1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 TIME CAPSULE SURVIVOR - UN-RESTORED ORIGINAL
LOW RESERVE!!! RARE RED 1977 FJ40 WITH ONLY 44,436 ORIGINAL MILES! This FJ40 will be sold by auction end. Please call with serious inquiries. In person inspections are welcomed and recommended. Please Call or Text Bill at 305-283-8602 with any questions.
This FJ40 lived in Georgia from 1977 until 2007, than taken to rural Florida where it was housed in a climate controlled garage and barely driven. It was purchased from the original owner in Georgia on 4/16/2004 and than moved to Florida in 2007 where is was kept in the garage. The effective age of this vehicle should be considered as about 5-6 years old and is in the condition you would expect for a SUV/4 X 4 TRUCK with regular use at that age. Most services were completed by the owner, however receipts of maintenance indicate that at 39,984 miles (on 04/22/2004) the transmission and transfer case were serviced with new bearings and seals and the clutch and the engine rear main seal were replaced. At 40,083 miles (on 05/05/2004) It received normal services and a new set of tires. These tires are what you see in the photos, they are still on the truck today. The tires are in great shape and still roll and look great with no signs of wear or age. Since May of 2004 the truck was mostly kept in storage, only being driven occasionally taking it to it's current mileage of 44,436. And the trip from Georgia was about 800+ of the 4K driven in the past 9 years. When taking it out of storage this last year it was determined that the original carburetor required a rebuild, however due to the lack of time a Brand New Weber Carburetor was installed (it works great but is a bit noisier than the stock unit). The original carburetor and air cleaner is being sold with the vehicle. We also have four of the original wheels. This is an Incredibly solid truck, complete with a clean Florida title! This FJ40 is extremely solid and remarkably straight! Besides a couple of tiny spots, this truck has NO current major rust, and ABSOLUTELY NO areas of what would be considered "normal" for its age!!! None in the fenders, floor, roof, cowl, or ANYWHERE of significance! There have never been any rust repairs done in the past and the body is 100% steel with no filler or bondo. We considered doing some repairs on the minor dents here and there and the tiny rust spots we found, but thought an un-restored original where you could see exactly what you were getting would be more valuable. The only aftermarket upgrade is the modern stereo/cd player. The original radio is still in place with the newer sound system hidden in the glove box. This is one of the most solid late model ORIGINAL FJ40's that I've seen since I worked at a Toyota Dealer in the 80's! As you can see from the pictures, the paint is in good condition, reflects great, is very shiny and beads up like new in the rain. When you drive this truck around people cannot help but stare and point, it looks like it is 1980 again and you just came through a time portal. Not an over restored show truck that anyone with a thick wallet can get, but an authentic truck that looks like it is supposed to, tough and ready to hit the trail! The truck is located in Jensen Beach Florida, a sleepy little fishing town on the East Coast of Florida, just a mile away from the City of Stuart, "The Sailfish Capital of The World!" So the winning bidder can fly into West Palm Beach International Airport (about 30 minutes south), spend some time in Florida doing some awesome charter fishing, and than drive your FJ home anywhere you need to go. (No problem getting through the snow if you need to travel north). If you prefer to have it shipped, I am happy to help meet with the shipping company and help load the truck up. This FJ40 starts on the first crank, runs well, shifts great, goes down the road straight,
all lights and gauges work inside and out!
This FJ has had never had loads work done to it: this is what you get when you maintain and store something for years without thrashing it or beating it up. Unlike the majority of other FJ's out there, it is still 99% Toyota and not a hodge podge of aftermarket parts cobbled together. This is the rare original Freeborn Red that everyone likes, This FJ40 has the complete original drive train, jump seats, roll bar, dash, glass etc. Like all of the FJ's the front seat upholstery was not so tough, so the seat portion shows wear on the drivers side, and the stitches came loose on the passenger side. Again we considered repairing this before selling, but felt an unmolested original had a broader appeal, plus seat repairs are simple and quick anywhere you go. The headliner is still original and in great shape. The
engine is the original 2F that fires up first turn of the key. Please call or text Bill at 305-283-8602 with any questions! More pictures available upon request! Included with the truck is also a bikini top and tailgate kit, the original wheels, the original carburetor and air cleaner and some service documentation verifying the mileage history. I had my son make a quick video of me driving it a bit and posted it on YouTube: |

Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars
Wed, Jan 9 2019Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
2023 Japan Mobility Show Mega Photo Gallery: All the highlights and reveals from Tokyo
Fri, Oct 27 2023The 2023 Japan Mobility Show managed to serve up a surprise heap of exciting and futuristic designs and production reveals. Our staff was on the ground in Tokyo for this year's show, where we captured not just all of the latest automotive trends, but some genuinely weird and fascinating stuff. Browse: Some Delightful Oddities of the 2023 Japan Mobility Show But on to the cars. This year's show featured introductions from Daihatsu, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota. Some are weird; some are wild; most are probably destined to change significantly before production or merely fade into the void with the rest of the industry's vaporware, but if even a few of these make it to showrooms, we'll consider it a win. Scroll on down for our live galleries of each of the show's major debuts (and cars we're only now seeing in person for the first time). Enjoy!

Toyota Camry incentives and fleet sales cranked to keep sales crown, insiders worried
Mon, 01 Jul 2013We've been watching for some time now as Toyota has piled more incentives on the hood of its Camry sedan, and Automotive News reports that the we're not the only ones with raised eyebrows. The current Camry hasn't even been on the market for two years, but the family sedan segment is more hotly contested than it has been in years. It's that high level of competition that has led the automaker to uncharacteristically add more money on the hood in order to assure it maintains its long-held title of America's Best-Selling Car, a mantle it has owned for a dozen years. It's ramping up fleet sales, too.
According to the analysts at TrueCar, Toyota has bumped incentives per unit every month this year, now totaling some $2,750 as of May, a 38-percent hike over this time last year. That's more spiff money than the segment's other best sellers, the Nissan Altima ($2,400), Ford Fusion ($2,300) and Honda Accord ($1,400), all of whom have actually decreased their incentive spend by 20- to 40-percent over the same period.
The ramp up in incentive spending and fleet sales has analysts concerned that Toyota will tarnish the Camry's historically sterling resale value. ALG pegs the 2013 Camry's current 36-month residual value at 54.4 percent, well ahead of the segment average's 50.9 percent (but shy of the Accord's 55.6 percent). However, analysts are concerned that as the current generation ages, their resale values will eventually plummet if incentives continue to increase as Toyota looks to keep the Camry's best-selling car crown going forward.
