1973 Toyota Land Cruiser Super Clean ! No Reserve... on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
|
This is an outstanding FJ40. I've entered it in a couple of local car shows and it has been first in it's class each time. One of the recurring comments is that it has 'gone through a time warp' The paint on the hood is faded from the sun and the tailgate doors show their age but are fully functional.Those are the only negatives. I've had this vehicle for 7 years and I continue to be impressed with how well preserved it is and how original it is. This is a tough, solid truck. I've done a few things to it: Headers installed 2 years ago. (They did help with fuel consumption). The carb was cleaned and new float installed. Last summer, the water pump and the radiator were replaced. All the heater and coolant hoses replaced at that time. New front door weatherstripping . The windshield and gasket were replaced last summer also. I put the chrome wheels on 5 summers ago. I saved the original wheels and they are included in the sale. The vehicle runs strong, shifts smooth. The clutch is strong. The hubs turn freely, the 4 wheel engages easily and works well. The brakes are good. Doesn't use any oil between changes. It is a dependable daily driver if desired. The doors, the fenders, all the metal(even the tailgate area- a usual problem spot) are very clean. Even the bottom lip of the doors are clean. The interior is exceptional also. The original carpet is in great shape. The original seats are in great shape as well. This FJ, with proper maintenance and care, could easily last another 30-40 years. The off road capability of FJ's is legendary. It also cruises on the freeway effortlessly and at more than adequate speed. There's a sony disc player in the glovebox and a 10 disc changer under the seat. The dash was never cut up for a din mount stereo. So even the dash is unmolested. This FJ was purchased new by the previous owner's father. He worked at a museum. He took excellent care of it as you might expect. The reason I'm selling this is because I'm old and I no longer hunt or go camping. That is the reason I bought it. It's time for someone else to take it over and appreciate what it is truly capable of. Terms of sale... I can not ship...... I will however be more than happy to assist your shipper, however I can.

How Charlotte lost to Plano without even knowing it was dealing with Toyota
Thu, 08 May 2014With Toyota set to relocate its North American headquarters to the Dallas, TX suburb of Plano following a top-secret, 100-city search, the cities that missed out can now begin asking themselves what happened during a process they apparently knew little about.
That's a particularly brutal task for Charlotte, which, according to North Carolina's Secretary of Commerce, Sharon Decker, finished second to Plano. While Toyota has been fairly open about what it was looking for in a new headquarters city - direct flights to Japan, proximity to its US production facilities, a lower cost of living, high-quality educational facilities and finding a neutral site suitable to the California, Kentucky and New York-based employees that would be relocated - it's been less open about how the finalist cities, which also included Atlanta and Denver, stacked up against each other.
The Charlotte Observer has a few ideas. Part of the problem is the distinct lack of direct flights between Charlotte and Asia. US Airways, which operates a hub at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, doesn't fly to Asia.
2015 Toyota Tundra Bass Pro Shops Off-Road Edition a Gulf-State exclusive
Sat, 27 Sep 2014Americans certainly have a fondness for pickup trucks with the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado frequently being among the top sellers each month, and that attachment is famously strong in the Lone Star State. We already saw Chevrolet unveil its Colorado Sport concept at the State Fair of Texas. Not to be outdone, Toyota debuted its new the 2015 Tundra Bass Pro Shops Off-Road Edition there, as well.
All of the Tundras use a 4x4 CrewMax SR5 configuration with the Tow Package, and they all come with Toyota's 5.7-liter V8 with 381 horsepower and a six-speed automatic gearbox. What actually sets these vehicles off as the Bass Pro Shops special edition is the 20-inch matte black wheels, tubular side steps, a spray-on bedliner, stainless steel exhaust tips and fender flares. To promote the connection with the store, there are Bass Pro Shops-branded floor mats and company decals on the bed. Of course, pickups are meant to get used, and to make sure of that, buyers also receive a package containing fishing, hunting, camping or marine gear worth about $1,000.
The special edition trucks will only be available in the Gulf States of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas beginning this October, and they'll carry a price of $43,975.
Toyota develops new pre-collision system with steering assist
Sun, 13 Oct 2013A number of automakers are working on developing fully autonomous cars, but it looks like the groundwork for such technologies will likely show up first as semi-autonomous systems for both safety and convenience. Following recent announcements from Nissan and Ford in this area, Toyota has now released information for some of its advanced semi-autonomous technologies that could be offered in production cars over the next few years.
On the safety front, Toyota's new pre-collision system with pedestrian-avoidance steering assist is aimed at protecting the folks who aren't in the car. This system combines visual and audible alerts with automatic brake assist and automatic steering. If warnings don't get the driver to slow down, the brake assist kicks in if a collision is very likely, but if that is still not able to avoid the impending collision (and if there is enough room to do so), the car can automatically steer itself around the pedestrian. This sounds most beneficial for last-second dangers such as a person accidently stepping out into the road in front of a car. Toyota hopes to have this technology available to customers by 2015.
The Japanese automaker is also testing a suite of technologies called Automated Highway Driving Assist (AHDA). The key part of this is a new adaptive cruise control system that uses vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications rather than a radar-based system. This cooperative-adaptive cruise control allows vehicles to communicate their acceleration and deceleration data with other cars, which Toyota says this helps to improve fuel efficiency and traffic flow. Also a part of AHDA is the Lane Trace Control feature, which sounds like a next-gen lane keep assist. This system uses cameras, radar and a computer to keep the vehicle in a "smooth driving line" by being able to change steering angle, engine torque and braking force. Toyota says this technology could be in place by the "mid-2010s."
