I bought this car in April 1997 from a private party in Seattle, Washington. At that time it passed emission testing in Seattle and all the gear is still there.  I drove the car from Seattle to my home in Anaconda, Montana.  It operated very nice, just as it was supposed to.  I have not found the time to restore it and most likely will not in the future as I have other cars that have been waiting ‘their turn’ for over 40 years.

The mechanical operation is good with the following qualification:  All of the rubber hoses, boots, fuel lines and etc. should be replaced prior to driving.  They are very old now and well past a useful and safe life.  The odometer reading is 39,195 and I believe that is the true miles.

Car has been thoroughly steam cleaned and purposely left uncoated so that you can see exactly what you are getting.  The only undercoat is the remains of the thin original coat.  It hides nothing from view.

The major pieces of body metal that should be replaced are both rear wheel well quarter panels, the bottoms of both rear doors and the rear sill.  New replacement panels are included in the auction.  There are some rusted places in the floor board beneath the front doors.  These will repair with individual shop-made patches.

New parts included that have not been installed from Spector Off Road (SOR.com):

  • Original seat upholstery kit
  • Cargo Mat
  • Carpet set
  • Dash cap
  • Ambulance door weather strip L/H
  • Ambulance door weather strip R/H
  • Drivers door weather strip
  • Passenger door weather strip

New parts included that have not been installed from Cool Cruisers of Texas (coolcruisers.com):

  • L/H quarter panel
  • R/H quarter panel
  • Rear sill
  • Ambulance door repair panels:  both doors/2 pieces per door

Replacement cost for the new parts is over $1800.00 minus freight.

This is the original paint on the car.  It is not very pretty anymore but if you want to be able to see exactly what you are getting into then it is what you want.   This car will restore nicely to a first-class Cruiser that will have no problems or shortcomings that need an excuse.

The door panels are usable but do have defects.  The seats need the upholstery kit I referenced in the “new parts” list.

If you intend to install a different engine I will buy back the complete engine for 15 percent of the sale price.

A $500.00 deposit is required which is refundable if the car is not as described.

Additional photos on request.

I have another FJ40 on eBay now.  Its story is similar to this one.

Manga stylized Toyota Aygo takes on Godzilla

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

Japan has given the world so much to enthuse over. We're not sure the Toyota Aygo is necessarily one of them as much as, say, the Scion FR-S or Lexus LFA (especially since it's actually made in Europe), but for many Nipponophiles, the centuries-old artistic discipline of Manga certainly is. And now the two have come together in this two-and-a-half-minute animated short.
In Toyota's own take on the classic narrative, an Aygo animated by celebrated artist Sonia Leong takes on Godzilla. As in, a giant lizard rampaging through a Japanese city, not the Nissan GT-R, against which the little Toyota would certainly stand even less of a chance by any metric other than affordability, fuel economy or ability to park in tight spots.
In any case, watch this Manga-fied video above, and feel free to read through the related press release below.

Spongebob Squarepants Toyota Highlander gets Tanked in Vegas

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

In 2006, I bought a Scion xB (the super upright, first-generation one), and I always had this wild dream of turning the xBox into an aquarium after it had run its course in my personal test fleet. Long story short, that never happened. But apparently the folks at Toyota got wind of my idea - only, well, this isn't exactly what I had in mind.
Let's just start at the beginning here. This is a 2014 Toyota Highlander - you know, the redesigned one that bowed in New York earlier this year. I haven't driven it yet, but I'm sure it's plenty nice and will appeal to all sorts of families. Families with kids. Kids who like cartoons. Cartoons like Spongebob Squarepants.
Which brings me to our next talking point: the collaboration between Toyota and Nickelodeon for the Spongebob-themed wrap that covers every inch of this Highlander. This isn't the first time we've seen the yellow cartoon sponge on a Highlander - Toyota unveiled a differently wrapped version earlier this year - but this one features more of an aquatic, under-the-sea sort of theme. Perfect, considering the main point of this crossover's reason for being at SEMA.

Tue, 18 Nov 2014



"Residual value is important for automakers and consumers because it's a complete indicator of the vehicle's future value." - Larry Dominique
