1980 – Pac Man is introduced. CNN becomes the first 24hrs News Station. Post-It Notes are invented. Meanwhile, Toyota Motors introduced its best Land Cruiser yet. For a half-century, over a million Land Cruisers have traversed paths from the South Pole to the Sahara. What are you waiting for?

The best word to describe this 1980 Mustard Yellow FJ40 is definitely "ORIGINAL". I can't tell you about the restoration because there hasn't been any restoration. You're bidding on a Beautiful, One Owner, Numbers Matching, Original, Documented 1980 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser with 35K original miles. It has Power Steering AND Air Conditioning which makes this a pretty darn rare and sought after Land Cruiser.

Original paint, frame, body 2F Motor, 4-Speed Transmission, factory-original AM radio, interior, gauges, seats, doors, door panels, glass, fenders, floors, tub, hood, top, bumpers, etc. This rust-free FJ40, looks, runs and drives excellent, never repainted, never restored, always cared for, garaged and maintained. EVERYTHING is in good working order. The original wheels were swapped for white spokes but we have the original wheels and two of the original tires.

Motor

Pop this venerable FJ's hood and you'll find an original 135 horsepower 2F six cylinder which looks and runs great! Based on General Motor's stalwart Stovebolt Six, Toyota's famous overhead valve mill has certainly proven its ability to get this compact 4x4 out of many tight situations and tow just about any moderately sized toy its owners can imagine. The owner swapped the carburetor for a Holley carb but we have the original carb. She comes with headers but we have the original exhaust manifold too.

Body / Drivetrain / Suspension

With only 35,000 miles on vehicle, it's not surprising that the body is in excellent condition and the original Mustard Yellow paint still shines. The truck received professional rust proofing when new and that explains the fantastic condition. The fender flares are attached from under the wheel wells and can be easily removed. The suspension is stock and original. as is the drive-train. This FJ40 has factory Power Steering which makes it effortless to drive and the tall 3:70 gear ratio provides more top end speed.

This old school SUV offers four wheel drive and enough ground clearance to get over obstacles. The truck's original 4-speed manual transmission serves up an awesome combination of off-roading prowess. Front disc and rear drum brake combination will bring all you to a quick and uneventful stop.

This Toyota's suspension consists of rugged solid axles and leaf springs, shackels and coil over shock absorbers at both ends. At the back of the truck's frame you will find bumperettes flanking a hitch for light towing. Under it all you will find 15 inch white spokes with new 31x10.5 R15LT and Warn hubs.

Summary

Other than described, this is an unmolested, factory-original FJ40, with very few flaws, in remarkable condition for its age. The bottom of this clean Toyota is exactly what you should expect from a lightly used original, you will find a dusting of dirt on the frame. While this Land Cruiser is exceptionally nice, it's not something you should be afraid to get dirty.

Inside this iconic Land Cruiser you'll find a spacious and comfortable driving environment that has enough room to be your vehicle of choice for weekend adventures. The firm front, and folding opposing rear seat are wrapped in high quality OEM vinyl covers. Heavy duty OEM rubber floor mats in front and back. In front of the driver, a perfect dash pad, clear gauges and controls for the truck's accessories. Between the front passengers, two simple black shifters, one for the 4-speed transmission and one for the four-wheel drive system. The space between the front seats you will find the OEM center console. Connecting the driver to the road is a factory issue steering wheel which spins around the vintage "Toyota" emblem. The sale of this FJ40 includes the factory tool kit, jack, jack rods, touch up paint cans and owners manual. There are no dents, dings or damage to the body and no rust. The interior is flawless as well. The color is the original Toyota Mustard Yellow (paint code 532).

The 2F engine is strong and smooth and runs excellent. The body and frame are free of rust. The floors are all solid, rust free and clean! All turn signals, lights, wipers, washers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers and all gauges work perfectly.

This is one very cool SUV that's still every bit as functional today as it was in when it drove off the showroom floor. It's very tight, rattle free and is quite and capable. It's the kind of cool piece that would be right at home parked at your favorite Friday night dive next to other vintage cars, or perched on a mountain conquering your latest Saturday afternoon adventure. If you're looking for a cool classic that's fun, unique and ready to hit the road, this is it! A super nice, original Land Cruiser that you will instantly fall in love with once you're behind the wheel. I encourage you to call (515) 864-1275 with any questions and thanks for looking!

Subaru Indiana plant to stop building Toyota Camry

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Subaru may be set to end production of the Toyota Camry at its Lafayette, IN facility by 2017, according to a report from the Louisville Journal-Courier and a CBS affiliate in Columbia, South Carolina. Speaking to the plant's Executive Vice President Tom Easterday, the whole affair sounds like a done deal.
"Based on changes in Toyota's production plans, they have decided that the award-winning Camry production contract will not be renewed," Easterday said. Easterday was quick to emphasize that just because Camry production would end, doesn't mean jobs will be lost. "There will be no loss of jobs at SIA as a result of this," he said, before adding that the loss of Camry production will have no impact Subaru's $400 million investment to ready the plant for Impreza production in 2016. That said, adding a promised 900 jobs may take longer than originally planned, as Camry production staff are set to be retrained on Subaru production.
SIA currently has the capacity to produce 100,000 Camrys per year, and began production of the family sedan in 2007 alongside production of the Subaru Outback, Legacy and eventually, the soon-to-be-discontinued Tribeca.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.
