You are bidding on a fully restored 1964 FJ40L.   Everything meticulously restored back to original including rare and often forgotten parts.   I restore cars.   I lovingly restored this land cruiser and utilized all of the correct parts during this restoration.  

  • Jack?   Got it.  With hardware under back seat as well.
  • The correct seat covers?   You bet.   They look fantastic. 
  • Does your FJ have the covers for the rear tailgate chains?   Mine does, and in the correct and matching material.  
  • Door Safety straps, check.  
  • Hubcaps and the correct wheels/tires?   Check.  
  • Glass bowl early Toyota carb?   You bet!
  • Oil bath air cleaner as well as oil filter canister, often very difficult to find - CHECK. 
  • Correct plated hardware used, full set of correct zinc plated nuts and bolts.
  • Dealer installed heater option, fully restored in correct color with correct label.   
  • The correctly sourced rubber for the steps, which look amazing - check.
  • Glass bowl fuel filter.
  • Have the correct 3 on the tree drive train.   Transfer case rebuild.   Everything works as it should.  
  • I had a complete custom AND PERIOD CORRECT wiring harness made for this car.   All new wiring that is factory correct with original fuse block.    Amazing work by an artisan.   Only non stock item in wiring is added trailer light provision built in.   Again, every had a 50 year old vehicle with new and perfect original wiring?   This one has it.
  • Original Generator and old school starter, works GREAT.
  • Frame media blasted and powdercoated.
  • All new suspension and steering items such as ball joints, shocks and new poly bushings for cab to frame mounting


Please view the photos, you can also view the restoration progress where I was working with the FJ community to get it right.

Full disclosure.   I am honest.    What I describe below is what I consider either a deviation from complete bone stock (intentionally) or a known minor issue.   This is it! 

  • I decided to put disc brakes up front.   Wilwood set up with a custom Geo Metro booster and Wilwood proportioning valve installed.   Seemed safe and prudent.
  • When reinstalling the windshield after paint, with new rubber, the installer cracked the windshield.   It is vertical and you have to work hard to see it, not worth fixing.   You cannot see it in photos and I have never had a passenger notice!
  • I never could find the knob for the windshield vent.
  • I bolted an aftermarket 2" hitch receiver to rear bumper, all factory holes.   Also wired for trailer.
  • I replaced the points with a Pertronix electronic ignition, more reliable and hidden.   Still OEM distributor with vacuum advance and octane adjustment!
  • I have the correct windows for the soft top doors, but they are fiddly to stay up.   I think this is as they were originally.
  • I do not have the hand throttle cable connected.   (the one on dash)
  • I added a Toyota radiator overflow bottle.   Looks the part but also makes rig more reliable.
  • Sometimes (rarely) the starter bendix doesn't engage, retry will work.   This is the original starter and there is no way I am putting a new one in there.  
  • I added a period valve to shut off coolant to the interior heater.  Looks great and on warm days keep the heater core from warming up.

The pictures here show some of the progress DURING the restoration as well as the final product.

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.

2014 Toyota Tundra appears with revised styling, same mechanicals

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Toyota has pulled the curtain back on its 2014 Tundra, showing a truck that has gotten its most significant refresh since its launch as a 2007 model. For better or worse, however, the changes that Toyota has made to the fullsize pickup are mostly cosmetic, with the underpinnings of the vehicle staying unchanged.
The most obvious revision for 2014 is to the bluff front fascia of the truck. There's a new, taller squared-off grille decorating the Tundra's nose, along with a revised, three-part front bumper design. The optional black grille-frame strikes us as an acquired taste, to say the least, but other models, like the Limited above, is all clad in chrome. Fenders and wheel wells are more square than in the out-going truck, too. Perhaps most significant is the revised bed design, which Toyota calls "all-new," with new sheet metal on the sides, a revised tailgate and a very subtle integrated spoiler.
Inside, Toyota has given buyers some new seats and a new-look instrument panel. A backup camera (always handy on big trucks) is now standard equipment on all grades, as is Bluetooth connectivity. Blind spot monitoring is a new, optional feature as well. In all, as with the exterior mods, the changes in-cabin are far more evolutionary than revolutionary.

2014 Toyota Highlander to start at $30,075*

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We now have pricing for Toyota's redesigned 2014 Highlander, which is seeing moderate price hikes across the board. Prices for the popular crossover have been bumped from less than 1 percent to less than 3 percent on lower-end models (anywhere from $125 to $890, depending on trim). Toyota has increased prices on higher-end XLE and Limited models more substantially - between 4.1 and 4.5 percent ($1,480 to $1,700). The Highlander Hybrid sees its price increase 2 percent ($930). The new model will be available in four different trims and with either front or all-wheel drive.
The absolute cheapest member of the Highlander range, the base LE, with a four-cylinder and front-wheel drive starts at $30,075, an increase of just $195. The LE is also available with a V6 and all-wheel drive, with the bigger engine upping the price to $31,380. All-wheel drive models start at $32,840. A slightly pricier LE Plus starts at $33,600 for a V6 FWD model and $35,060 if you add all-wheel drive.
Next up, we have the XLE, which starts at $36,900 for FWD models and moves up to $38,360 for AWD. The top-tier Limited model starts at $40,500 in FWD spec, grips-at-all-fours versions will retail for $41,960. For those that want the very top of the Highlander range, there's the Platinum Pack, which adds the Driver's Tech Pack (adaptive cruise control, pre-collision warning, lane departure warning and automatic high beams), a panoramic moonroof, heated steering wheel and heated second-row seats to the already well-equipped Limited model. Highlander Platinums start at $42,990 and $44,450, depending on how many tires are doing the work. (Note: All prices include an $860 destination and handling charge.)
