Up for auction is this 1980 FJ40 in excellent, all original, untampered-with condition. It is getting rare to find all original FJ40s for sale that haven't been modified or restored (poorly in many cases) This 40 is a true survivor and you wont find another one like it easily. It is in amazing condition.

This 40 is almost rust free. FJ40s were always prone to rust, but the later the model year, the rustier they usually are. In 1979, Toyota changed the body of the FJ40 to relocate the gas tank to under the vehicle instead of under the passenger seat. These later 40s are some of the most desirable, yet are very very hard to find in restorable condition because of body and frame rust. It is very common on an FJ40 of this era to have to replace the inner fender wells, quarter panels, rockers, floor boards, ambulance door bottoms, driver and passenger door bottoms, windshield frame, front bib, fenders, and more with new panels. This FJ40 needs NONE OF THOSE PANELS replaced. I have included pictures of all of the commonly rusted areas to show how little rust there is. The worst rust is on the rear sill, and there is some surface rust here and there on the body. The paint is all original with no body work to hide flawed areas. The stripes are dealer added. Other than the rust I've mentioned, there is no significant body damage anywhere on the vehicle.

Mechanically this FJ40 is in excellent condition. It has had no mechanical alterations. With only 114,000 miles, to start it and drive it is what I'd like to think is as close to driving a new one as possible. It starts up and runs great. The entire drivetrain is tight and in excellent condition. This 40 also has rare factory power steering. The tires are almost new BFG muds.

There aren't many negatives with this FJ40, but the 2 worst are that someone added a sunroof at some point, and that the headliner is falling down. Another is that the factory front bumper has been removed. I can assist in locating an OEM one for the buyer if you like.

I've taken lots of pictures and they speak to the condition of the 40. There are no surprises and I'm confident that the buyer will be more than satisfied with it in person. The Land Cruiser is at my place in Colorado. I will be glad to help arrange shipping for the buyer if necessary.

Feel free to email with any questions. This Land Cruiser is an investment that, with the proper care, will continue to gain in value. I am not interested in any trades or lowering the price below the opening bid. Please don't ask.

Toyota FV2 Concept is a single-seat mood ring for the road

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Of all the vehicles Toyota brought to the Tokyo Motor Show, the FV2 might be the most creative. The minimalist single-seat concept is a glimpse at Toyota's idea of a "fun to drive" vehicle in the future.
The FV2 is essentially a pod with a diamond-shaped wheel array (what powers said wheels has not been disclosed), and Toyota says that the technology of the vehicle allows it to gauge the driver's mood and suggest possible destinations. The interaction between driver and vehicle is also displayed in an augmented reality screen on the windshield, and the car can also act as a mood ring of sorts with exterior colors and patterns that can change based on the driver's mood. We can just see it now: "Don't mess with Jim today, his car is red."
Scroll down for a brief press release on the FV2.

Redesigned 2014 Toyota Tundra spied testing in Canada

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

When Toyota first announced that it would be bringing the 2014 Tundra pickup to next month's Chicago Auto Show, we weren't quite sure if the truck would fall into the "all-new" or "refreshed" category. After seeing this latest set of spy shots, we're striking "all-new" from the record, but the enhancements do appear to be more than just a simple nip/tuck.
While the overall shape and greenhouse haven't really changed, heavy cladding found on the front fascia suggests that a totally redesigned nose is in store, with a fully reworked grille flanked by new headlamps. Smaller styling details are hidden by the big panels of camouflage, but we anticipate a few minor tweaks to the rest of the pickup's design when all that black tape finally comes off.
Mum's the word on powertrain enhancements (if any), as well as any changes that have been made to the chassis. But with the updated 2013 Ram 1500 already on the street, the recent unveiling of the updated 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, and a preview of what's to come from the likes of Ford, we certainly hope Toyota has injected enough new blood into its 2014 model year pickup to keep it competitive in this American-dominated segment. We'll know for sure come Chicago.

Toyota officially outsells GM, VW through first three quarters

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

When it comes to global vehicle deliveries, the term "Big Three" doesn't apply to Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, but instead Toyota, GM and Volkswagen - in that order - through the third quarter of 2013. Toyota sold 7.41-million vehicles through the third quarter and is on track to deliver more vehicles this year than GM and VW, which sold 7.25-million and 7.03-million, respectively, through the same period, Bloomberg reports.
During the third quarter, from July to September, Toyota's 2.5-million deliveries helped to push it higher than its closest competitors this year. In that period, GM delivered 2.4-million vehicles while VW posted 2.33-million deliveries.
Part of the reason behind Toyota's and other Japanese automakers resurgence globally is the weakened yen, which can be attributed to policies made by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe since he took office in December 2012. Many refer to those monetary easing policies as 'Abenomics,' which has led some, such as Ford, to call Japan a currency manipulator and is a big reason why the US is lobbying to oppose Japan's entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
