Toyota Land Cruiser restoration shop offers this 1974 FJ40.  I received this truck as a trade in on a mint original 40. The previous owner did a lot of good work to it, I’m offering it as a running/driving mild project vehicle. I had my tech go over it, I’ll describe the condition below. I added some parts to make this vehicle more complete, I briefly drove this truck, but did not rebuild the entire thing. I wanted to keep this truck budget minded for an enthusiast that wants to do mild tinkering.  This is a NO RESERVE auction, bid to buy!

MECHANICAL

The motor is a healthy small block Chevy with HEI ignition, 4 barrel carb, FJ40 over the fender headers, power steering pump.  The power steering needs to be completed, there are some parts included, but will need additional items to be completed. Motor is strong, Flowmaster or type muffler, it’s loud. New clutch, complete front end rebuild, brake rebuild with motor all done 4 years ago. 3 speed transmission shift well, 4wd works. 95% tread BFG 33/12.5/15 all terrains on steel wheels.

BODY

This is a solid body FJ40.  No serious rot. I think there may be a little above the tail lights as always. The floors and doors are excellent.  Mediocre paint job several years ago. Fiberglass hood. Frame and suspension look good. No evidence of any wreck, overall a great foundation.

MY OPINION

This is a great start, expensive items in place. Good enough to run/drive on/off trailer or down the street, not good enough for interstate travel. Needs tinkering. The body is in excellent shape speaking FJ40. I’m letting this one go no reserve, this is a worthy project, these trucks are worth big dollars restored.

I will have 4-6 FJ40’s for sale on eBay right now or coming up soon, keep watching!

I require a $500 non-refundable deposit immediately after auction conclusion. The rest wire transfer or cashier’s check within 5 days closed auction.  I hold a clear clean WA state title in hand for this truck. I welcome 3rd party inspections during the auction, winning is not 1st chance to look. I own Auto Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections so skip me in the phone book. I have a shipping broker whom I trust, will pass his info to you, he only does lower 48, I can get this to Alaska Hawaii or other countries as well.  Payment will be made to my business.

I reserve the right to end this auction at any time for any reason, I will consider serious offers.

Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."

Japanese automakers ramping production for renewed American sales

Wed, 21 Nov 2012

The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan took quite the toll on the automotive industry in that nation. Not content to lean on that tragedy as excuse for slagging sales, the Japanese automakers are planning on a major production expansion in North America. The aim is to reclaim the market share lost from the Tsunami-based dip, and overcome a dollar/yen exchange rate that makes exporting to America unprofitable.
Following the Tsunami, Japanese automakers ramped up production in their North American facilities to compensate, but according to Automotive News, Nissan, Honda and others have all reported plans for still-further increased production in the year ahead. As part of this ramp-up, Mazda will open a facility in Salamnca, Mexico before March of 2014. Part of that increase in output is 50,000 units of a Toyota-badged compact car, which Mazda will produce.
Other Mexican production facilities opening include a Honda plant, which will open in Spring 2014 in Celaya, and a Nissan plant, set to open later this year in Aguascalientes. Nissan also said that it will need another plant in North America within the next five years. According to Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn, the company aims to raise its stake in the US market from 8 percent to 10, and adding production will help achieve that goal. Even Mitsubishi is aiming to boost production at its Normal, Illinois plant. Production of the Outlander Sport is currently at 50,000, which Mitsubishi wants to raise to 70,000.
