Rust Free, Immaculate & Original Fj60 Series 62 - Last Model Year on 2040-cars
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
|
Rugged, simple, reliable and fun. Add to that room to spare and you may have
the ultimate sport utility vehicle. As a
flagship model, the Land Cruiser always served to demonstrate Toyota’s
engineering and design talents. I think
they really nailed it with the FJ60-62 series.
Outdoor enthusiasts certainly admire this vehicle. It’s a timeless design, kind of like a Swiss
Army knife.
This vehicle has led a privileged life. Always garaged, always maintained at the Toyota dealership. As anyone who is a fan of the FJ series knows, they are prone to rust. That makes the originality and meticulous care of this one all the more cherished. Maintenance overall has been top shelf. The previous owner took care of some problem areas around the wheel wells and they have held up nicely. The color of this FJ62 is called Beige Metallic. This certainly was consistent with the Safari intentions of the original series. Appropriately, it is almost exactly the same color as dirt that dries after spending some time on a county access road. Pretty clever and suits the vehicle well! The inside is the tan and brown color combination. Overall, it is in excellent driver condition. The carpet, dash, rear panels all demonstrate the care this prized possession has received. Along with a warm cozy place to rest at night, the legendary inline 6 2F motor has sipped only the finest vintages. Lucas additives were used occasionally and the previous owner is not at all a fan of ethanol. Fortunately, we have some pure gas options in the area and he always sought them out. It’s been given the care necessary to demonstrate its tractor-like tenacity and durability. I have no doubt it will serve up many more miles of fun and adventure. All the photos
in this listing and quite a few more can be found at the following link – https://www.flickr.com/photos/105315473@N02/ This is the last model year for the highly regarded FJ60 series. Last model years like the Grand Wagoneer and the Mercedes SL series typically command the highest collector values. I guess only time will tell with this one, but it certainly stands as testament to Toyota’s much deserved legacy. The FJ62 is geared to be more accommodating at highway speeds and has a few other refinements that forecast the direction this flagship model would eventually go in the efforts to stay ahead of the pack. Fortunately, it did if from the same handsome sheet metal lines and with the same purposeful ruggedness. What other vehicle was designed to hit a rock at 60 mph without incident? Exactly, not many and probably none does it better. There are a few issues the new owner may want to take care of. The driver’s seat has a tear on the side in the vinyl section. The cloth insert in the same area is starting to separate. Both are because the foam is a showing its age. Aftermarket seat covers are readily available. The vinyl section could be easily replaced by an upholstery shop. So, you may just want to preserve the originals. The mud guard on the passenger front tire is gone. So too is the rocker panel trim piece. They were lost when backing out of a snow bank – a badge of honor earned the right way! These parts can be easily sourced at dealerships or online. The new owner will also want to put on a new set of tires, at least before next winter. These issues have been factored into the reserve price. Out of respect to all bidders and the auction process, I will not reveal the reserve price. It is set at a very reasonable price, well below the level at which she is likely to earn bids. Please bid the amount you are comfortable spending on the vehicle. I’ve tried to describe and capture through photos the vehicle in great detail. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call. My cell is (816) 786-7534. Load up your friends, family, some camping gear fishing poles or bikes and take this thing for another adventure. It is eager to accommodate! Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. |

Toyota Matrix discontinued for 2014
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Between its slow sales and the upcoming redesign of the closely related Corolla sedan, things haven't been looking good for the Toyota Matrix (for some time now). After 10 years on the market, Toyota has officially announced that it will drop the Matrix from its US lineup following the 2013 model year.
The announcement was made as a part of a press release breaking down what's new for Toyota in 2014, but for now, it doesn't look like any Toyota-branded product will fill the Matrix's spot. The Matrix and its sister car, the defunct Pontiac Vibe, were the final vehicles developed under the joint venture between Toyota and General Motors, an arrangement launched back to 1984.
Toyota RAV4 "Adventure" brings the butch
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Just last week, your humble author had a 2013 Toyota RAV4 in his garage, and he couldn't help noting that even in mid-level XLE trim, its aesthetics lacked oomph, due in large part to its cheap-looking black bumpers and airy-looking wheel wells. Judging by the RAV4 "Adventure" on display at the Geneva Motor Show, someone at Toyota must've been thinking the same thing.
With Japan's biggest automaker understandably focused on bigger reveals, information on this butched-up softroader has proven to be hard to come by, with no press materials whatsoever. We don't even know if this is a pure concept or if it's actually being considered for production. Either way, we approve. The 20-inch dark-finish alloys probably don't do much for ride quality, but they certainly look nicely aggressive, as does the new lower fascia with its prominent lower lip. Other changes include beefier wheel arches, side rails, headlamps with integrated LEDs, twin-element fog lamps and mesh grille inserts. All of the changes are quite well integrated - enough so that the Adventure largely avoids looking like a SEMA refugee in person.
Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show
Tue, Jan 13 2015At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.
