This beautiful Heath Grey 1974 FJ43 is sold to a client in Florida. Volcan 4x4, LLC is sourcing, restoring and exporting these rare and desirable trucks out of Colombia. We are taking orders for FJ43s in the $30,000 to $60,000 range.
We have sold a 1981 FJ43 and a 1974 FJ43 to date. We are working on our 9th truck since starting the business in early 2014. We have a 1982 FJ43 and a 1978 FJ43 in process. These are high end trucks that will likely go to the auctions. We are located in Tampa, Florida and also Medellin, Colombia where we contract with various Land Cruiser specialists to purchase and restore FJ43s. The best FJ43 models come from Colombia as they are Left Hand Drive and rust free. The FJ43 is a rare FJ model. It has a 5 inch longer wheelbase than the FJ40 and a few more inches along the rear tub. This gives the truck a superior ride than the FJ40 and a great stance. The FJ43s are typically 7 to 9 passengers also. All the mechanical parts are interchangeable with the FJ40. The FJ43s are rare in the US with auction prices for the top trucks approaching $80,000. Volcan 4x4, LLC can source you a pre-1979 FJ43 starting at $30,000. Volcan 4x4 is on its 9th truck since launching the business in early 2014 with our over $50,000 frame off 1983 FJ40 that was featured at Mecum Auctions in Orlando 2014. Owner Charlie Guy is a bilingual US citizen and purchases each truck in Colombia. I personally review each truck along with my mechanic and paint/body specialist. I typically look at 10 trucks for every truck that I purchase. I personally oversee all the restoration work with my subcontractors to ensure each truck reaches "Volcan 4x4" level of quality. Each truck typically undergoes a 30 day overhaul including thorough mechanical review, new tires, shocks, exhaust, new paint and interior. We take advantage of the high quality knowledgeable specialists in Colombia before we export the trucks. The trucks are unique in that the some may require more paint work for instance or others mechanical work. The end result for every truck however is a rare, rust free, high quality Volcan 4x4 classic truck that has been reviewed and overhauled recently by professional mechanics and paint/body work specialists. We are focusing now specifically on bringing in high quality frame on restored FJ43s. Why buy an FJ40 when you can buy a restored FJ43 that is more rare and more valuable in the US? This 1974 Heath Grey FJ43 is an example of the work we just completed. A client contacted us in early June with interest in a FJ43 in subdued color. She preferred the earlier models with the painted inside metal doors. We had a Colombian seller client in mind and very quickly went and purchased the truck once she sent Volcan 4x4, LLC a deposit to our Florida bank. We shipped the truck from Bogota to our shop in Medellin, Colombia and performed a 30 day overhaul including mechanical overview, extensive paint work, and new AC installation. Many upgrades included details such as preserving and repairing the 40 year old original seat vinyl and installing a dome light and new door gaskets. As of August 1st the truck is now in the Port of Miami awaiting shipment to Tampa, Florida. The client takes delivery of her one of a kind truck August 20th. You can find Volcan 4x4 on youtube, Facebook and our website. I have leads on several 1978 FJ43s with the 2F and 4 speed starting at $30,000. If you have been following the market for classic Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40s you know that they are increasing in value and gaining a lot of interest. What you may not know is that Colombia is becoming the source for classic FJ40s and even more so the ONLY source for rare FJ43s. Volcan 4x4, LLC is now working on its 4th FJ43 this year and we are quickly becoming THE source for these great trucks. Please contact us with interest in a Volcan 4x4. You could be driving a rare, restored FJ43 within a few months time. Thank you, Charlie Guy |

China's largest dealer body pushes back against foreign automakers over huge inventories
Mon, Jan 5 2015Do not think for a second that automakers forcing inventory on dealers in order to pad the numbers is a ruse known only in the US. Stories of individual brands have hinted at the trouble Chinese dealerships are having trying to move units as the country's economic growth remains hot but comes off the boil, like the one revealing that 95 percent of Toyota-FAW showrooms are losing money. Yet Toyota isn't the only culprit, and the issue has become so dire that the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), the largest dealer body in the country, has written to the government to complain. Chinese car sales are expected to close out the year with an annualized growth of six-percent, down from last year's 14 percent when targets were set, while in the background the pace of overall economic expansion is the slowest its been since the early nineties. Automakers, shipping cars on schedule to make their earlier targets, have blown up inventories such that they are an average of 1.8 times monthly sales, when the preferred multiplier is from 0.9 to 1.2. According to the CADA, the price wars and necessary incentives mean that only 30 percent of dealers are operating in the black. That number is down a whopping forty percent since 2010. In response, Toyota has already said it will not make its 2014 target of 1.1 million cars sold. We're a long way from 2012, when Toyota planned on selling 1.8 million cars in China in 2015, a target that's now as realistic as a manticore. BMW, Honda and Nissan have erased numbers on their spreadsheets, too; BMW growth dropped from 20 percent to 8 percent midyear after it began "reducing wholesale supplies," and Honda has been reworking its plans as sales have decreased each of the past six months. It's a big deal for Chinese dealers to begin protesting publicly, the CADA saying, "In the past, dealers were angry, but dared not speak out. But now, they have to shout because the situation is getting so unbearable." With six-percent growth forecast for next year and dealers unwilling to remain underwater, The Year of the Sheep coming in 2015 could portend meaning beyond the zodiac.

Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R is road-going version of brand's racing technology [w/video]
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Did you know that the Yaris is Toyota's best-selling vehicle in Europe? That may help explain to us Americans why the car that's lowest on the company's totem poll here in the US got turned into an all-wheel-drive hybrid track monster for the 2013 Frankfurt Monster Show.
Called the Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R, this three-door pocket rocket isn't just a hybrid making a lot of horsepower - it incorporates technology from Toyota's TS030 Hybrid racecar that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship series, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Yaris Hybrid-R packs a 300-horsepower, turbocharged, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood, which should be enough for most speed freaks, but Toyota pairs it with two 60-hp electric motors at each rear wheel (the same ones used in the production Yaris Hybrid that's sold in Europe). That makes total system output an insane-for-this-size 420 hybrid horsies.
But that's not all, as the Yaris Hybrid-R forgoes the traditional battery pack below the rear seats in favor of a supercapacitor, which can both hold more energy and has a much faster power charge/discharge speed than traditional batteries. Paired with the supercapacitor is a third 60-hp electric motor/generator positioned between the engine and six-speed sequential transmission. Its job is to feed the super capacitor energy during deceleration and direct its power to the rear electric motors when more grip and oomph is needed.
Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
