Toyota Land Cruiser Landcruiser Fj40 Restored Gm Ramjet Arb Rockcrawler on 2040-cars
Powderhorn, Colorado, United States
I am helping an old customer / friend sell his Land Cruiser collection. This is his 1972 FJ40 Custom Restoration. The restoration was professionally done a number of years ago and the cruiser has only been driven a few miles a year for the last few years.
This cruiser is a good value for the person wanting a great, professionally built, custom FJ40 with almost every feature. Having a cruiser built like this at any shop now would cost 60K-80K plus. Read below about the features and the condition and then email with any questions. I have the cruiser at my house so I can take any additional pictures upon request. I know the risks of buying a vehicle on eBay so I want to be completely up front about the condition of the rig and provide answers to all of your questions so there will be no surprises. Please keep in mind that a winning bid on eBay is a contract to buy, not just the right to come look at the vehicle and decide if you want to buy it. I am requiring a $1000 non refundable deposit within 24hrs of the end of the auction, so please only bid if you've communicated with me, and you are a serious buyer. I will consider adding a buy it now price if you are a serious buyer. Features:
Condition: With this few of miles after the restoration, this Land Cruiser is still in very good shape. After driving it about 70 miles to my house from the warehouse where it was stored for the last 7 years, I did notice a few cosmetic blemishes. There is a small crack in the bodywork on the rear quarter panel, and the passenger door has rubbed on the windshield frame where the top pulled it back too far. There is a dent in the body by the passenger side front fender. The undercarriage is still in freshly restored condition and looks great. The frame was powder coated during the resto. The underside of the body is coated in the same liner as the inside and firewall. Mechanically the vehicle is still in excellent condition. There are only 655 miles on it since everything was replaced, renewed, or inspected. There was a few drops of ATF under the torque convertor which may indicate a leaky front tranny seal, possibly from sitting. The transmission fluid is still at the correct level and the vehicle ran, shifted, and drove very well during my 70 mile trip home. I was disappointed at the stiffness of the ride and blame the shocks. SOA suspensions like this are traditionally known for providing a soft ride. I recommend switching to bilstein 5125 series shocks, which will provide a much better ride, plus they look better. Please contact me with any questions and I will answer them as soon as possible. Thanks |

Toyota i-Road is no less strange in the flesh
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We've seen plenty of three-wheeled creations in our day, but none quite like the Toyota i-Road Concept. The "personal mobility vehicle" offers seating for two with driver and passenger positioned in a tandem position. While that may sound more like a motorcycle than a car, the closed cockpit means riders don't need a helmet. The design also takes a page from the 2008 Peugeot HyMotion3 Concept with an articulating front suspension that allows the driver to lean through corners thanks to "Active Lean" self-balancing technology. Unlike the funky Pug, however, the i-Road is a fully electric plug-in vehicle.
While there are just five-horsepower on hand from an electric motor, the i-Road should serve up a range of around 30 miles thanks to its lithium-ion battery, and Toyota claims the cells can be topped off in three hours with a "conventional domestic power supply." Sounds majestic. Take in the full press release below.
Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
The Toyota GT86 Shooting Brake Concept is real
Fri, May 6 2016As a two-door wagon the shooting brake exists at the unusual but captivating intersection between practicality and sportiness. This Toyota GT86 Shooting Brake Concept is no different – it's a standard GT86, with no mechanical alterations save the grafted-on wagonette roof and hatch. It's fully functional, too, having turned some laps on Toyota's test tracks. It even has the blessing of Tetsuya Tada, the father of the Toyota 86 and its Subaru BRZ and (now rebadged) Scion FR-S, who's been protective of the original GT86 concept to the point of strenuously resisting any serious power upgrades. This isn't the first shooting brake concept we've seen from the Toyobaru twins, but it's the first Toyota-badged one. Subaru brought the Cross Sport Design Concept to the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. So how did the GT86 Shooting Brake Concept happen? The story, as Toyota tells it, involves the company's Australian design team. They created a 1/4-scale clay model of the shooting brake, and showed it to Tada when he visited in late 2014. He was so impressed, Toyota says, that he had his hand-picked craftsman in Japan bring the idea to full-scale fruition. The Australian design team, in the outdoor-loving spirit of their country, immediately thought that the longer roof would be perfect for carrying surfboards and other unwieldy sports equipment. And it would be. Meanwhile, Tada and the rest of the Toyota corporation want to tamp down expectations. It's a design study, the company says, and it's just "testing the waters." Toyota won't rule anything out, and Mazda recently surprised everyone with the MX-5 RF's unusual and attractive targa model. Maybe in a world where Mazda felt confident enough to introduce the RF, Toyota can be daring enough to bring a sporty wagon to the masses. We can hope, and maybe if we all make enough noise together Toyota will make it a reality.
