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 will race C-HR CUV in 2016 Nurburgring 24 Hours

Fri, Jan 15 2016

There won't just be traditional racecars competing in the 2016 Nurburgring 24 Hours; Toyota Gazoo Racing will take the bizarre route of prepping the C-HR crossover for the grueling event. The squad will enter more conventional machines, too, including a Lexus RC and RC F for the race that will run from May 26-29. Details about the C-HR Racing are scant at the moment. "We decided to take on the new challenge of creating ever-better cars using a crossover rather than a pure sports car," the company's announcement said. It makes no mention of the vehicle's specs, but the included photo show the CUV with a more aggressive front fascia, vents along the hood, and a big wing at the rear. The driver lineup includes Masahiko Kageyama, Kumi Sato, and another person to be announced later. Toyota will reportedly introduce the production version of the C-HR at the Geneva Motor Show, and the final one will allegedly carry over the current rakish shape and hybrid powertrain. The company also showed it with Scion badging at the 2015 LA Auto Show to suggest a likely arrival in the US. This year will mark a decade of Gazoo Racing's competition in the 24 Hours of the 'Ring. The squad notably raced the LFA there for several years, but it showed a willingness to bring weirder vehicles too like a Lexus CT 200h in 2011. Nothing has been quite as odd as racing a crossover there, though. Toyota GAZOO Racing Celebrates Decade of Participation in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring with Triple Entry for 2016 Race Toyota City, Japan, January 15, 2016-Toyota GAZOO Racing announces the entry of three vehicles-a Toyota C-HR Racing*, a Lexus RC, and a Lexus RC F-in the 44th 24 Hours of Nurburgring endurance race to be held in Germany from May 26 to 29, 2016. The 24 Hours of Nurburgring plays an important role in Toyota's motorsports activities for building ever-better human resources and vehicles under intense racing conditions. Beginning in 2007, the 2016 event marks the 10th year of Toyota's participation in the race under the banner of GAZOO racing. When asked to look back over the last ten years, team representative Akio Toyoda said, "I remember GAZOO Racing first taking on the challenge of the Nurburgring in 2007 in an Altezza like it was yesterday. There are so many memories running through my mind–the interaction with the roads of the Nurburgring, whose characteristics seem to change with each shift in the weather, the meeting and parting with new and valuable friends.

2015 Toyota Camry set to circle NASCAR track near you

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Toyota recently introduced the all-new 2015 Camry for the street, so it follows that it should want to promote its new bread-and-butter sedan by putting it out on the racetrack as well. And that's just what it's done here with the release of the new Toyota Camry for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
The new Camry represents the first reskin of the standard stock car chassis since the Gen-6 model was introduced in 2012. Toyota's Calty Design studio worked closely with series organizers to determine which parts could be redesigned to more closely resemble the new production model, and what you see here is the result. Since it is based on the same control chassis as all the others, the Camry's skin is applied over a steel tube frame and powered by an old-school 5.86-liter pushrod V8 mated to a four-speed manual gearbox.
Although the idea of a Japanese automaker in American stock car racing didn't initially get the warmest reception from some of the good ol' boys when it first entered the series back in 2007, it has by now become a staple of the NASCAR circuit. After all, it's hard for even the most patriotic of racing fans to argue with the US-built Camry's ranking as one of the most American cars by content on the market.

Toyota GT86 convertible on 'indefinite hold'

Sat, 05 Oct 2013

Bad news, sportscar fans. According to a new report from What Car?, Toyota has cancelled plans to produce a GT86 convertible, a model based on the FT-86 Open Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. In truth, Toyota never actually confirmed it would produce the budget-friendly droptop in the first place, but rumors have been flying since last year and Toyota reportedly showed its embattled Scion dealers a FR-S version of the convertible in August. Presumably, this means that a lidless variant of the Subaru BRZ is not in the cards, either.
The reason for the move is unknown, though What Car? reports "one possible cause is weight; Toyota did say that further work would be required on rigidity before the convertible could be launched, and that could have added extra bulk that conflict with the regular GT86's ethos of light weight and agile handling." It doesn't look like that work will happen anytime soon, as "sources now say that the car has now been delayed indefinitely, with no place in Toyota's product plan in either 2014 or 2015." Still holding out hope? What Car? says the project could be "fast-tracked" if management decides it wants to reboot the program down the road.
