Up for grabs is this 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.  This FJ features what we believe to be the original engine, original transmission, and original hard top.  This FJ starts easily and drives very well at speed, it has a four speed manual transmission.  All four tires match (spare is not present) and have well over 50% tread showing.  The interior is very complete, and the dash pad is in very good condition, all of the gauges/lights/electrics work, and there is an FJ40 rubber floor mat for the front passenger cab.  There is also what appears to be the original headliner, this is in very good condition.  Original roll bar is also present and in good condition.  Radio does not appear to be functioning.  The heater does work as do the wipers.  All brake lights, headlights, and turn signals are functioning.  

On 12/9, this FJ received a full tune-up by a master mechanic, to include spark plugs AND fuel filter as well as an oil change.  It idles well and evenly, and there is plenty of power from the engine.  At the same time, I had a compression test performed on the engine, the results are below:

Cylinder 1-150 psi
Cylinder 2-151 psi
Cylinder 3-155 psi
Cylinder 4-150 psi
Cylinder 5-160 psi
Cylinder 6-160 psi

As you can see from the pictures, the most immediate issue facing this FJ is the rust, the tub should be considered gone or close to gone.  However, the chassis shows remarkably little rust (I have additional photos of the undercarriage, please let me know if you want them sent to you), and the hard top, doors, hood, etc should all be salvageable.  

This Land Cruiser starts easily (first crank), the carb and engine appear to be in excellent working order, and after driving this FJ, I can attest that the clutch is very strong and there is plenty of power.  The vehicle also has an Optima red top battery as well as Warn locking hubs.  This should be an excellent candidate for a full restoration that can also be driven throughout the process.  

The sale includes what appears to be the original Bill of Sale as well as the original key.  Also included is a complete owner's manual.  

If you have ANY questions, would like to see additional photos, would like to receive videos of the vehicle with the engine idling, or need any additional information, my cell phone is 615-300-6004.  Please feel free to call and/or text during normal business hours, and I will make every effort to accommodate you.  

Please note: I am an automobile dealer in Nashville, TN.  My main focus is finding, driving, buying and selling Land Cruisers and other vintage SUV's.  As such, I must collect sales tax for Tennessee residents ONLY; I do charge a doc fee of $199 per vehicle.  I do have several other FJ's available, our website is RockstarMotorcars.com.  

I accept the following forms of payment: Credit cards (3% swipe fee applies), personal checks, cashier's checks, wire transfers (small fee applies), and cash.  This FJ40 will come with a 30 day temporary tag, and I will only send out the title after all funds have been collected, title will be sent by FedEx.  Vehicle will be made available to depart our location only after all funds have been collected.  All sales are final. 

YES, I will end this auction early for the right offer, please contact me directly on 615-300-6004.   

I DO accept vehicles as trades on a limited basis, you must bring your vehicle to Nashville for me to evaluate it before I will sell you this FJ40.  

I can have this FJ40 delivered to your front door nationally or internationally for far less than you might think (i.e. $500 to DC, $700 to Los Angeles); please provide your zip code for an accurate estimate on shipping.  

Please consider all aspects of owning a classic Toyota Land Cruiser BEFORE bidding, a bid is a legally binding contract.  Please remember to check with your spouse/child/partner/pet/religious leader and ensure that you have "permission" to purchase this vehicle AND that you have all necessary funds in place, all nonpaying bidders will be fully prosecuted.  

Again, if you have any questions or need additional photos/videos, please feel free to call or text me on 615-300-6004.  This is a great Land Cruiser that drives well and could be the base for a great restoration, thank you for looking!

Jay Leno goes offroading with the legendary Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Jay Leno takes a step outside of his cavernous garage for this latest video for a jaunt into the desert to get a little dirty. He meets up with off-road racing legend Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart, who has multiple Baja 500 and 1000 wins in his motorsports career, to play with a Toyota Tundra in the sand.
Unfortunately, Leno doesn't get to interview Stewart too deeply about his long history in racing, but Ironman does talk a little bit about reading the trail while speeding through the desert. In lieu of a great conversation, there is a ton of high-quality footage of the Toyota bounding through the desert.
This clip feels more like a marketing effort than the usual output from Jay Leno's Garage, but it's still great to see Stewart behind the wheel sliding a truck, just like old times. The two of them even take the truck on a somewhat humorous journey at the end of the video.

Ram takes out frustrations on Camry

Fri, May 29 2015

No, not a Ram pickup truck. This is an actual ram, as in a male sheep, headbutting the hell out of a Toyota Camry that made the unfortunate decision to interrupt its battle with a rival member of the flock. Now, before you say, "How dare that Camry harm that cuddly sheep," we'd like to point out just how viciously the two males were fighting before the Toyota butted in. And after smashing the driver's side front fascia, the ram goes right back to attempting to beat down its opponent. All things considered then, we'd call this Ram: 1, Camry: 0.
