The Ultimate in a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40!

*****************************************************

Please read carefully:

Up for auction is a completely restored and customized, 1975 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Please continue to read for all the details.

Please Note: The first few photos of the completed cruisers in this listing, are actually of "two different" Land Cruisers I've previously sold on Ebay and not the 1975 restored FJ40 for sale here. They are being shown simply as representation of exactly what the cruiser offered here will look like.... Please read on:

The 1975 Toyota FJ40 for sale here, is in it's final stages of being completed and will be available for delivery the end of February 2014. Normally, I've always completed a restoration before offering it for sale. I am listing this cruiser before final completion, due to a couple simple reasons. Honestly, I am invested in this project well beyond what I originally had planned. As you'll see in the photo presentation, every inch of this cruiser has been addressed and all work completed with care and quality detail. I simply need to secure a buyer before I invest another $15,000 from my pocket... This cruiser will be set up exactly as those you see in the beginning photos. Every bell and whistle possible is included while at the same time, being careful not to take away too much from the stock appearance that made these rigs so popular. The best of both worlds! If it sells in this auction, I will be keeping the buyer informed with photos daily as to the progress…. Again, scheduled completion by the end of February 2014. That does depend on the buyer and if any special requests might want to be added. At this point, I am in the final re-assembly stage, however, I also am not too far, if a buyer might want a different color, different wheels, different tires, ect., those are definitely a possibility and can be discussed if the sell price can justify the change. The only thing I won't change at this point, is the drive train. I am extremely confident in my work and all my restoration projects. If you’d like more details on exactly what this 1975 FJ40 project will include, please read the description below:

On the Ground

This Land Cruiser will be equipped with new 35x12.50x15 Goodyear MTR’s mounted on new polished aluminum custom wheels with a matching spare mounted on the tire carrier on the rear. The leaf springs will be installed on top of the axles to provide a 5 inch lift (SOA), which will allow for the suspension to maintain the ride and handling as from the factory. All new shackles, shackle bushings, and greaseable bolts will be used on all leaf springs. Front and rear will be set up with all new power disc brakes, (rotors, calipers, pads, and master cylinder) along with all stainless steel brake lines. It will also have all new saginaw power steering and custom high steer arms to allow clearance over the springs. Front and rear differentials are completely gone through will have the OEM, 411 gearing and have all new seals and gaskets throughout. All new Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks and steering stabilizer will complete the underside and give this cruiser as comfortable a ride as possible. The entire tub will be sandblasted and taken down to bare metal. Both the inside floorboard and the underside of the tub will then be sprayed and coated with a bed liner to protect from any moisture or future rust.

Under the Hood

The power train will include a totally rebuilt SBC 350 set up by the well known Sauer's Machine, from Medford Oregon. They have been building quality motors for years and offer a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty on this one. It will be dressed out with all chrome accessories, topped with a new Edlebrock carburetor, aluminum valve covers, and matching aluminum oil pan and air filter. It will also be cooled by a new all aluminum radiator and 16” thermostatically controlled electric fan. The transmission will be a completely rebuilt, Turbo 350 automatic, and will be bolted to the OEM two speed transfer case. The exhaust will be all custom, starting from the ceramic lined, chrome plated, block hugger headers, and continuing down along the inside of the frame and then dumping out just behind the rear tire on the driver’s side. This system will be designed and built with all 3” pipe for maximum flow and optimum performance.

The Body

The tub and all body parts will be totally stripped and re-painted in GM’s brilliant white. All the hardware, hood hooks, door hinges, windshield hooks, vent covers, handles, will all be new polished stainless steel or newly chromed. The front will contain a CCOT custom shackle bumper, chrome tow hooks, a Warn 9500lb high speed winch, and an on board air system for airing up tires, swimming tubes, or just blowing off dust after a long ride. As mentioned above, the rear will contain a swing away tire carrier for the matching spare, and a 2” receiver tow hitch installed that will be wired for towing. There will be a special tail gate included for use when the ambulance doors are off during the Summer as well. The rear quarter panels and side running boards will have diamond plate covers for cosmetic and protection purposes only. They will be installed with weather stripping to prevent any moisture from penetrating that could possibly cause rust or other damage. All lighting, turn signals, marker lights, and headlights, will be new along with chrome rock guards and a chrome headlight bezel. This rig will come with a hard top. It will have two sets of doors, one full set, and a custom half set for Summer. All windows will be dark limo tint and a new headliner will be installed.

The Interior

The interior will contain a full roll cage securely mounted for protection. Front leather seats will be full “8 way” power and mounted on a special designed frame. In between the seats will be a Tuffy lockable console to protect your valuables. Rear seats will be either FJ40 foldable jump seats upholstered to match, or a custom bench seat. That will be the buyers choice and will be installed at the time of sale. All new seat belts will be installed front and rear and safely secured. The entire dash will have all rebuilt or new OEM gauges and controls and will be fully operational with the GM power train. There will also be a new Vintage heating and air conditioning system installed for comfort in all seasons. A full stereo/navigation system with back-up camera will fill the spot where the OEM radio was placed. The steering column will be a tilt GM model and hold a new Grant steering wheel. The ambulance doors in the rear, and the front doors, will have all new window regulators, new window felt, and all new weather stripping. As mentioned earlier, the entire inside of the tub will be bed lined for protection. As a final touch on the interior, there will be a custom fit carpet set installed in both the front and the rear.

Summary

This is a total “FRAME OFF” restoration! Not a nut or bolt will be left untouched during this build, and most, will be replaced with stainless steel instead of the regular hardened steel hardware. I’ve tried to list everything to be included on this 1975 Land Cruiser restoration in this description. There are many other basic options that might not listed here, but will be part of the restoration. There are also other options that can be added that aren’t listed. Those items, depending on what they are, can be discussed and possibly included as well. Please don’t be afraid to ask any questions..

Please remember, this project is not scheduled to be complete until next month. At that time, I will deliver for free within 500 miles of my home in Northern California.

A complete photo documentation is available upon request. I will be happy to send you the link to that slideshow. Unfortunately, Ebay policy will not allow me to include it in this listing.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.

Toyota, PSA extend partnership with new European van

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Toyota and PSA Peugeot Citroen collaborate on a number of vehicles. One of them is a small van jointly developed by the two automakers but marketed individually under their own brands across Europe. Now they've announced the extension of that collaboration, and revealed the first image and details of their new product. Set to be unveiled at their respective booths at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March are the new Toyota ProAce, Peugeot Traveller, and Citroen Spacetourer. They replace the Toyota model of the same name as well as the outgoing Peugeot Expert and Citroen Dispatch, and will each be made available in private and commercial shuttle forms. Although technical specifications have yet to be announced, each will share the same underpinnings and mechanical components, leaving only the parts you can see changing from one brand's version to the next. Expect engines to range from 1.5 to 2.0 liters and burning gasoline or diesel, but the latter will undoubtedly prove the more popular option in Europe. No mention was made of a replacement for the Fiat Scudo, another badge-engineered version of the same van program in its current form. That would seem to suggest that Fiat Professional is either preparing to go it alone with the next-generation Scudo, or phase out the model altogether. The current Scudo slots in between the smaller Doblo (imported to the US as the Ram ProMaster City) and the larger Ducato which was also jointly developed with PSA and sold as the Citroen Jumper/Relay, Peugeot Boxer, and here in America as the Ram ProMaster. The ProAce and its cousins are made by PSA at its Sevel plant in Valenciennes, France. Aside from their vans, the Japanese and French automakers also collaborate on the city car platform sold alternately as the Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 108, and Citroen C1. Fiat also partners with PSA on the smaller Fiat Fiorino/Qubo, Peugeot Bipper and Citroen Nemo. All of which just goes to show what a tangled web they weave in the European market, especially where commercial vehicles are concerned. NEW STAGE IN THE CO-OPERATION PROGRAM BETWEEN PSA PEUGEOT CITROEN AND TOYOTA PSA Peugeot Citroen and Toyota Motor Europe (TME) reveal today the new Citroen SPACETOURER, Peugeot TRAVELLER, and Toyota PROACE. They will be available in MPV versions for private use and in shuttle versions for business use. Both companies therefore confirm the continuation of their co-operation agreement signed in 2012.
