Hi. Thank you for looking at my auction.  I'm selling this beautifully restored 1978 fj40 for a lady friend of mine.
It has been a southern vehicle all its life.  It has a stock rebuilt 2F motor, roughly 4,000 miles ago.  This is a frame
off stainless nut and bolt restoration.  It also has been rhino lined inside and underneath. It is always garaged, never off road, and never in the rain.  This fj was taken to local car show events and driven locally in town.  This restoration took place about five years ago.  Here is a list of the upgrades.

  • 4 Wheel disc brakes and calipers with an added proportioning valve.
  • Stainless steel brake lines on rear.
  • GM power brake booster.
  • Power steering
  • Brand new suspension with shocks and greaseable shackles that were purchased at TPI (4 inch).
  • 1982 fj40 rims with bfgoodrich all terrain KO's. 33x10.50, with less than 4,000miles.
  • Professionally installed Sony digital media player with Blue Tooth that is hooked up with JBL speakers front and rear that is ready for your iphone or droid. (high quality sound).
  • Best Top bikini top.
  • Porcelain header.
  • New complete exhaust.
  • Electronic ignition.
  • Rear lamp guards.
  • New OEM sun visors.
  • New stainless steel mirrors.
  • All new OEM emblems.
  • Rear seat is covered in black leather.
  • Superwinch lockout hubs.
  • Optima red top battery.
This fj40 was done in base coat, clear coat Sherwin Williams paint. It shifts like new, drives straight and turns easily with a finger.  This vehicle does not have a hardtop or doors. I found several that I could have bought but never took the time to go and look at what was available. I did notice when this vehicle sits for a period of time, it has a slight wheel seal leak and light radiator leak which can easily be fixed. To fully appreciate the quality of the build, one should see this fj40 in person.  It looks mint and is always highly complimented. I would prefer the new owner to view this vehicle in person before payment if possible.  I require a $500. non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of closed auction.  The remainder is bank to bank wire transfer(must clear first) within 7 days of the closed auction.  After the deposit is made, you can surely look and inspect the vehicle in person before you pay the remainder.  I welcome any third party inspection during the auction, done in my shop under my supervision over a pit in my well lit garage.  Serious inquiries only. The fj40 is sold as is. No warranty. I will not ship the Toyota but will assist in arranging same.  If you have less than 10 feedbacks please contact me before bidding. Thank you for looking at my fj40 and good luck bidding.

Aging Prius, dropping gas prices putting hurt on hybrid, EV sales

Fri, 24 Oct 2014



"As Prius represents by far the biggest chunk of the hybrid marketplace, where Prius goes, the segment goes," - Ed Kim, Autopacific
Fuel prices in the US have been tumbling for the last several weeks, with the average price of a gallon of gas at $3.120 as of October 20, according to the US Energy Information Administration. That price reflects a serious recent drop from $3.299 on October 6. Reports have even suggested that those low numbers might not change for a little while, perhaps as long as years. While drivers certainly love paying less at the pump, the change may be hurting the market for more fuel-efficient models, including the Toyota Prius.

Honda may recall up to 1M vehicles for airbag issue, following Toyota's lead

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

It seems Toyota won't be the only one recalling the faulty Takata airbag inflators for long. Honda insiders in Japan claim that the company is getting close to announcing its own worldwide campaign that would begin before the end of June.
Unnamed sources close to Honda in Japan tell Automotive News that the company is pursuing an internal investigation into possibly affected models and is working with Takata to gather more information. They claim that it could involve even more than the 1.14 million cars worldwide that the automaker covered under the first recall for the problem in April 2013, including 561,000 vehicles in the US.
Toyota jumpstarted this process last week when it recalled over 2 million cars worldwide, including 844,277 in the US. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a preliminary evaluation into the issue following six reported incidents, and started assembling data about potentially affected models from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler. NHTSA also began investigating Takata itself.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
