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.

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.

Toyota recalls 370k Sienna minivans, 10.5k Lexus GS models over separate issues

Thu, 22 May 2014

The year of the recall continues, but this time it isn't from General Motors. Toyota is announcing two, separate recalls affecting a pair of its models.
First, Toyota is recalling 370,000 Sienna minivans from the 2004 to 2011 model years that are registered or originally sold in cold-weather states. The problem is that the spare tire carrier assembly cable can be splashed by water contaminated with road salt and cause corrosion. There is a splashguard in place to prevent this, but it sometimes gets lost in "normal usage," according to the company. If the cable does break, then "the spare tire may separate from the vehicle."
This is actually the second repair for this problem for some of these vehicles. In 2010, Toyota issued a recall on 600,000 Siennas from the 1998 to 2010 model years. At the time, it installed a new splashguard and sprayed the area with an anti-rust chemical. However, according to Toyota spokesperson John Hanson speaking to Autoblog, the campaign worked for the 1998 to 2003 models but wasn't sufficient for the newer ones. For the latest recall, the vehicles are getting the entire cable replaced with a stainless steel unit and a new splashguard.
