1978 Toyota Fj40 Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Charleston, South Carolina, United States
|
I bought this car in 1988 in Hickory, NC. It was my first vehicle and I have owned it since then. I was the 3rd owner and apparently it was bought in NC. I drove it to South Carolina a few years ago and the rust started showing up recently. I have decided to let go of this car simply because it will continue to deteriorate here. I had it painted about 5 years ago and put brand new BF Goodrich tires on it then too. In 1989 the oil pump went out and I mistakenly kept driving it and blew the motor...I replaced it with another Toyota FJ40 straight 6 with less miles. The odometer is broken, but I would guess that the body has 150,000 miles on it and the engine about 120,000. The other gauges work, but the odometer stopped working a few years ago. The car runs great. I recently had it tuned up and the Toyota mechanic, who sees a lot of FJ's said that this one had "really good bones" and that it was a solid vehicle. You will see in the pictures that there are some rust spots that could use attention. There is a missing antenna, missing mirror on passenger side, and a fender flare needs replacement. The original seats could use stitching, but I just covered them with covers. The brush guard that I bought is bent. That's about all the bad stuff. The car is a beauty and very cool. I am including the roof rack as well, but it needs new clamps to attach it...I get get it to attach with a few of the clamps, but it would be more secure with new ones. You could easily drive it home with a couple of safety straps for good measure.
If you need more pictures, just ask. Buyer assumes all responsibility - no warranty offered. Buyer pays shipping and makes all arrangements for pickup. I have this car listed on other sites and reserve the right to take this one down early at any time. Buy this baby and give it a little love... it will love you back. |

Toyota to offer sedan version of GT 86?
Fri, 11 Oct 2013Sources in Australia are reporting that we'll be seeing a small, rear-drive sedan from Toyota, based on the GT 86/Scion FR-S. Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go).
Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.
Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.
Toyota nears $40B cash reserve as calls grow for new investment, payouts
Wed, 05 Feb 2014With the April 15 tax deadline just a few months away, our US readers will be faced with a decision should they get a refund: save or spend? It seems this issue is one many of us face whenever there's a windfall, trying to decide whether we should set the money aside in an account of some sort or use it as a down payment on a new car or a trip to the Apple store. Unsurprisingly, major corporations face a similar, albeit more complex, issue.
Take Toyota, for example. With President Akio Toyoda at the helm, the Japanese manufacturer has gracefully weathered recalls and natural disasters, all while turning beaucoup profits. Last quarter, profits quintupled to 434.4-billion yen ($4.3-billion USD), according to Bloomberg. Toyota also upped its forecast for the end of fiscal year 2013 (which ends on March 31 for Japan), to a record 1.9-trillion yen (about $18.8 billion). Now, the Japanese brand is reportedly sitting on a cash pile of nearly $40 billion, leaving Toyoda-san in an envious predicament - what should the company do with all that money?
Some think Toyota should be doing something, anything with that big stack of cash.
HQ move based on study, not pitch from Gov. Perry, Toyota says
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Toyota's surprising announcement on Monday that it will move its North American headquarters from Torrance, CA location to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX is allegedly not due to any political wrangling from the state's Republican governor, Rick Perry.
Perry (above) has been up front in his aggressive pursuit of businesses and jobs for Texas, traveling to California, Missouri, Illinois and New York to tempt corporations to his state. And it's not just about the promise of much lower taxes, a Perry spokesman reminds Automotive News that the state boasts, "a workforce that is skilled and ready to do any job."
For his part, Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American CEO said Plano was chosen through an internal process, with the location helped by its proximity to the company's massive pickup factory in San Antonio rather than any campaigning from the governor.
