The Best Fj40's Anywhere:1983 Bj42 Diesel, 1983 Fj40 Ac/ps; 64' Fj45, 76' Fj40v8 on 2040-cars
ICONTOYS will become ICON40 in coming months. Most of you know, all I recycle are the 40's. I hope all my followers will take note, and follow my Land Cruiser restorations, collection, photographs and sales to ICON40 in the future. I will maintain and sell from ICONTOYS, but will phase out this ID in the future. I would also like to mention that ICONTOYS/ICON40 could potentially be FOR SALE and SOLD to the right individual. For details, please contact me after the auction has concluded. This would include the shop, quality paint and body professionals and name, including quality inventory. Please check out my Photographs of all of the great 40's I have restored and owned. A couple of different photo choices are available for $49 online here at eBay.com. The photos are super large 20X30 professional stock and on quality paper. Shipped to your door. My intention this week is to list the group for sale as a "unit" with a buy now price for all vehicles. Each are legally owned by me, they are registered and titled in my name with no liens or issues. All paperwork is complete. Yes, I would, and will most likely sell these Land Cruisers individually. I can help arrange transport, load, and take a photo for you of the Toyota on the transport truck. During this auction, I will answer telephone calls only, and only after the auction has ended. Here is a list of what you see in photographs. The last several photos are of "photographs" of 40's I have owned. They are for sale as well for $49ea.

Thanks, and happy bidding, Pete A couple of Past buyer emails: Dear Peter, The Fj40 arrived last Wednesday night and was more than promised! I am delighted, it' a step back in a time capsule to the year before I got married. I really have to admit, I had some trepidation to invest what I did and then wire a large amount of money to a bank account in Montana, sight unseen, but all my fears were unnecessary, because all was carried out as promised by you. You were honest and professional, and I feel like I now have a "friend" in Montana! I also appreciated the way you followed up after the sale with me to make sure you answered any questions and that I was satisfied. I am glad to give you a strong and well deserved recommendation. All the best, Jose P. I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put into getting me my FJ40 on time. I can honestly say that, at the beginning of the process, I was a little nervous making such a large purchase over the Internet and through phone calls. In the end, it turned out great and I love my new truck. I really appreciate all of the communication through the build; the email, the phone calls and the pictures. It not only made things easy to schedule, it gave me a real sense for the quality you build into your restorations. I am also impressed with all of the documentation you provided in that it made crossing the border and registering the vehicle hassle free; well, as hassle free as that process can get. Please feel free to use me as a reference for future clients. The last 7 photographs are "photographs for sale" not the rigs....they now belong to new owners. |

2014 Toyota Aygo marks the spot [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Following the leaked pictures we showed you yesterday, we have the full battery of images and info of the all-new Toyota Aygo, in addition to our gallery of live photos from the floor of the Geneva Motor Show.
Like its cousins from Peugeot and Citroën, the Aygo foregoes a diesel engine in favor of a highly efficient gas powerplant. The 1.0-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder turns out 68 horsepower and 70 pound-feet of torque. When it hits the market, it'll be with either a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed, X-Shift automated manual. The former will help the Aygo return 57.3 miles per gallon and hit 62 miles per hour in 14.2 seconds. Opting for the X-Shift variant will net drivers 56 mpg, with 62 arriving in a leisurely 15.5 seconds.
We'll admit, aside from the fuel efficiency, there's nothing terribly great about those numbers. Still, with its compact dimensions - it's only 136 inches long - and a curb weight of no more than 2,000 pounds, it should prove tossable in the bends.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 15 Jul 2014Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.
