This is a 1972 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER FJ 40 with a 1F engine and 3spd transmission. This is a one owner that was bought by an older guy in wyoming where it remained for most of its life to use as a hunting rig and the occasional drive around rig. Then the guy passed away and his son brought it back to Indiana where i was able to purchase the cruiser. It only has 17K miles on it which I believe to be accurate due to the overall condition of the cruiser. Which is also why its not rusted out as most cruiser of this vintage are. Its very solid with only minor rust on the rear sill and on each rear corner. The small section on the drivers side floor is rusted due to a mat being on the floor the passenger side floor is very solid with only surface rust. The bib, fenders, windshield frame and tub are all solid solid. Even the rear floor and the side fender boxes are solid. The quarters are really solid and still retain the original fender well with the original lip...most get rusted out or cut out. The bottoms of all the doors are solid even the barn doors....all original glass with no cracks or breaks. This is the one you want for a daily driver..."with some work" or a pretty easy restoration project. We all know how hard it is to find an original untouched landcruiser that still has all the hard to find parts. This one still has the original front seat configuration with the original tool box under the drivers side seat....very cool...WOW!! Even has the original rear jump seats that are very very hard to find that are in excellent condition....I even have the original TEQ bottle jack and handle.....The bonus with this cruiser is at some point the guy bought and original soft top with all original bows, soft doors and a drop down tailgate....but I dont think it was ever used because I dont think the hardtop has ever been off this cruiser. The original soft top stuff is just about impossible to find any more....This cruiser has everything going for it in a cruiser...1 owner The original guy....for most of it and then me....original untouched condition with all the hard to find parts and in way above average condition for its age...... ORIGINAL UNTOUCHED CONDITION !!!!!!
The winning bidder will also have a chance to purchase at an additional cost a 1978 2F engine transmission and transfer case. As well as a Disc brake front axle. If your wanting to upgrade.....
If you have any questions feel free to ask I have described this cruiser as best I can and have showed plenty of pictures to show condition If you need pics of anything let me know . Thanks for looking.

Toyota close to licensing deal with BMW for fuel cell technology
Wed, 23 Jan 2013For over a year now, we've been hearing about a potential partnership between Toyota and BMW on everything from sports cars to lithium-ion batteries, but one of the first cooperative projects between these two automakers could bring Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology to a BMW vehicle. Reuters is reporting that an announcement is likely to be made as soon as later this week regarding a BMW fuel cell vehicle that could be in production by 2020 with a prototype running around by 2015.
The last we heard of Toyota's fuel cell technology, it was in the FCV-R Concept that we saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, but there is no word how far along in development this system is. If it does come to fruition, such a vehicle for BMW would build on the automaker's commitment to hydrogen that started with the Hydrogen 7, which unlike a fuel cell vehicle, simply ran on hydrogen fuel rather than converting it to electricity for use in motors. We're definitely interested where this Toyota/BMW tie up could be headed.
Toyota settles complaints with states Attorneys General for $29 million
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Toyota announced today that it has reached a settlement with the Attorneys General of 29 states and one US territory that will resolve their complaints relating to recalls performed by the automaker from 2005-2010, including those related to sticky accelerators and malfunctioning floor mats that may have contributed to cases of unintended acceleration.
The settlement includes a payout of $29 million to be divided among the states and US territory, as well as a commitment from Toyota "to take steps to make vehicle information more easily accessible to consumers to help them operate their vehicles safely and make more informed choices." The settlement also has Toyota continuing its rapid-response service teams and quality field offices that were put in place shortly after the largest of the recalls from 2010, as well as a "range of customer care amenities for owners of vehicles subject to certain recalls," though the press release below isn't specific about what those amenities might be.
This settlement marks the second major step in the last few months that Toyota has taken to settle legal disputes surrounding the unintended acceleration recalls, the first being a $1.4 billion settlement to address economic loss suffered by owners of current and past Toyota vehicles that may have lost value on account of these recalls.
Toyota Harrier gets a whale of a facelift [w/video]
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Historically, the Toyota Harrier has been a doppelgänger for North America's Lexus RX - at some points, it was little more than a badge-swap and a few options away, at least aesthetically. That appears to be changing with this just-revealed new generation at the Tokyo Motor Show.
That's because this two-row, five-seat Toyota is in possession of a bold new look, dominated by a jutting, baleen-like grille edged in chrome, along with new headlamps and fascia. The greenhouse has likewise been revamped and gotten more pointed at the rump, which has new taillights, a resurfaced tailgate and a faux rear diffuser. Were it to be ported over to North American Lexus dealers intact, the Harrier's look would be jarring in light of the brand's spindle-grille-based design language, so we suspect that if the RX gets any of these updates (it was just refreshed for 2013), it will strike out on a different path visually.
Unlike the US RX, the new Harrier will rely on smaller-displacement four-cylinder engines, namely a 2.0-liter paired with a continuously variable transmission or a 2.5-liter four backed up by an electric motor. We'd like to see a smaller-displacement option for the US RX (it presently runs with 3.5-liter V6 engines in both gas-only and hybrid guise), but suspect it won't arrive until the next all-new model.
