Very clean 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser with a Chevy 350c.i. V8 and a NV4500 5 speed transmission which is adapted to the original Toyota transfer case. This FJ40 has minimal rust and is equipped with a rare factory PTO winch. The engine swap was nicely done. Everything is correct from the exhaust to the motor mounts to the radiator (not a cobbled together hack job). Truck has 107500 miles on the clock. Runs, drives and stops excellent. The engine/trans swap was done a few years back and has proven reliable. The V8 and 5 speed trans allows this vehicle to be driven daily. It has the power to keep up with traffic in town and the 5th gear to keep up on the highway. Truck spent its entire life in the town of Canon City in Colorado. It was used but not abused. It is all original besides the engine swap and a rifle rack inside the drivers door. The original jack, tool bag, trouble light that plugs into the glove box, and owners manuals are still with the truck. I have the original sales receipt from Toyota Town Inc. Drive Train Chevy 350ci with an aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb and EFI. Engine runs strong and sounds healthy. Dual Flowmaster exhaust sounds great. Transmission is the desirable and bullet proof NV4500 5 speed adapted to the original Toyota transfer case. Shifts great, clutch excellent. Truck stops well with power disc brakes. Axles are original with original gearing. PTO winch works but has not seen much use, so the clutch lever is a bit stiff and needs some lube and love. Truck does not leak oil on the driveway. Body Original paint with that weird FJ40 fade. Cool patina. Some rust but very minimal for a FJ40. Floors are ridiculously clean and rust free and so are the doors. A few dings but over all pretty straight. Windows go up and down good but regulators are a bit sticky. Con-Fer rail mount roof rack. Interior Seats are nice original material, drivers seat has a small tear. Dash is clean but two Autometer gauges have been installed. They were installed neatly. Gauges work. Lights, signals, horn, wipers, heater controls work as they should. Headliner is gone. Rear heater is developing a leak (only when heat is on) and will need to be fixed eventually. I can bypass it if the winning bidder chooses to drive the FJ home. Tires/Wheels Wheels are original with original hub caps. Tires are near new 31x10.50 KM2 BF Goodrich mud terrains. They have a few hundred miles on them. The matching spare is still brand new. Overall a nice clean start to a restoration, or a very cool driver the way it is. The truck shows signs of use but not abuse. Whoever installed the V8 knew what they were doing and obviously cared about the end results. It is not currently registered or insured, but if you are up for an adventure I believe you could fly out, throw your gear in the back, and drive it home. I can meet the buyer at the Colorado Springs airport with the truck. Below is a link to 145 pictures. I believe I have covered every part of the vehicle. Call with questions at 719-557-1755 anytime. If you need to see something not covered in the pics just call and I will text what you need. http://s470.photobucket.com/user/TimothyHannon/library/1976%20Landcruiser?sort=3&page=1 I would like a $500.00 deposit within 24hrs of auction close, and full payment within 48hrs unless otherwise arranged through me.

2013 Toyota RAV4 earns 'poor' rating in IIHS small overlap crash test [w/video]
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested a batch of SUVs in its small overlap frontal crash test earlier this year, it held off on putting the Toyota RAV4 in the blender because the new, 2013 model was due to arrive shortly after the test. The new crossover might be better than it was before, but it could still only manage a rating of "Poor" in the test that has been a bugbear for a number of manufacturers.
Among other issues, the IIHS noted that the steering column moved seven inches to the right causing the crash test dummy to practically miss the airbag, the dummy's left foot was trapped in deformed sheetmetal and the dummy's head hit the instrument panel.
The 2013 RAV4 earned the Top Safety Pick rating by scoring well in the Institute's four other tests. A good score in this particular test would have earned it the Top Safety Pick+ rating that is so far only claimed by the 2014 Subaru Forester and 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in the SUV category. There's a press release below with more details and a video of the test.
Toyota confirms i-Road electric trike for production
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The wacky, three-wheeled Toyota i-Road we saw in Geneva earlier this year will be heading to production. But before you run down to your local Toyota dealer looking for one of these all-electric "personal mobility" vehicles, chances are, you'll never actually see one unless you visit Japan.
Announced at the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) expo last week, Toyota said that the i-Road would be used as a part of the Ha:Mo car-sharing system in Japan. Weighing in at around 661 pounds, with a 28-mile-per-hour top speed and a two-passenger seating arrangement, the i-Road seems more like a fully enclosed scooter than a car, but it does offer a 30-mile driving range and has a nifty articulating front suspension that leans into corners. As for Ha:Mo, Toyota says that the number of cars in the program will increase from 10 prior to October 1 to 100 by the middle of this month, and the number of stations will almost double from 13 up to 21. Toyota has more details about the car and Ha:Mo in the press release posted below.
1967 Toyota 2000GT most expensive Asian car ever sold at $1.2M
Fri, 10 May 2013Toyota's agelessly beautiful 2000GT has been sold by RM Auctions for $1.16 million, making it the new record holder for the most expensive Asian car ever sold. As always, rarity played a big factory in driving up the price; just 351 2000GT models were built, and only 62 left-hand-drive cars (like this one). The classic Toyota, standout member of Texas car-collector Don Davies' paddock, was originally a US-delivery car that spent time in a collection back in a Japan before returning to Texas just a short time ago. The car last sold in March of 2011, for just $650,000.
Enthusiasts will recognize the 2000GT as perhaps the most heralded Japanese classic of all time. The Toyota was a contemporary of the Jaguar E-Type - though one that obviously sold in a fraction of the English car's numbers - that was well reviewed by the motoring press of the day. Sometimes referred to as Japan's first supercar, the 2000GT boasted a 150-horsepower, dual overhead cam, 2.0-liter straight-six engine; a five-speed manual transmission; and a reported top speed of over 135 miles per hour.
RM described this record-setting example as, "the finest and most authentic 2000GT to come to market in recent years," equating it with blue chip classic exotics like the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura.
