1989 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj62 4x4 - All Records - No Rust on 2040-cars
Charleston, South Carolina, United States
Here is the rundown. My girlfriend has wanted a 60 series since she was a child, about a few months ago that dream was becoming a reality. We searched for 3 months before deciding on this 1989. We had it fully inspected at a Toyota Dealer and it came back with a clean report and pulled the trigger and had it shipped here. It was a Georgia car since brand new, garage kept, and has a ton of records that reach very far back. Fast forward and the girl that lusted realizes she cant handle not having leather, IFS, sunroof etc. 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 275,000+ documented miles, original paint, engine and trans. Completely Rust Free - Literally 0 rust. Work we have done: Basically a freshen up. - Valve Adjustment, air filter, PCV valve, spark plugs, oil change, front and rear diff fluid, transfer case fluid, drain and fill on trans with filter replacement and kickdown adjustment. Immaculate service records down to oil changes, and more going back to 1990. Original bill of sales from dealer, factory car phone install agreement and tons of others. Rear main seal, front knucles, timing covers, oil changes, brakes, alternator etc etc etc. Major work done in the past 30,000 - Front knuckles fully rebuilt via Toyota dealer ($1497) -Starter, radiator($396), brake pads, timing cover seal, and more Receipts in the file from just the past 25,000 miles total= $9300 Cosmetics: Super clean inside and out. We looked at over 10 of these before deciding "Big Red" was the one. The paint appears to be all original with no signs of any prior accidents. It is the original Toyota Freeborn Red single stage paint. Body is completely rust free, and has no bondo or any other bodywork. All lines are straight. Chrome is in great shape as well as all glass and gaskets. Interior is in great shape with no major stains, and no odors. Carpet is in good shape with new all weather floor mats. Headliner is in excellent shape. Factory roof rack has no hidden rust and is in excellent shape. Undercarriage is clean and rust free. Mechanics: This FJ is ready for that long road trip, or to go camping. Starts right up with no hesitation or drama. No smoke or choking. Accelerates perfectly, and shifts through all gears nicely, and the kickdown works under heavy accel. All electronics work, including all gauges and interior and exterior lights. Power locks, power windows, wipers all work perfect. Truck has cold A/C and hot heat. Truck never overheats or has any issues on long highway drives, or sitting in stop and go traffic at 101 degree temps (We sat in beach traffic this weekend for 45 minutes enjoying the A/C and stereo). Brakes are strong and true. Powersteering makes no groans, and does not leak. As mentioned above the truck will leave a drop of oil in a driveway if sitting, but never requires topping off, it is minimal. New tires with less than 5,000 miles. Truck is very much "turnkey" or drive it home ready. Summary: The good- Very clean inside and out, immaculate service records, shifts smooth, can go 70+mph The bad- A few dings here and there, typical 62 seat tear on drivers side but was quoted $120 to fix, will leave a dime size oil drop if sitting, left rear window is off track. (Car has been further detailed since pictured) We have more pictures and youtube videos of the truck driving and more available for serious buyers. We can assist buyer in shipping if they need. |

Toyota fires bullets into hydrogen fuel tanks, shoots down EV supporters
Thu, Jan 16 2014Many gearheads will remember that the 1970s-era Dodge Dart's claim to fame was that its motor was so durable (though not necessarily powerful) that one could shoot bullets into the engine block. Decades later, Toyota has taken a page out of that testing process. "Personally, I don't care what Elon [Musk] says about fuel cells." With some industry members and analysts questioning both the viability and durability of hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles, Toyota executive Bob Carter, speaking at the Automotive News World Congress this week, says the Japanese automaker went all Clint Eastwood on the fuel tanks of a fuel-cell prototype. Carter says that bullets from a small-caliber gun bounced off the carbon-fiber tanks, and that .50-caliber bullets barely made dents. The shoot-out motif kept going when Carter name-checked executives from Tesla, Nissan and Volkswagen in saying that he didn't care if other automakers question the future of fuel-cell vehicles. As you can see in the prepared text of Carter's speech below, he said, "Personally, I don't care what Elon [Musk], Carlos [Ghosn] or Jonathan [Browning] say about fuel cells. If they want to 'plug in and tune out' other technologies, that's fine." After debuting it in Tokyo late last year, Toyota showed off its FCV fuel-cell concept vehicle at the Detroit Auto Show this week as it get ready to start sales "around 2015." The car has a 300-mile range and should be priced somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000. Autoblog drove Toyota's fuel-cell prototypes last year, and you can read our impressions here. 2014 Automotive News World Congress- Bob Carter January 14, 2014 As prepared for: Automotive News World Congress Tuesday, January 14, 2014 Bob Carter, Senior Vice President, Automotive Operations, Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. _________________ Thanks, Keith and good afternoon everyone. You know, I've been in the car business for more than 30 years, but I'm more excited about it now than EVER before Why? Because for the first time in Toyota's history, we did something here we've NEVER done before. We shocked people by unveiling two great looking, fun-to-drive cars that blow a hole in the theory that Toyota only builds "appliances". Just yesterday, we unveiled Toyota's newest concept, the FT-1 sports car. I'm already getting people asking me when they can get their hands on one. The FT-1 represents the latest in our heritage of sports cars like the 2000GT, Celica, Supra and most recently, the FR-S.
2014 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4x4
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The Toyota Tundra is the automotive version of off-brand Cheerios: it doesn't dominate the market, and it's not the first model people think of when they hear the term "pickup truck."
Ford, General Motors and Ram dominate the segment with vehicles that offer ridiculous levels of towing and payload capacities and models loaded with luxury items and primed with tech-rich engines. The off-brands, meanwhile, are led by the Tundra, which while still accounting for six-figure sales (112,732 units in 2013, up from 101,621 in 2012), sits well behind the F-150s and Silverados of the world. After our first drive of the revamped 2014 Tundra, we came away thinking this truck is a total underachiever, aimed at placating Toyota loyalists and doing little to win over new customers.
But everybody deserves a second chance, and we thought a week's drive in a different environment might lead to a different - or at least a more fully realized - opinion. While the Tundra might not be an industry leader, it still makes it on many truck buyers' shopping lists. So, should you consider this off-brand pickup truck? To find out, we borrowed a top-of-the-line Tundra Platinum for a week. Read on to see what we found.
DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
