ICONTOYS will become ICON40 in coming months. Most of you know, all I recycle are the 40's. I hope all my followers will take note, and follow my Land Cruiser restorations, collection, photographs and sales to ICON40 in the future. I will maintain and sell from ICONTOYS, but will phase out this ID in the future.

I would also like to mention that ICONTOYS/ICON40 could potentially be FOR SALE and SOLD to the right individual. For details, please contact me after the auction has concluded. This would include the shop, quality paint and body professionals and name, including quality inventory.

Please check out my Photographs of all of the great 40's I have restored and owned. A couple of different photo choices are available for $49 online here at eBay.com. The photos are super large 20X30 professional stock and on quality paper. Shipped to your door.

I have several very nice Land Cruiser's that will be sold later this spring. I do not ever bring in South American 40's (no heater or roll bar in those rigs and I see a lot of them on eBay these days ) as most have been beaten and abused and then restored to "look" otherwise. I patiently wait for the best 40's that come onto the market, here in the USA. The really nice ones are few and far between and thus the higher and higher prices. These are the best you will find anywhere.

My intention this week is to list the group for sale as a "unit" with a buy now price for all vehicles. Each are legally owned by me, they are registered and titled in my name with no liens or issues. All paperwork is complete.

Yes, I would, and will most likely sell these Land Cruisers individually.

I can help arrange transport, load, and take a photo for you of the Toyota on the transport truck.

During this auction, I will answer telephone calls only, and only after the auction has ended.

Here is a list of what you see in photographs. The last several photos are of "photographs" of 40's I have owned. They are for sale as well for $49ea. And have been "altered"

1983 BJ42 Freeborn Red 70,000 original miles, 5 speed trans, 3B Diesel engine, 29 mpg. Complete frame-off, down to bare metal. All body soft parts, weather stripping, nuts/bolts, emblems, window channels, floor mats, seat covers, etc are new. Everything on the BJ42 except engine items are new. The gas engine 70k original miles and runs like new. OME suspension.

1983 FJ40 Beige with factory Decal kit reproduced. AC/PS full frame-off in progress. 47,000 original miles, one of a handfull of '83's available. Completion May 1 (photo is of another FJ40 that IS NOT the actual FJ I own. My '83 looks exactly like this body with stock with factory oval rims).

1964 FJ45 Pickup V9 Conversion, ICON maintained and services. Flawless in-stock Lily White/Gray. Perfect FJ45.

1976 FJ40 Dune Beige, V8 Conversion. 4 Speed with Gear Splitter. (Better than a 5 speed). Best hwy driving FJ40 you will ever own. OME Suspension.

1982 FJ40 Beige, 107,000 original miles. Frame-off, beautiful '82 that runs and drives like new.

As mentioned, I will take telephone calls only, and only after the auction is complete. Serious buyers only please. Thank you.

I understand the hardest part of buying something as expensive as one of these "toys" over the phone or Internet is that most buyers do not know me. I will be glad to offer a few key references before you do anything. Also, a couple of emails from previous buyers below.

Thanks again for understanding that this is a marketing campaign for people who are seeking out the best of the best Toyota Land Cruisers for this up coming spring/summer.

For those of you that I have talked to and had conversations with, specifically regarding the '83 Freeborn Red Diesel. I know you are interested, and will contact you if a deposit is needed to hold the BJ.

Please phone me after auction at 406.224.8893. Thanks, and happy bidding,

Pete

A couple of Past buyer emails:

Dear Peter, The Fj40 arrived last Wednesday night and was more than promised! I am delighted, it' a step back in a time capsule to the year before I got married. I really have to admit, I had some trepidation to invest what I did and then wire a large amount of money to a bank account in Montana, sight unseen, but all my fears were unnecessary, because all was carried out as promised by you. You were honest and professional, and I feel like I now have a "friend" in Montana! I also appreciated the way you followed up after the sale with me to make sure you answered any questions and that I was satisfied. I am glad to give you a strong and well deserved recommendation. All the best, Jose P.

I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put into getting me my FJ40 on time. I can honestly say that, at the beginning of the process, I was a little nervous making such a large purchase over the Internet and through phone calls. In the end, it turned out great and I love my new truck. I really appreciate all of the communication through the build; the email, the phone calls and the pictures. It not only made things easy to schedule, it gave me a real sense for the quality you build into your restorations. I am also impressed with all of the documentation you provided in that it made crossing the border and registering the vehicle hassle free; well, as hassle free as that process can get. Please feel free to use me as a reference for future clients.

The last 7 photographs are "photographs for sale" not the rigs....they now belong to new owners.

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Toyota Mirai rated at 67 mpge, 312-mile range The Environmental Protection Agency gave the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric car a 67-miles-per-gallon-equivalent rating.

Both come with three years or $15,000 worth of free fuel. Toyota plans to expand sales to the Northeast United States later.

2015 Toyota Yaris

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Advertising firms have done an admirable job convincing consumers that the easiest way to find a best-in-segment car or truck is by looking at a few key metrics. In the most elementary terms, the vehicle with the highest horsepower, most gears in its transmission housing, lowest acceleration times and best fuel economy most certainly must be the class benchmark.
Yet as the commercials and billboards continue to drive that deceitful message, Toyota is betting shoppers in the subcompact segment are a bit more discerning. The Japanese automaker has just launched its updated 2015 Yaris, a three- and five-door offering that bucks the innovation and performance trends by offering what Toyota feels that entry-level buyers actually desire - reliability, practicality and a low sticker price.
It's sweltering in the tropical Hawaiian sun as I check out the deeply refreshed 2015 Yaris SE. This five-door hatchback, a range-topping version of the company's subcompact "sporty hatch" (Toyota's words, not mine), builds on the new-in-2012 generation by wearing new front and rear fascias, redesigned headlights and some attractive new wheels for the upcoming model year.
