Toyota Land Cruiser Landcruiser Fj40 Restored Gm Ramjet Arb Rockcrawler on 2040-cars

I am helping an old customer / friend sell his Land Cruiser collection. This is his 1972 FJ40 Custom Restoration. The restoration was professionally done a number of years ago and the cruiser has only been driven a few miles a year for the last few years.
This cruiser is a good value for the person wanting a great, professionally built, custom FJ40 with almost every feature. Having a cruiser built like this at any shop now would cost 60K-80K plus. Read below about the features and the condition and then email with any questions. I have the cruiser at my house so I can take any additional pictures upon request. I know the risks of buying a vehicle on eBay so I want to be completely up front about the condition of the rig and provide answers to all of your questions so there will be no surprises. Please keep in mind that a winning bid on eBay is a contract to buy, not just the right to come look at the vehicle and decide if you want to buy it. I am requiring a $1000 non refundable deposit within 24hrs of the end of the auction, so please only bid if you've communicated with me, and you are a serious buyer. I will consider adding a buy it now price if you are a serious buyer. Features:
Condition: With this few of miles after the restoration, this Land Cruiser is still in very good shape. After driving it about 70 miles to my house from the warehouse where it was stored for the last 7 years, I did notice a few cosmetic blemishes. There is a small crack in the bodywork on the rear quarter panel, and the passenger door has rubbed on the windshield frame where the top pulled it back too far. There is a dent in the body by the passenger side front fender. The undercarriage is still in freshly restored condition and looks great. The frame was powder coated during the resto. The underside of the body is coated in the same liner as the inside and firewall. Mechanically the vehicle is still in excellent condition. There are only 655 miles on it since everything was replaced, renewed, or inspected. There was a few drops of ATF under the torque convertor which may indicate a leaky front tranny seal, possibly from sitting. The transmission fluid is still at the correct level and the vehicle ran, shifted, and drove very well during my 70 mile trip home. I was disappointed at the stiffness of the ride and blame the shocks. SOA suspensions like this are traditionally known for providing a soft ride. I recommend switching to bilstein 5125 series shocks, which will provide a much better ride, plus they look better. Please contact me with any questions and I will answer them as soon as possible. Thanks |

VW targeting 10M sales in 2014
Sun, 16 Mar 2014Volkswagen Group believes it can sell over 10 million vehicles in 2014, with hopes of overtaking Toyota as the world's largest automaker in the process. If VW can do it, it would meet that goal four years earlier than planned. Of course, Toyota isn't sitting still - it also hopes to top the 10 million-car threshold this year and has the advantage of already holding the top spot.
"With rising volume and new models, we will increasingly see positive earnings effects as well," said VW Group CEO Martin Winterkorn during its annual press conference, according to Automotive News. The company is spending huge amounts of money to propel it to the top, investing 84.2 billion euros ($117 billion) through 2018, and according to AN it plans to introduce over 100 new models worldwide among all of its brands by the end of next year.
The German automaker may get an extra boost as the European car industry shows signs of emerging from its yearlong stagnation and China continues to grow. In January, VW Group was up 8.5 percent in Europe and 15.5 percent in China, according to its own figures. However, the US has been slowing with Volkswagen brand sales down 19.04 percent in January and down 13.81 percent in February.
Toyota and Lexus recalling 235,000 hybrid CUVs and sedans over separate issues
Wed, 04 Sep 2013When it rains, it pours. Toyota has announced a pair of separate but voluntary North America recalls covering approximately 235,000 vehicles built between 2006 and 2011. The larger of the two recalls targets Toyota's hybridized crossovers, the Lexus RX400h and Toyota Highlander Hybrid. 133,000 units, including 2006-2010 Highlander and 2006-2008 RX crossovers are covered in the campaign. The other recall affects 102,000 IS350 sedans, IS350C convertibles and GS350 sedans built between 2006 and 2011.
With the CUVs, the faults in the parallel circuits of the transistors can cause heat damage in the inverter assembly, triggering an abundance of warning lamps and sending the vehicle into limp mode. The Lexus sedans are being recalled due to loose bolts on the variable valve timing controller. Detected by unusual underhood sounds on startup, the issue can cause the engine to stop while driving. The inverter issue is also triggering similar recalls in Japan and Europe.
At the moment, it's unclear if any of these issues have caused any crashes or injuries. Toyota says it plans to notify owners of the recall via snail mail. Additional information for owners can be found on the recall sites for Toyota and Lexus or by calling Toyota's customer service line, at 1-800-331-4331.

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.
