Rare Toyota Landcruiser Fj40 Fj 40 Land Cruiser 1978 Original Barn 4wd Find on 2040-cars
Amelia, Ohio, United States
|
This 1978 FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser is as stock as I'm able to keep it
with 94k original miles. I bought it off the previous owner who owned
this TLC for about 30 years. It spent much of its life in Utah where
climate is dry. It has never been used for rock-crawling.
The emission system has not been tampered with and is all original. Mileage shown is believed to be actual as the odometer has never been inoperative during the time-period of our ownership, but mileage may increase from that pictured. The original owner's manual, jack, and tire tools and their pouch are included. All mechanical and electrical items function including lights, horn, wipers, radio, turn signals, window cranks, door latches and locks. I have the original keys for doors, ignition, gas cap door and rear door. Repairs, which have been rare, are made using original Toyota parts and generally accomplished by a Toyota dealership. It has manually locking front hubs. The transfer case has high and low speeds, and the 4-speed transmission easily up-shifts and down-shifts. We have never used it for towing but does have a hitch. It is extremely reliable and has never let us down a single time. It has the original 6-cylinder engine and boosted disc brakes. It has no power accessories, air conditioning, cruise control, sound insulation, etc. It has a rear-seat area heater. The paint is original except for professionally repaired and painted rust spots on the front fenders, rear quarter panels and beneath the rear door. Some small rust spots appear on the inside right rear fender, where steps join the body and on hood latches. The pan and frame show very little rust considering the vehicle's age, but springs, hubs and shackle area do show surface rust. The skid plates show no sign of ever being in contact with hard objects. No rust is seen that affects structural integrity. It has never been in an accident. An inch-long crack is in the vinyl dash. A CB antenna is installed on the rear. Rear speakers are installed but are low-tech by today's standards. Original vinyl seat covers are on the seats. The tires are brand new BF Goodrich that were $200 each. I also just installed brand new Bilstein shocks. There is no leaks on anything on this cruiser. It starts when cold with half-choke; it idles nicely and doesn't hesitate when accelerating. I just put a new clutch and water pump within the last month. The vehicle is kept garaged but is 34-years old and has expected age-related minor flaws, all of which are not listed here. This vehicle has no warranty and is being sold "as-is." |

eBay Find of the Day: Back To The Future Marty McFly 1985 Toyota SR5 pickup tribute
Mon, 05 Aug 2013With DeLorean time machine replicas thick on the ground, it was only a matter of time before someone started recreating the other vehicles in the McFly garage. At the end of the first Back to the Future movie, Marty returns to 1985 to find his sweet-looking Toyota SR5 truck all waxed and ready for his date. That truck always did look great in the movie, and now's your chance to own this close facsimile.
This Back to the Future replica Toyota is on eBay with a price of $14,500, which the seller claims is half of what's been invested. Perhaps that's true, but it's still a nearly 30-year-old truck that's covered 280,000 miles. The seller does say the 22RE engine has been recently rebuilt, along with the rest of the drivetrain, and there's new paint, too. The attention to detail is admirable, and if you've always admired Marty's '80s-chic 4x4, now's your chance to own it.
How Toyota's neighbor delayed 23,000 of its deliveries
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Don't you just hate when your neighbors' mess becomes your problem? Toyota certainly has good reason to be upset, after an dirty mishap at a steel mill delayed thousands of vehicle exports from its nearby port in Nagoya, Japan, (pictured above) by as much as a month.
The messy situation occurred on June 22 when the mill near the port lost power and had to burn off an excess buildup of coke oven gas - which isn't exactly a situation friendly to living beings or the environment. According to Automotive News, it caused a massive amount of smoke to emit from the plant that fell as soot and tar on about 23,000 vehicles that were waiting to be shipped out. Getting the models properly cleaned off has been quite a task. A team of 5,000 workers were at the port until this week getting them gleaming again.
Potential Toyota buyers in North America have no need to fret about getting a sullied car, though. A Toyota spokesperson told Automotive News that none of the vehicles were bound for this continent. The automaker is reportedly considering asking the mill's owners for reimbursement for the cost of the weeks of cleanup. Paying for the mistake is, after all, the neighborly thing to do.
2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
Thu, 23 Oct 2014Despite the earnest efforts of Japanese automakers like Toyota and Nissan, the American pickup truck scene remains wholly dominated by the likes of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. This is not news. Part of the reason is because of the sheer number of variants offered by US automakers - everything from work-spec base trucks to house-leveling heavy duty models can be had, with a seemingly endless combination of engines, cab sizes, bed lengths and trim levels. It's a hugely profitable business, and though the Japanese automakers still offer competitive fullsize trucks, in terms of sheer volume, they simply don't compete.
But American pickups aren't just about work; there's a huge play aspect involved, too. Look at the desert-storming Ford F-150 SVT Raptor or the Ram Power Wagon - these butch trucks are built with superb off-road prowess in mind, and Detroit's Japanese rivals have once again largely been silent in this segment. Until now.
Introduced at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, Toyota now offers the TRD Pro series of models that, in addition to the crazy-orange Tundra seen here, includes the smaller Tacoma pickup and 4Runner SUV. And this isn't just some pretty appearance package, either - there's honest-to-goodness capability baked into all of the TRD Pro models. Intriguing, for sure, so I recently spent a weekend with the big boy Tundra to see what's what.
