1980 – Pac Man is introduced. CNN becomes the first 24hrs News Station. Post-It Notes are invented. Meanwhile, Toyota Motors introduced its best Land Cruiser yet. For a half-century, over a million Land Cruisers have traversed paths from the South Pole to the Sahara. What are you waiting for?

The best word to describe this 1980 Mustard Yellow FJ40 is definitely "ORIGINAL". I can't tell you about the restoration because there hasn't been any restoration. You're bidding on a Beautiful, One Owner, Numbers Matching, Original, Documented 1980 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser with 35K original miles. It has Power Steering AND Air Conditioning which makes this a pretty darn rare and sought after Land Cruiser.

Original paint, frame, body 2F Motor, 4-Speed Transmission, factory-original AM radio, interior, gauges, seats, doors, door panels, glass, fenders, floors, tub, hood, top, bumpers, etc. This rust-free FJ40, looks, runs and drives excellent, never repainted, never restored, always cared for, garaged and maintained. EVERYTHING is in good working order. The original wheels were swapped for white spokes but we have the original wheels and two of the original tires.

Motor

Pop this venerable FJ's hood and you'll find an original 135 horsepower 2F six cylinder which looks and runs great! Based on General Motor's stalwart Stovebolt Six, Toyota's famous overhead valve mill has certainly proven its ability to get this compact 4x4 out of many tight situations and tow just about any moderately sized toy its owners can imagine. The owner swapped the carburetor for a Holley carb but we have the original carb. She comes with headers but we have the original exhaust manifold too.

Body / Drivetrain / Suspension

With only 35,000 miles on vehicle, it's not surprising that the body is in excellent condition and the original Mustard Yellow paint still shines. The truck received professional rust proofing when new and that explains the fantastic condition. The fender flares are attached from under the wheel wells and can be easily removed. The suspension is stock and original. as is the drive-train. This FJ40 has factory Power Steering which makes it effortless to drive and the tall 3:70 gear ratio provides more top end speed.

This old school SUV offers four wheel drive and enough ground clearance to get over obstacles. The truck's original 4-speed manual transmission serves up an awesome combination of off-roading prowess. Front disc and rear drum brake combination will bring all you to a quick and uneventful stop.

This Toyota's suspension consists of rugged solid axles and leaf springs, shackels and coil over shock absorbers at both ends. At the back of the truck's frame you will find bumperettes flanking a hitch for light towing. Under it all you will find 15 inch white spokes with new 31x10.5 R15LT and Warn hubs.

Summary

Other than described, this is an unmolested, factory-original FJ40, with very few flaws, in remarkable condition for its age. The bottom of this clean Toyota is exactly what you should expect from a lightly used original, you will find a dusting of dirt on the frame. While this Land Cruiser is exceptionally nice, it's not something you should be afraid to get dirty.

Inside this iconic Land Cruiser you'll find a spacious and comfortable driving environment that has enough room to be your vehicle of choice for weekend adventures. The firm front, and folding opposing rear seat are wrapped in high quality OEM vinyl covers. Heavy duty OEM rubber floor mats in front and back. In front of the driver, a perfect dash pad, clear gauges and controls for the truck's accessories. Between the front passengers, two simple black shifters, one for the 4-speed transmission and one for the four-wheel drive system. The space between the front seats you will find the OEM center console. Connecting the driver to the road is a factory issue steering wheel which spins around the vintage "Toyota" emblem. The sale of this FJ40 includes the factory tool kit, jack, jack rods, touch up paint cans and owners manual. There are no dents, dings or damage to the body and no rust. The interior is flawless as well. The color is the original Toyota Mustard Yellow (paint code 532).

The 2F engine is strong and smooth and runs excellent. The body and frame are free of rust. The floors are all solid, rust free and clean! All turn signals, lights, wipers, washers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers and all gauges work perfectly. Original seat upholstery, headliner and both interior door panels are in beautiful condition.

The quality of this FJ40 is extreme. You will be unable to drive it without numerous waves, smiles and thumbs up! 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.

This is one very cool SUV that's still every bit as functional today as it was in when it drove off the showroom floor. It's very tight, rattle free and is quite and capable. It's the kind of cool piece that would be right at home parked at your favorite Friday night dive next to other vintage cars, or perched on a mountain conquering your latest Saturday afternoon adventure. If you're looking for a cool classic that's fun, unique and ready to hit the road, this is it! A super nice, original Land Cruiser that you will instantly fall in love with once you're behind the wheel. I encourage you to call (515) 864-1275 with any questions and thanks for looking! I reserve the right to end this auction early, which is usually what happens.

Scion trying to build business case for FR-S convertible as Subaru bows out

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Hope may remain for a convertible version of the Scion FR-S, according to a report from Ward's Auto. You'll recall that rumors were swirling about the feasibility of a rear-drive Toyobaru convertible as early as October, and that back in November, Subaru - which makes the FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 - essentially nixed the idea of an open-topped variant.
"We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen," brand chief Yasuyuki Yoshinaga told Automotive News, according to Ward's, at the Tokyo Motor Show. "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change."
Despite Yoshinaga-san's arguments against a droptop variant, Toyota is apparently still considering the model. Speaking to media at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, Scion's US vice president, Doug Murtha, hinted that the rear-drive droptop was in the works.

Toyota and Lexus show off advanced safety research vehicle [w/video]

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

While Google and Audi explore the possibilities of autonomous vehicles, Toyota and its Lexus division are studying the intermediate step of vehicles equipped with a deep suite of technology that help drivers make the best decisions. Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the Lexus advanced safety research vehicle is an LS sedan fitted with three high-def color cameras to detect objects up to almost 500 feet away, 360-degree Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) lasers that can detect objects up to 220 feet away, three radar units to keep track of other vehicles at intersections, a precision odometer on the rear wheel, GPS that estimates orientation and an accelerometer.
Currently testing at a purpose-built 8.6 acre urban testing ground at the Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Susono, Japan the Toyota research vehicle is being used to study how to make better drivers, as well as figuring out how to reduce crashes as the industry's journey through passive and active safety systems progresses. In the event of a crash, new rescue systems are also being tested.
Further investment is being put into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) that would use shortwave signals to harness information from the car and from other vehicles on the road, as well as roadside infrastructure and even pedestrians. Toyota reasons it could then build a picture of interactions and, for instance, alert the driver to a potential collision at a blind intersection.

Santa swaps his sleigh for a Ferrari-powered Toyota

Fri, Dec 23 2016

A Ferrari-powered Toyota 86 is sure to garner a bit of attention, as well it should. We've been paying attention throughout this build, so it should be no surprise then that Santa did as well. He's ditched his red sleigh for the Gumout GT4586 in this video. If you've been following along, you know that Ryan Tuerck and Gumout built this completely bonkers machine that's far more exciting than some previous Japanese/Italian mash-up automobiles. Donut Media has been doing their part to document and promote every stage of the process. This new video is filled with the gratuitous amounts of lights, noise, and tire smoke that Donut is known for. We don't know the conversion from horsepower to reindeerpower, but the GT4586 should provide plenty of oomph for Santa's Christmas trek.
