Rare Left Hand Drive 1984 FJ45 Troop Carrier

Please note that the VIN # in the description above is not for this car. EBAY's system was not recognizing the actual VIN. See picture of the vehicle's title with VIN #. 

This Left Hand Drive Troopy is registered in Virginia. I bought the truck almost ten years ago and have been working on it off and on since. The tub has had all bad metal cut out and replaced. The wheel wells, in order to make more space in the back for forward seating, were shortened on the inside of the vehicle and original Toyota wheel well panels were put back in. The inside of the tub is fully line-xed as well as the underside and firewall.

 

It is painted in an original Toyota color from the 1960s called Horizon Blue. The color code is T808. Of course, the new owner can change the color. Due to being in storage over the last year, the paint has several scratches. I have some of the paint left, but it can be ordered at any auto paint supply store.

 

I have gathered extensive parts for the rebuild of this vehicle. I have all window seals, all glass, and window hardware. The front and back doors have all new mechanicals and regulators. I have a 1984 Head Rest Roll bar.

 

Also, the vehicle has installed a brand new, never used, Toyota OEM speedometer and an original never used 1984 FJ40 Steering Wheel. Both items were secured in the Middle East from a dealership that was selling off its old Toyota parts. I also have a rare front 2/3 OEM Split Bench which will need to be upholstered.

 

New Fenders as well. The Fiberglass Top is in good shape, but it not perfect. New owner may want to replace outside metal ring if you want perfect, but otherwise it is usable right away.

 

Frame has been worked on and gusset and a couple of mounts replaced. It is in great shape.

 

Please note, I have no mechanicals, that part you will have to source yourself.

The vehicle is not perfect, and I would not say it is “showroom.” But it is solid and is ready for someone else to take over, I have too may other projects and not enough time to finish this out.

  

There are other parts as well, and please call if you have any questions. 757-375-5890. Thanks.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

2019 Tokyo Auto Salon features one of the coolest auctions we've seen

Thu, Jan 3 2019

In just over a week, the Tokyo Auto Salon will host one of the coolest auctions we've seen in years. Jalopnik spotted BH Auction's listings, and it's a cornucopia of hot machinery you won't typically find at American auctions like Gooding & Company or Barrett Jackson. While Japanese cars make up most of the listings, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW and even Dodge all have at least one car going up for auction. We won't include everything here, but you can check out the full list on BH Auction's website. There are 50 lots at the auction, including nine Nissan Skylines, nine Ferraris and two Porsche Carrera GTs. Some of our other favorites include a Honda S800 coupe, a Toyota Miniace truck, a Mitsubishi Willys Jeep and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL gullwing with the V8 from a W124 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG that's estimated to sell for between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.

Toyota, Mazda drop Takata as Mitsubishi, Subaru weigh options

Sat, Nov 7 2015

It's not a very good time to be Takata right now. Fresh on the heels of longtime partner Honda ditching them, Toyota and Mazda have both come out and said they will not use the company's airbag inflators if they continue to rely on ammonium nitrate. Bloomberg reports that Subaru and Mitsubishi are also contemplating a divorce. "The inflator using ammonium nitrate produced by Takata will not be adopted by Toyota," President Akio Toyoda said during a briefing today. "What's most important above anything else is the safety and peace of mind of customers." Mazda echoed that position, simply saying it "will not use Takata airbag inflators which contain ammonium nitrate in our new cars." When you lose three huge OEM accounts in as many days, it's certainly going to have a deleterious effect on your fortunes. In Takata's case, that's meant a staggering 39-percent drop in their share price over the last three days. Yesterday alone, the company saw a 6.2-percent fall, Bloomberg reports. As the business publication reports, though, Takata isn't going down without a fight. The company is "considering some plans to survive," including a fundraising plan that will see it potentially offer up additional shares for sale. Still, at least one analyst doesn't see whatever company survives staying involved in the airbag inflator business. "I really don't see how they're going to be able to survive as an inflator manufacturer," Valient Market Research founder Scott Upham told Bloomberg. "When your major clients publicly come out and say that they're not going to use your products anymore, it makes this very difficult to sustain your business."
