Up for auction is this 1980 FJ40 in excellent, all original, untampered-with condition. It is getting rare to find all original FJ40s for sale that haven't been modified or restored (poorly in many cases) This 40 is a true survivor and you wont find another one like it easily. It is in amazing condition.

This 40 is almost rust free. FJ40s were always prone to rust, but the later the model year, the rustier they usually are. In 1979, Toyota changed the body of the FJ40 to relocate the gas tank to under the vehicle instead of under the passenger seat. These later 40s are some of the most desirable, yet are very very hard to find in restorable condition because of body and frame rust. It is very common on an FJ40 of this era to have to replace the inner fender wells, quarter panels, rockers, floor boards, ambulance door bottoms, driver and passenger door bottoms, windshield frame, front bib, fenders, and more with new panels. This FJ40 needs NONE OF THOSE PANELS replaced. I have included pictures of all of the commonly rusted areas to show how little rust there is. The worst rust is on the rear sill, and there is some surface rust here and there on the body. The paint is all original with no body work to hide flawed areas. The stripes are dealer added. Other than the rust I've mentioned, there is no significant body damage anywhere on the vehicle.

Mechanically this FJ40 is in excellent condition. It has had no mechanical alterations. With only 114,000 miles, to start it and drive it is what I'd like to think is as close to driving a new one as possible. It starts up and runs great. The entire drivetrain is tight and in excellent condition. This 40 also has rare factory power steering. The tires are almost new BFG muds.

There aren't many negatives with this FJ40, but the 2 worst are that someone added a sunroof at some point, and that the headliner is falling down. Another is that the factory front bumper has been removed. I can assist in locating an OEM one for the buyer if you like.

I've taken lots of pictures and they speak to the condition of the 40. There are no surprises and I'm confident that the buyer will be more than satisfied with it in person. The Land Cruiser is at my place in Colorado. I will be glad to help arrange shipping for the buyer if necessary.

Feel free to email with any questions. This Land Cruiser is an investment that, with the proper care, will continue to gain in value. I am not interested in any trades or lowering the price below the opening bid. Please don't ask.

Honda, Subaru airlifting parts to bypass port labor diputes

Fri, Feb 6 2015

It should be abundantly obvious that a vital element in building cars is actually having the components on hand to assemble them. A labor dispute on the West Coast between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and management is not making that quite so easy for some Japanese automakers. Work slowdowns at the ports have pushed Honda and Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries into flying some parts into the country. The two automakers began shipping by airplane late last month to avoid production delays, according to Bloomberg, but it has been an expensive solution. Subaru's chief financial officer said the decision cost around $60 million more per month than sending components by cargo ship. They aren't the only companies dealing with the problem, either. Toyota reportedly stopped overtime assembly at some of its factories here because of the delays in getting parts, according to Bloomberg. The dockworkers have been negotiating on a new contract since May 2014, and the current offer on the table to them has offered a 3 percent raise, according to Bloomberg. Although, the union is reportedly considering another slowdown at 29 ports along the West Coast in the coming days.

Toyota sees Camry share loss despite predicting increasing sales

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

Toyota may be set to lose share the midsize sedan market. While speaking with Automotive News, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz said that if his company kept pace with the current swell in the market for family four doors, Toyota would need to sell around 500,000 Camry models. "I'm not sure we can do much more than 400 [thousand] today," Lentz said.
But that doesn't mean Camry sales are shrinking - on the contrary, Lentz thinks Toyota will likely sell more Camry units in 2013 than it did in 2012, it's just that the company isn't keeping pace with segment's current explosion in popularity. Industry wide, midsized sedan sales have increased by 20 percent. "Are we going to lose [Camry] share? Probably so," Lentz said, "but we will continue to grow in raw volume."
Toyota sold 404,886 Camry units last year, and the company just revised its 2013 sales objective from 2.18 million units earlier this year to 2.2-million plus units, so while things are looking up for the brand and Camry sales may be on the rise, Toyota may not have the muscle to keep up its share in the sedan segment. Whether that's because of a production bottleneck or a predicted sales ceiling isn't clear. We've got a call in and will update this news item if/when we learn more.

Toyota Aygo stars in 'invisible driver' prank

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

We love a good automotive-themed prank. Rémi Gaillard remains a favorite, although maybe we should take a closer look at MagicOfRahat, another online prankster. Rahat, who has developed a bit of a reputation for blending in with car seats, giving the impression that there's no one behind the wheel, has taken his talents to Europe, in a new video for Toyota.
Dressed to look like the seat of the new Toyota Aygo, Rahat goes about town freaking out tollbooth operators, valets, fast food servers and even receiving a bit of unwanted attention from the police. The result is, as is usually the case with this prank, pretty darn amusing. We were kind of hoping he'd pop up and give his victims a fright, as he did in his Halloween video, but alas, that wasn't to be.
Take a look below for the full video.
