No reserve auction. Please note: this is a parts vehicle, there is no title, it is not running and it is incomplete.


I got the Cruiser as a 2 for 1 deal, I bought a 77 Cruiser and was given this one to pull parts from. I have what I need, so I'm letting this one go to the highest bidder. No reserve.

What I know:
I have some spare doors that I'll include in the sale. That's one driver's side, one passenger. I also have a tail gate and very crude upper window (home made) that I can include in the sale at no charge.
The hood is too far gone, there is more rust than metal. You'll need gloves to touch it, unless you're up to date on your tetanus shots.
There is an engine, a transmission and a transfer case. Both axles are present, as are the brakes.
There's very little left of the dash.
The engine bay has plenty missing from it.
The valve cover is just sitting there, not bolted down at all.
There are no windows.
The top has a significant dent in it since the previous owner stored spare parts on top of it.
There is a VIN plate.
There is NO TITLE. I have no idea whether you can get one. You're welcome to call the Kentucky DMV and find out with the VIN.
Hinges are in great shape for the front door.
Tires are dry rotted but have been holding air for over 5 weeks.

What I do not know:
I cannot test or verify the condition of the engine. It may run, or it may be a very nice paperweight.
I cannot test the transfer case or transmission. Same thing: they might work, they might not.
There is a LOT of rust on this cruiser and I make no predictions or guarantees that you can or cannot restore it. 

Plenty of bits left, I can take as many pictures as you need me to. I will help load if needed but I cannot deliver. 

Please understand that this is not a quick weekend fix, this is a complete restoration on a very cool truck or it's a part out to use what you need and recycle the rest.

FJ40 must be picked up within 10 days of auction ending. I'm paying for the storage unit on a monthly basis and I want this gone sooner rather than later.

Bid with confidence, I take Ebay seriously and make every effort to keep things light and efficient.

Toyota's future fuel cell vehicle lineup revealed?

Wed, Aug 26 2015

Being an Olympic sponsor from 2017 through 2024 puts Toyota in the international limelight, and the company is preparing a fleet of efficient, cutting-edge vehicles just in time for the Tokyo games in 2020. At least eight new models could be on the way, according to Automotive News citing Best Car from Japan. Three of those might make use of the hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain developed for the Mirai. While many of these fuel cells are going into Japan-only vehicles, one of them could come here. Reiterating earlier rumors, Automotive News reports a hydrogen-powered Lexus LS is set for 2018. It could be even lighter than the current hybrid model, too. A similar version of the Toyota Crown would launch there in 2019 and possibly an FCEV Estima minivan, too. Beyond fuel cells, Toyota also intends to put the JPN Taxi Concept from the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show into production in time for the games, according to Automotive News. For 2017, the brand's flagship Century is also expected to adopt a hybrid V8 to replace the current V12, as well. Plus, many of its Japanese-market vans are also due for updates. All of this is certainly a massive undertaking to be ready in time, but Tokyo want to use the games as a chance to show the city as an innovative, international destination. Automotive News predicts Toyota could supply thousands of vehicles to haul all of the athletes and dignitaries around. In addition, the Japanese government wants 6,000 fuel cell vehicles on the road and 35 refueling stations up an running for the games. Related Video:

Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners

Thu, 16 May 2013

A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News.
Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs - in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million.
A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.
