1971 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40, Frame Off Resto, Original Metal, 4speed Upgrade on 2040-cars
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Available is a 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. It received a full frame off restoration a few years ago, and has only been driven a few hundred miles since. It is garage kept, and has no rust. During the frame off it received a full mechanical restoration including rebuilt engine with new clutch assembly, the original 3 speed was upgraded to a 4 speed from a '78 FJ. The carb, alternator, starter, all all rebuilt or NOS, the intake, water neck, air filter, and valve cover have been replated or polished. It has the optional rear heater (newly replumbed) and optional rear bumper. It has refurbished original steel wheels, new hubcaps, and new BFG A/T's 30x9.50x15. Also has original mirrors, seat belts and steering wheel.
Other new items include full exhaust, new steering, tie rods, springs, shocks, battery, hoses, belts, radiator, master and slave cylinders, ALL new brake lines, hoses, drums, fuel lines, gas tank, weather stripping . The axles, t'case, and transmission were all disassembled, clean and reinstalled. All body mounts are perfect, as is the rear doors, liftgate, and rear bed area below doors. The bottom of this FJ is as clean as the top. All the seats were removed cleaned repainted and reupholstered. The attention to detail is very impressive. I have a very realistic buy it now because I need to sell her to pay for other projects. You couldn't replicate this for what the but it now is. It does need side markers, lower dash pad, and speedo cable, that's it. The paint is good, but will need a little touch up below the gas cap from a careless overfill when the paint was fresh and under the pedal cluster from an accidental brake fluid leak. Sold as is where is with no warranty. Ask questions before you bid. I am selling locally and reserve the right to end the auction early. Call me if you have questions or want someone locally to inspect her. My cell is 615-948-7236, Chris. |

Scion trying to build business case for FR-S convertible as Subaru bows out
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Hope may remain for a convertible version of the Scion FR-S, according to a report from Ward's Auto. You'll recall that rumors were swirling about the feasibility of a rear-drive Toyobaru convertible as early as October, and that back in November, Subaru - which makes the FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 - essentially nixed the idea of an open-topped variant.
"We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen," brand chief Yasuyuki Yoshinaga told Automotive News, according to Ward's, at the Tokyo Motor Show. "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change."
Despite Yoshinaga-san's arguments against a droptop variant, Toyota is apparently still considering the model. Speaking to media at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, Scion's US vice president, Doug Murtha, hinted that the rear-drive droptop was in the works.
Toyota reaffirms commitment to body-on-frame SUVs
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Toyota sold 121,055 Highlander CUVs in 2012, according to Automotive News. By comparison, it sold 78,457 examples of four different body-on-frame, truck-based SUVs (4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Sequoia and Land Cruiser). One could argue then, that the traditional SUVs aren't pulling their weight from a sales perspective. Yet that isn't stopping Toyota from reaffirming its commitment to a segment that has seen its former champions - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler - abandon it with alarming speed. Ford and GM still offer body-on frame utilities, but only in the very largest offerings, catering to seven or even eight passengers. Everything outside of the Expedition or Tahoe rides now on a unibody.
Toyota's decision to stick with the technology is good news if you're in the market for smaller SUVs that are still capable of heading well off the beaten path. Outside of the Jeep Wrangler, Grand Cherokee (a unibody) and perhaps Nissan Xterra, there's not much in terms of capable SUVs between $20,000 and $50,000. As the Toyota brand's US head, Bill Fay, says, "Clearly, the trend has shifted, but there is still an owner base that is interested in these vehicles."
We don't doubt Fay on that, but it may also be somewhat telling that Toyota's SUV lineup is aging, and we haven't seen or heard much about replacement models in the pipeline. Admittedly, the 4Runner (pictured) has been facelifted for 2014, but it's mostly cosmetic in nature. Despite Toyota's posturing, we still expect its body-on-frame lineup to thin in the coming years as sales dwindle and escalating fuel-economy standards make business cases even tougher. Here's hoping that Toyota manages to keep at least one rough-and-tumble SUV in its lineup in the coming years.
Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.
