1974 Toyota FJ40. This FJ40 runs very good. It has the original engine that runs smoothly, with no unusual exhaust smoke, or unusual sounds. The transmission shifts smoothly and all of the gears work as they should. The brakes work properly, and the tires are in very good condition. You can fly into Salt Lake City and drive this FJ40 anywhere. Please look closely at all of the photos. I want to be sure the new owner knows exactly what they are buying. The reserve is low and I have a clear Utah title. In addition, there are most of the parts for a PTO (Power Take Off). This FJ40 can be used as it stands, but it is not a show quality vehicle. It would not take a lot to restore it. If you want a show quality FJ40, this is a good place to start.

I want the FJ40 to be fully and completely described. With this in mind, I will go over all of the problem areas in detail. 1. There is old bondo in the rear fenders and in the rockers. Again, please look closely at the photos. I have taken photos of the floors from underneath and from inside. The back floor looks like new and all of the floors are dry and rust free. 2. The interior has splits in the seats, and one of the rear jump seats are missing. In addition, the dash pad is missing. 3. The top has an aftermarket sun roof. It works as it was designed, but is not original to the FJ40. 4. Some of the exterior badges are missing. These badges are available on Ebay and in aftermarket catalogs, but they are expensive. 5. In the lower part of the windshield, there is an aftermarket piece of chrome trim covering an old vent.

If you have any questions, please give me a call. My phone number is (801) 745-5835. I'm not a dealer, and I will gladly outline the condition of the FJ40. A $500. deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing, unless other arrangements are made before the close of the auction. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score, please email or call me before bidding. I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. Good luck bidding.

California readies big 'red carpet' for hydrogen cars, H2 stations

Mon, Aug 4 2014

The Golden State is sinking some serious green into its hydrogen-refueling infrastructure. But California says it's rolling out the red carpet for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Maybe we'll get our colors straight eventually. With a goal to have 1.5 million zero-emissions vehicles on California roads by 2025, the California Air Resources Board is outlining plans to sink $50 million into opening 28 publicly accessible hydrogen refueling stations by the end of 2015 and more than 50 ready for business by 2017. Today, California is home to all but one of the country's 11 public hydrogen stations (the other is in South Carolina). The most recent addition was at Cal State Los Angeles in May for the university's Hydrogen Research and Fueling Facility. Most of the first expansion of 28 stations will be represented by a partnership Toyota and FirstElement Fuel Inc. announced this spring. FirstElement is headed by ex-General Motors and Hyundai executive Joel Ewanick. The collaboration will help build out 19 hydrogen refueling stations, which are said to be located so that anyone in the state can reach them with their H2 car. HyGen Industries, Linde and the Institute of Gas Technology are among the other entities breaking out refueling stations. Check out CARB's press release below. California agencies roll out red carpet for hydrogen electric vehicles State partnerships accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles SACRAMENTO - California state agencies are collaborating on a range of initiatives to support the goal of 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2025. Last week, the California Energy Commission carried out one of these initiatives, voting to use nearly $50 million to put in place 28 new, public hydrogen refueling stations and one mobile refueler by the end of 2015. The move was one of several actions designed to help achieve a key goal of the state's zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) plan: to accelerate construction of hydrogen refueling infrastructure across the state. "California is rolling out the red carpet for Californians who choose these ultra-clean hydrogen powered electric cars and for the companies that make them," said Air Resources Board Chairman Mary D. Nichols.

Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
