Up for grabs is this 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser (or Landcruiser) FJ40!  This FJ is in great mechanical shape, and the 2F engine just got a full tune-up, a new fuel filter, and an oil change.  I have been using this FJ as a daily driver, and it starts very easily and cruises on both city streets and at highway speeds easily (up to 65 mph).  It is easily to start, and all gauges function except for the oil pressure gauge (oil pressure has been checked and is in-line with normal operating ranges).   A recently completed compression test shows all cylinders to be +/-10 psi of 150 psi.  In addition to the tune-up, the FJ also has new wheel cylinders and new brakes at all four corners, as well as a new master cylinder. 

This FJ also features four nearly new Nexen 31" tires with plenty of tread, the original spare wheel is included and mount.  The hard top appears to be original.  All wipers, brake lights, and turn signals are operational, but it does not have a radio currently.  Both jump seats are present!  Original headliner also appears to be present, and it is sagging in several areas, this does not affect vision or driveability and can be easily removed. 

Tow hitch also!  As an added bonus, it has a large Warn winch mounted on the front of the vehicle, I have not personally tested this winch but it appears to have all parts present.  Front bumper appears to be custom made, and features old cases mounted on both sides.  Bumperettes in rear appear to be original. 

If you have any questions, or if you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me on 615-300-6004 (call or text), or email me through eBay. 

Yes, there is some rust present on the body, which is why I am not asking $50,000+ for this FJ40.  This Land Cruiser has been repainted in a sky blue hue, and looking at the door jambs, it appears that it was originally sky blue.  The paint is not perfect.  Yes, this FJ has rust, this may not be the best choice of vehicle for you.  However, if you want an affordable FJ40 that starts easily, is fun to drive and one that attracts A LOT of attention, this may be the FJ you have been looking for!   FJ40's are sky-rocketing in value, and this would be an excellent truck to keep, especially if you want to rescue Jeeps!

Please do not bid if you are not serious; bids are legally binding and non-paying bidders will be fully prosecuted. 

For any serious buyer, I am happy to provide the name and number of my mechanic who performed the tune-up and inspection. 

We do take trade-ins, please contact me directly for details. 

I will end the auction early for a reasonable offer, but please do not contact me asking what the reserve is (it is set very low), or what my "bottom dollar" would be. 

We accept the following forms of payment: Cash, Personal Check, Wire Transfer (small fee applies), or Credit/Debit Cards (3% swipe fee applies).  We do charge a $199 doc fee, a .03% City of Nashville tax, and $25 to send the title to you via FedEx.  This FJ40 does have a clean/clear title in my possession, and I will only release the title after all funds are received.  We will wait seven (7) days for funds to clear if paying by personal check. 

I ship vehicles frequently, both nationally and internationally, and I can have this FJ40 delivered to your door for less than you might think.  In order to get the most accurate shipping quote, please send me your zip code for a ballpark estimate.  The FJ will be made available for shipping only after all funds have been received.

Again, please ask any and all questions BEFORE the end of the auction, my direct cell phone number is 615-300-6004. 

Thanks!

Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.

Toyota sells 3-millionth Prius

Sun, 07 Jul 2013

Three generations in sixteen years and more than three million units sold worldwide - as of the end of June, those are the stats on the Toyota Prius. Even though Toyota says Prius sales might not reach the goal of 250,000 units this year, the little hybrid that could still doesn't have any problem flying off dealer lots. The second-generation Prius sold 1.2 million examples in its eight-year lifespan, and the third generation, introduced in 2009, has sold 1.7 million examples in just four years.
Toyota is also touting its investment in future powertrains, some 790 billion yen ($7.9 billion US) on research and development into new platforms and components, and "environmental technology development."
The press release below has more details, the future undoubtedly has more Priuses Prii in it.

Ford barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever

Thu, Jan 8 2015

The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.
