Selling my Baby with no reserve, high bid takes it unless it sells locally first. I'm loosing my garage storage and want to pass onto someone who can get out and wheel her. This FJ is a beast, but was my daily driver for 2 years. Built 396 Chevy Big Block mated with what I believe to be the prefect manual tranny for an FJ40, the 5speed H55F. Just the uninstalled transmission would set you back well over 3K.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First the bad: basically just some minor body stuff. Has some minor bondo on both fenders (previous owner), little bit on the front of the hood and I think a bit under the gunmetal on the quarters(haven't ever pulled it off or looked to closely, but no one really puts on Gunmetal on an FJ40 if not addressing Cancer). Additionally the body is rattlecan black, over the legacy rattle can camo (PO) which is over the stock forest green after a little sand down. Basically the rig is fully built mechanically and doesn't need anything further on that aspect. It's meant to be driven and not a trailer queen, but that said it has a respectable body,72 had good thick steel, hardtop in good condition save for less than perfect seals on the back windows, and hard half doors and full doors (not yet painted to match). I can get pictures or answer questions. Additionally there is one mechanical issue that I drove on but will need addressing, the Ebrake is hydraulic and I believe a valve is sticking as at low speeds when your hard on the brakes the Ebrake has been wanting to stay on, cheap fix but don't have the time.. Below is an incomplete parts list. Truck has been stored in a garage for 3 years, was run every month for the first two, and has since been drained and sitting for the last year. I've relocated to the Midwest, and this won't get used to its full potential out there. Will probably need a quick carb clean and calibration, I had it fired up last Christmas, but the batteries were having some issues turning it over, and after sitting in storage for 3 years (last year without exercising it every month or two) it likely will need new batteries (dual setup).

Scion FR-S Convertible (in Toyota GT86 form) spied in South Africa

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

Though the eventual existence of a convertible version of the Toyota GT86 (and its Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ versions for America) is a no-brainer, we've yet to get a glimpse of the real-deal car until now.
Spotted in Cape Town, South Africa, of all places, this completely undisguised GT86 convertible seems to be in a remarkably advanced state of development. The image seen here was obviously sniped from quite a distance and without the aid of a powerful lens, but we can still make out a production-ready looking piece of rear bodywork for the convertible top to hide away in, as well as a functioning trunk lid. It's hard to make out with any certainty, based on this evidence, but there does seem to be space retained behind the front seats for two, small rear chairs.
With the first car spotted, we'd expect to seem some more and better images of it flow through in the near future, and if not, Toyota has already confirmed a concept version for next month's Geneva Motor Show, dubbed FT-86 Open, so stay tuned. For now, click through to the FT86Club.com forum to have a slightly closer look at the images.

Toyota previews new C-HR crossover concept bound for Paris

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

We're now just a few weeks away from the start of the Paris Motor Show, and when the doors open at the Porte de Versailles, Toyota will be among the many automakers with new wares to show - including the new concept car pictured in this latest teaser image.
Called the C-HR, the concept is designed to represent an "innovative vision for a compact crossover model", incorporating "a new design language with an engaging driving experience and a hybrid powertrain." The Japanese industrial giant isn't saying much else, but the C-HR is set to debut alongside the finalized exterior design for its upcoming new fuel cell sedan.
Toyota, of course, became a pioneer in the compact crossover segment when it introduced the first-generation RAV4 way back in 1994. If the silhouette is anything to go by, however, the C-HR concept appears to adopt a far more streamlined form. Watch this space for more.
