I am selling a original 1978 FJ40 that I just got and will be slowly restoring. The FJ has the original 2F engine with 70K miles on her and she runs great. Most fjs will leak a little oil, well not this one-no leaking oil!! I just drained all the fluides, installed new fuel filter, new air filter, new TOYOTA fuel pump. put in new full SYNTHETIC OIL with new oil filter, new battery and it has new tires. I just pulled the radiator and will be having it recorded or replaced, either way it will perform like new. I will slowly be restoring this fj to ORIGINAL stock condition, no crazy modifications or chevy engines!!! I am a 100% STOCK guy.
The engine is good, it is the body cosmetics that need attenion. I get most of my parts from Cool Cruisers and they have preformed thicker body parts for restorations. These are NOT cover up parts, they are for cutting the old rusty metal out and new metal going in. After all the parts have been replaced, she will be getting a fresh coat of her original Toyota Freeborn red color. I will continue to slowing work on her and the price will reflect the upgrades. I have another 78 and a 82 that I am doing right now, so this one will be a good 3 weeks or so before she gets her body work done. In the pics I have some of her parts on the fj taken off as I slowly strip her down for prep. When I am done with this fj, she will be a 20K+landcruiser. I am just in the begining but you can have her somewhere along this stage and capture some of the increased value of her. If you have any questions, please let me know

I dont need help selling this fj, scammers will be reported, NO TRADES and fj is being sold as is. You are welcome to preview the fj anytime. I reserve the right to end this aution at anytime as I am selling it locally as well. Winning buyer is required to deposit $2,000 within 24hours of end of auction and the remaining balance within 3 days of end of auction. I WILL NOT do paypal, so cash or wire is preferred. I will help with shipping, but the buyer pays the cost to ship. I have a lady I use for my shipping and she been great for me. I would be happy to give you her name and number

Toyota buys Daihatsu for small-car development

Sun, Jan 31 2016

Toyota is getting serious about small cars, but it's not going at it alone. Instead it's turning to its subsidiary Daihatsu, with which it will now share more resources and expertise. And in the process, it's acquiring the remaining stake in the smaller automaker. Daihatsu is a Japanese carmaker founded in its present form in 1951, but with roots that trace back as far as 1907. Toyota acquired a controlling interest of 51 percent in Daihatsu in 1988, bringing the company under its umbrella. But now it is raising its stake to 100 percent by a reciprocal share-swap agreement that will see Daihatsu's other shareholders take 0.27 shares in the larger company for each share in the smaller. As part of the new arrangement, the Daihatsu division will take the lead in developing new small cars, both for itself and for its parent company. Toyota in turn will also share key technologies with Daihatsu, and both will share each other's networks in emerging markets. The bottom line is that we can expect to see more small Toyotas and Scions developed and built by Daihatsu in the near future. The Daihatsu name may not be as familiar to Americans as some of Toyota's other brands. It briefly sold models like the Charade and Rocky in the United States under its own name in the late 1980s and early 90s. However US customers may be more familiar with those it built for the Scion brand, such as the Scion xB that was based on the Daihatsu Materia. While the realistic part of our brains force us to admit it's unlikely, the dreamer within us will hold out hope that the new arrangement could see a Scion version of the nimble little Daihatsu Kopen roadster make its way to our shores in the coming years. Toyota and Daihatsu to Strengthen Small Car Operations through Unified Global Strategy Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) and its subsidiary Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. (Daihatsu) have reached an agreement whereby Daihatsu will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota by way of a share exchange (expected to be completed in August 2016). The purpose of the agreement is to develop of ever-better cars by adopting a unified strategy for the small car segment, under which both companies will be free to focus on their core competencies. Ultimately, this will help Daihatsu and Toyota to attain their joint goal of achieving sustainable growth. Additionally, the aim of the share exchange is to enhance the value of both brands.

BMW-Toyota sports car heading towards Tokyo debut

Mon, 20 May 2013

Earlier this year, BMW and Toyota confirmed a four-part joint venture mostly focusing on increasing improving vehicle efficiency using fuel cells, lightweight materials and better battery technology. Also tucked into the announcement was a "feasibility study" for a shared platform to underpin a future midsize "sports vehicle."
In terms of the latter, it seems that things have stepped up from the feasibility stage to the conceptual stage, as Motor Trend reports we could see a pair of new sports car concepts debut later this year in at the Tokyo Motor Show. There isn't much information about the new program, but the article suggests the sports cars could be all-wheel drive hybrids, with electric motors powering the front wheels and a gas engine powering the rear wheels. While a partnership between Toyota and BMW might not lend itself to a catchy portmanteau like "Toyobaru," here's hoping it will bear fruit that is as exciting as the ones produced by the Toyota/Subaru tie up.

2014 Toyota Corolla debuts with more power, interior space

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Depending on who you ask, the best-selling car in the world is either the Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla. Not surprisingly, Toyota claims it's the Corolla. Either way, we're talking around a million individual units per year, and over 40 million over the car's lifetime on the market, so the redesign of Toyota's compact sedan is big-time news for the Japanese automaker that it needs to get right.
The Toyota Corolla was last redesigned way back in 2008, meaning the 2014 model is a long-overdue update to the C-segment sedan. Its age shows when compared to newer rivals like the Honda Civic, Chevy Cruze, Hyundai Elantra and the aforementioned Ford Focus when comparing technology features, fuel mileage and interior roominess. In an effort to solve those demerits, Toyota has added nearly four inches to the 2014 Corolla's wheelbase and will offer a new continuously variable transmission with seven simulated gear ratios.
Engine choices consist of two available 1.8-liter four-cylinder units, one with 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and another more efficient version that uses Toyota's new Valvematic technology to offer 140 horses and 126 lb-ft of torque. Eco and Sport modes will be selectable by the driver.
