OFFERED FOR AUCTION - RESERVE BELOW VALUE 1982 TOYOTA FJ40 LAND CRUISER OWNER ACQUIRED 5 YEARS AGO AND HAS BEEN RESTORING IT SINCE THEN. HE TOLD ME ALL IT NEEDS TO FINISH IS A DASH BOARD AND THE 2 VENTS THAT GO OVER THE DASH BOARD. THIS FJ40 HAS BEEN SPOILED IN ITS RESTORATION. THE OWNER SPARED NO EXPENSE, MAKING SURE ALL REPLACED PARTS WERE ORIGINAL OR CORRECT NEW REPLACEMENTS. HE EVEN HAD SOME OF THE TRIM CHROMED AT A LOCAL SHOP. IT WAS PRETTY MUCH COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS. TOP TO BOTTOM, FRONT TO REAR. I THINK I WILL JUST ALLOW THE PICTURES TO SPEAK FOR THIS FINE VEHICLE. THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN DURING A MORNING OVERCAST. THE MUSTARD YELLOW FINISH IS IMPECABLE! THERE IS ALSO A PHOTO OF A FEW PHOTOS TAKEN DURING RESTORATION PROCESS. AMAZING DETAIL!

Toyota launches new Pixis Epoch kei car in Japan
Sat, 12 May 2012Kei cars may be small in size, but they're big business in Japan. The latest arrival to the category is the little hatch you see above, the Toyota Pixis Epoch.
It's the fourth vehicle produced by the Daihatsu division but sold under the Toyota brand. As with other keis, power comes from a 660cc engine. It's mated to a continuously variable transmission driving either just the front wheels or all four. In both configurations, the Pixis Epoch features a stop-start system that helps its emissions and fuel efficiency figures come in well below even the Japanese government's stringent standards.
The whole package measures just 3,395 mm (133 inches) long, 1,475 mm (58 inches) wide and 1,500 mm (59 inches) tall, but offers a relatively spacious and utile interior, plus a tight turning radius of just 4.4 meters. Pricing ranges from 795,000 to 1.2 million yen - that's less than $10,000 (and no more than $15k). Further details in the press release after the jump.
Toyota mulling more Tundra, Tacoma capacity in TX
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Toyota may be expanding its pickup truck production at its San Antonio, TX factory following calls from dealers for more Tacoma and Tundra models, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The San Antonio plant is currently able to produce 250,000 trucks on two shifts with overtime, while a secondary facility in Tijuana, Mexico can build an extra 50,000 Tacomas. Despite this capacity, and the fact that Tundra is a slow seller relative to the full-size trucks from Ford, Ram and Chevrolet/GMC (not to mention the Tacoma being part of a segment with diminishing sales), Toyota franchisees apparently can't get enough of the trucks.
"Dealers are telling us they could sell more Tacomas and Tundras," said Bill Fay, the general manager of the Toyota Division. "We are evaluating our footprint and capacity." According to AN, Toyota has moved over 248,000 trucks through November.
Scion xB death sentence uncertain, minor updates announced
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The last time we discussed the Scion xB and xD, in April of this year, it was to announce a report that both models were being killed. The vice president of the brand had said, "We don't have plans for a direct xB or xD replacement," but no date was given for the termination. Turns out rumors of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated: as part of a Toyota press release that summarized feature and pricing changes for 2013, the Scion xB was included.
The 2013 hatchback (above) gets a new front bumper and lower fascia with LED lighting, and the rear end gets a black diffuser. Stingray Metallic and Elusive Blue Metallic exterior hues will disappear, Absolutely Red and Nautical Blue Metallic will take their places. Inside will be light bronze metallic and chrome accents, as well as new seat fabric and the availability of the BeSpoke Premium Audio. It increases in price by $500, the manual costing $16,800, the automatic $17,750.
The xD (inset) has been left off the list and the Scion website it still hawking the 2012 car. But 2013 xD pricing and new features were announced earlier this year, the MSRP rising by $125 to $16,500. New equipment and options includes smoked headlight covers, more airbags and a two-tone paint job.
