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.

2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro

Thu, 23 Oct 2014

Despite the earnest efforts of Japanese automakers like Toyota and Nissan, the American pickup truck scene remains wholly dominated by the likes of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. This is not news. Part of the reason is because of the sheer number of variants offered by US automakers - everything from work-spec base trucks to house-leveling heavy duty models can be had, with a seemingly endless combination of engines, cab sizes, bed lengths and trim levels. It's a hugely profitable business, and though the Japanese automakers still offer competitive fullsize trucks, in terms of sheer volume, they simply don't compete.
But American pickups aren't just about work; there's a huge play aspect involved, too. Look at the desert-storming Ford F-150 SVT Raptor or the Ram Power Wagon - these butch trucks are built with superb off-road prowess in mind, and Detroit's Japanese rivals have once again largely been silent in this segment. Until now.
Introduced at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, Toyota now offers the TRD Pro series of models that, in addition to the crazy-orange Tundra seen here, includes the smaller Tacoma pickup and 4Runner SUV. And this isn't just some pretty appearance package, either - there's honest-to-goodness capability baked into all of the TRD Pro models. Intriguing, for sure, so I recently spent a weekend with the big boy Tundra to see what's what.

Toyota expands airbag recall to 2.27M vehicles worldwide

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Was your Toyota inspected under the company's recall campaign for faulty airbag inflators last year? You might have another trip ahead to have it repaired again. The automotive giant says that it found "the involved serial numbers provided by the supplier were incomplete, and did not include all of the potentially involved inflators," according to its official announcement. That means more replacements are needed.
Toyota's April 2013 inflator recall covered the Corolla, Matrix and Tundra from the 2003 and 2004 model years, the Sequoia from 2002 to 2004 and the Lexus SC 430 from 2002 to 2004. At the time, the company said it would need to inspect about 510,000 vehicles in the US but only expected to replace around 170,000 inflators.
However, the latest announcement increases that figure to about 766,300 vehicles in the US. Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the new amount is the combination of owners who need to have their vehicle looked at again and those who didn't come in for the initial recall. The company learned about the problem when Takata, the supplier, provided it with an improved list of the faulty part's serial numbers. According to The Detroit News, the latest recall affects about 2.27 million vehicles from them worldwide. Knight said owners would receive notification of the problem around the end of the month but repairs would come in phases because the automaker doesn't have all of the necessary parts at the moment.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
