admiring fans.

This FJ40 includes the original Owners manual, Owners Guide, Toolkit, Jack, Jack rods. This truck is on consignment with Land Cruiser Nation. High bidder is responsible for pick up or delivery, I will assist in any way I can. I would like a wire transfer within 5 business days.

Toyota GT86 convertible could debut in March

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

The dates are lining up, now we wait to see how the badges align. Just before the Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ line-up was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, there was a report that Subaru was considering a convertible while Toyota wouldn't even comment on it. That got swapped around when earlier this year the chief engineer on Toyota's side said a convertible was coming, and then a Scion FR-S droptop was confirmed for early 2014.
Autocar now reports that the Toyota GT 86 convertible will make its first appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. In a car whose specs like weight, packaging, horsepower and center of gravity were all tightly controlled to get the most from the least, the changes necessitated by chopping the roof could make this a very different car. It's said to employ a fabric roof to keep a "small" weight gain check, and the suspension will be softened to work more harmoniously with the decreased body stiffness. And somewhere in all that the back seat and trunk space will need to take a hit.
In other news, Autocar says the hi-po GT 86 with some kind of capacitor system instead of batteries is being worked on for 2015.

Subaru Indiana plant to stop building Toyota Camry

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Subaru may be set to end production of the Toyota Camry at its Lafayette, IN facility by 2017, according to a report from the Louisville Journal-Courier and a CBS affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina. Speaking to the plant's Executive Vice President Tom Easterday, the whole affair sounds like a done deal.
"Based on changes in Toyota's production plans, they have decided that the award-winning Camry production contract will not be renewed," Easterday said. Easterday was quick to emphasize that just because Camry production would end, doesn't mean jobs will be lost. "There will be no loss of jobs at SIA as a result of this," he said, before adding that the loss of Camry production will have no impact Subaru's $400 million investment to ready the plant for Impreza production in 2016. That said, adding a promised 900 jobs may take longer than originally planned, as Camry production staff are set to be retrained on Subaru production.
SIA currently has the capacity to produce 100,000 Camrys per year, and began production of the family sedan in 2007 alongside production of the Subaru Outback, Legacy and eventually, the soon-to-be-discontinued Tribeca.

2017 Scion FR-S getting slight power bump?

Tue, May 12 2015

A common refrain when discussing the Scion FR-S and its sibling the Subaru BRZ is that they are capable vehicles but are in need of more power. The latest rumors suggest that some more muscle might finally be on the way for the coupe's refresh. Don't expect something like the STI Performance Concept with a 300-horsepower, turbocharged flat-four, though – the gains in the real world are likely to be significantly more modest. According to Toyota insiders speaking with Motoring in Australia, the local Toyota GT86 (our FR-S) is due for a styling and powertrain refresh for the next model year. The 2.0-liter boxer four-cylinder engine isn't expected to get a drastic power increase, but it's not being completely neglected. A new intake manifold and friction reductions reportedly allow for five percent more grunt. If accurate, and if the changes also come here, that would take output of the US version to 210 hp and 159 pound-feet of torque. The adjustments could improve fuel economy by seven percent, as well. Handling is already a forte for the FR-S and BRZ, and things could get even better with this refresh. Motoring claims that dampers from Sachs might become standard equipment, along with a reinforced subframe. The close relationship with the BRZ reportedly rules out any dramatic changes to the styling for this update. However, the coupe is still likely to wear a new hood with vents in it, reshaped headlights, and a revised fascia with a larger lower grille. At the rear, expect a rear diffuser and exhaust pipes at the corners. While minor compared to all of these rumored updates, Scion recently gave the FR-S a few tweaks in the US for the 2016 model year (pictured above). In addition to some new colors and interior trim, it now comes standard with a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system and rearview camera.
