I have been an enthusiest for 20 years and have had many fj45 pickups over the years. A friend of mine in australia and I decided to bring some fj45 utes over from australia here to california. My goal is to bring in some neat fj45's and hj47 utes and offer them as real untouched,unrestored, running and driving work trucks and most importantly offer them at affordable prices that most can afford. There will be no fresh paint jobs, bondo,mismatched parts,etc. No buy it now for $75k!! No dealers, or out of the country sales. These trucks are located in California by private party. with that said they cannot be registered here in california directly. They need to be registered in a neighboring state first and then can come into california. So use due diligence when bidding and make sure you can register in your state(most are very easy) California is always the hardest state to register vehicles. This truck will be sold with a bill of sale and dot import paperwork, Aussie trucks do not have a title. This is a 1977 fj45 ute rhd. It has been upgraded with the much sought after 1hz late model toyota diesel engine,as well as an h41 4spd with the low first gear,and a split transfercase. It also has power disk brakes and rare power steering! and factory full float rear end and split rims! It is a well used original paint fj45 that runs great, goes down the road great. the engine has aprox 180 km and has NO blowby, and does not smoke at all, even dead cold fires right up after a short glow(manual glow system. Runs very strong and is quiet,a real joy to drive. the frame is solid, no rust,the cab has various rust spots,top lower corners( I have replacement sections for this) Pass floor has some rust through,windshield frame has some minor areas,nothing that isnt fixable.The brakes need some work, right front caliper seized and maybe a master cylinder? Hard pedal fade. Engine is very dry, no major leaks anywhere.Seats need some work. Basically an honest solid drivetrain,that runs drives and goes down the road. Would be a great truck to tinker on and fix the cosmetics as you drive. Please ask questions and have good feedback, and be serious and dont waste my time! Good luck...THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION!!

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

Toyota Aygo, Citro?n C1 to join Peugeot 108 in Geneva

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Just the other day, Peugeot took the wraps off the new 108. But its new city car, like the 107 it replaces, doesn't stand on its own. The 107 was a sister vehicle to not only the Citroën C1 but also the Toyota Aygo. So it should come as little surprise that, while Peugeot was the first to release photos and details on its version, Citroën and Toyota will also be on hand with their own versions when the veils lift on all three at the Geneva Motor Show.
We're expecting the new trio of budget-oriented hatchbacks to bear the fruits of individual efforts to distinguish themselves one from another more than their predecessors, which essentially looked the same save for different badges. But from the teaser image above, we'd venture that the Toyota version will be a further departure from the 108 than the C1 will be.
One way or another we'll have to wait and see, but for now you can view Toyota's teaser clip below, along with the press releases confirming the debut of both in Geneva next month.

Watch the Muppets go for ice cream in a Toyota

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Do Muppets drive? We're not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but it's been known to happen. Fozzy called his hibernating uncle's Studebaker a bear's "natural habitat," and Doctor Teeth wouldn't get the Electric Mayhem very far without his band's psychedelically painted school bus. But how about Rolf in a 2014 Toyota Highlander?
That's what we got a glimpse of in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and the same combination (plus one Rizzo the Rat) that features in this adorably ordinary video below. Ordinary because it's just a couple of guys going out for an ice cream. Adorable because, well... they're Muppets. See what we mean in the surprisingly entertaining two-minute clip below.
