1977 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 Landcruiser Trades Financing Original Trade-in on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:57608 Color: has some rust as shown on the body and rear of the cab
Location:

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Up for grabs is this rare 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.  This FJ is in excellent mechanical shape, and I just had it fully tuned-up, to include all new fluids, new spark plugs, wires, etc, and also a new fuel filter.  At the same time, I had a compression test performed-all cylinders were within 5psi of 150 psi, this 2F motor is very strong.  The Land Cruiser starts up very easily, and I have been using this as a daily driver on both city streets and the highway with no problems.  I rarely have to use the choke, it starts that easily!  Brakes are tight are work very well.  The four speed transmission shifts easily, the clutch is strong, and while older, it does have plenty of "pep" to keep up with traffic.    

Interior is also in good shape, as all of the gauges are fully functional, the wipers work, and so do the turn signals!  The radio is present, it may not be original, and it is not functional at present.  The seats are in brand-new shape, and have clearly been recovered.  The heater is present for both the front and the rear, and appears to be complete (although I have not tested it).  Rear jump seats are included with the vehicle.  

Obviously, the exterior has some rust as shown on the body and rear of the cab.  However, it is not nearly as bad as some of the Land Cruisers I have had, and everything is easily fixable.  Tires have plenty of tread, spare is covered by a modern FJ Cruiser wheel cover; original wheels and hub caps appear to be in good condition.  Since these photos have been taken, I replaced the brake light covers with new pieces.  I know that it does not have ambulance doors presently, but this could be easily remedied.  The front bumper is new, as is the grille guard.  I will include rear bumperettes with the sale.  

Please feel free to ask any questions BEFORE the end of the auction, my cell phone is 615-300-6004.  

I am a licensed dealer located in Nashville, TN; my main focus is Toyota Land Cruisers and other vintage SUV's/4x4's, and this is a great example of an FJ that can be purchased for an affordable price and driven as-is and/or restored.  In addition to the purchase price, there is a $199 doc fee, .03% Nashville city tax, and a $25 fee to send the title to you via FedEx.  

I can assist with financing for this FJ, please contact me directly for details. 

I will take trades on a case-by-case basis, please contact me directly to discuss.  

I can also assist with delivery of this FJ to you anywhere in the United States or internationally (buyer to pay all shipping fees), please provide your zip code for the most accurate quote.  

Again, please ask any and all questions before the end of the auction.  Please confirm with your spouse/partner/child/pet/religious leader that you are serious about purchasing this vehicle BEFORE bidding AND that you have the sufficient funds in place to pay for this FJ40.  Again, I am available to answer questions on 615-300-6004 or via eBay.  

We accept the following forms of payment: Cash, Cashier's Check, Wire Transfer (small fee applies), and Credit/Debit Cards (3% swipe fee applies).  I will release the title only after all of the outstanding balance has been collected; if paying by check, title will be sent separately after seven (7) business days.  The FJ will be sold with a thirty day temporary tag.  I will send the title to the buyer via FedEx.  

This is a great driving truck with a ton of potential that is ready for immediate duty as a daily driver.  The reserve is set VERY low for an FJ40, please do not contact me to disclose the reserve price.  This vehicle is also listed for sale on Rockstar Motorcars.  

Thanks!

Lexus Eco Challenge rewards schools for clean water, briquette press projects

Fri, Feb 28 2014

Teams from one New Jersey high school and one Michigan middle school reversed the old adage by thinking locally and acting globally. And that strategy won them the grand prizes in the most recent edition of the Lexus Eco Challenge. The future is indeed bright. The Toyota luxury-vehicle division gave out a half-million dollars in this year's contest. One $30,000 grand prize was awarded to the Pinelands Eco Scienteers from Little Egg Harbor, NJ, which produced and distributed low-cost briquette presses to rural villages beset by deforestation. The other grand prize went to the E.T. Electrical Team from Byron Center West Middle School in Michigan. That middle-school group raised money to send water filters to Haiti, Kenya and the Philippines. Lexus also awarded eight $15,000 first-place awards, with the winners including high schools from California, Florida, Missouri and Pennsylvania as well as middle schools from Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina and Texas. A special shout out goes to Daniel Boone Area High School in Birdsboro, PA, where students created an educational and public-relations campaign to publicize algae-based biofuels. In all, Lexus has doled out more than $4 million in Eco Challenge awards in seven years. Check out Lexus's press release below. Students Get Dollars and Sense in Lexus Eco Challenge - $500,000 Awarded to Teams Who Learn About Environment and Community Empowerment Two Grand Prize Teams Earn $30,000 Eight $15,000 First Place Awards Given to Innovative High School and Middle School Teams Students Bring Ideas to a Larger Audience and Make a Positive Impact on the World TORRANCE, Calif., (Feb. 24, 2014) – It's a win, win situation! Communities become a better place, and students, teachers and schools have the chance to share $500,000 in scholarships and grants through the Lexus Eco Challenge. This year, the $30,000 Grand Prize winners are the Pinelands Eco Scienteers from Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, and the E.T. Electrical Team from Byron Center, Michigan. The Lexus Eco Challenge is an educational program and contest that inspires and empowers young people to learn about the environment and take action to improve it. High school and middle school teams nationwide define an environmental issue that is important to them, develop an action plan to address the issue, implement the plan, and report on the results.

Reprising The Recipe For A Perfect Slice Of Toast
My toaster broke the other week. Halfway through the process of cooking my gourmet Pop-Tart breakfast, the thing crapped out with a small bang, leaving my delicious morning treats trapped inside. To rectify the situation, I ventured out to a big box store, located the toaster aisle, and ran a couple of questions through my mind. Do I need two slots or four? Do I need to spend more than 20 bucks on this thing? Should I just buy a toaster oven to give me a wider range of bachelor-pad cooking functionality? After no more than two minutes of contemplation, I grabbed the cheapest one on the shelf, paid and left the store. The new toaster works just fine.
This sort of unemotional shopping experience is how I suspect people decide to purchase the Toyota Corolla. It's a perfectly fine appliance, and to a good number of people in the world, the bond between a car and a driver is no more important than the connection I feel to my toaster. Does it seat four people relatively comfortably? Does it get decent fuel economy? Is it easy to drive? Reliable? Safe? The Corolla checks all of these boxes, and because of that, Toyota managed to move just under 300,000 examples of the tenth-generation car in 2012 (though that number does include sales of the Corolla-based, now-deceased Matrix) - a vehicle that, at the time, was already six years old.
