Very clean 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser with a Chevy 350c.i. V8 and a  NV4500 5 speed transmission which is adapted to the original Toyota transfer case.  This FJ40 has minimal rust and is equipped with a rare factory PTO winch. The engine swap was nicely done. Everything is correct from the exhaust to the motor mounts to the radiator (not a cobbled together hack job).  Truck has 107500 miles on the clock.  Runs, drives and stops excellent. The engine/trans swap was done a few years back and has proven reliable. The V8 and 5 speed trans allows this vehicle to be driven daily. It has the power to keep up with traffic in town and the 5th gear to keep up on the highway.

Truck spent its entire life in the town of Canon City in Colorado. It was used but not abused.  It is all original besides the engine swap and a rifle rack inside the drivers door. The original jack, tool bag, trouble light that plugs into the glove box, and owners manuals are still with the truck. I have the original sales receipt from Toyota Town Inc.

Drive Train

Chevy 350ci with an aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb and EFI. Engine runs strong and sounds healthy.  Dual Flowmaster exhaust sounds great. Transmission is the desirable and bullet proof NV4500 5 speed adapted to the original Toyota transfer case. Shifts great, clutch excellent. Truck stops well with power disc brakes. Axles are original with original gearing. PTO winch works but has not seen much use, so the clutch lever is a bit stiff and needs some lube and love. Truck does not leak oil on the driveway.

Body

Original paint with that weird FJ40 fade. Cool patina. Some rust but very minimal for a FJ40.  Floors are ridiculously clean and rust free and so are the doors. A few dings but over all pretty straight.  Windows go up and down good but regulators are a bit sticky. Con-Fer rail mount roof rack.

Interior

Seats are nice original material,  drivers seat has a small tear. Dash is clean but two Autometer gauges have been installed. They were installed neatly. Gauges work. Lights, signals, horn, wipers, heater controls work as they should. Headliner is gone. Rear heater is developing a leak (only when heat is on) and will need to be fixed eventually. I can bypass it if the winning bidder chooses to drive the FJ home.

Tires/Wheels

Wheels are original with original hub caps. Tires are near new 31x10.50  KM2 BF Goodrich mud terrains. They have a few hundred miles on them. The matching spare is still brand new.  

Overall a nice clean start to a restoration, or a very cool driver the way it is. The truck shows signs of use but not abuse. Whoever installed the V8 knew what they were doing and obviously cared about the end results. It is not  currently registered or insured, but if you are up for an adventure I believe you could fly out, throw your gear in the back, and drive it home. I can meet the buyer at the Colorado Springs airport with the truck.

Below is a link to 145 pictures. I believe I have covered every part of the vehicle. Call with questions at 719-557-1755 anytime. If you need to see something not covered in the pics just call and I will text what you need.

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Toyota Mirai rated at 67 mpge, 312-mile range The Environmental Protection Agency gave the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric car a 67-miles-per-gallon-equivalent rating.

Both come with three years or $15,000 worth of free fuel. Toyota plans to expand sales to the Northeast United States later. Toyota's top female exec resigns in wake of arrest Meanwhile, in other Toyota news, the automaker's communications chief and top female executive, Julie Hamp, resigned.

Toyota Avalon celebrates 20 years with Touring Sport Edition

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Toyota Avalon may not have the sportiest image on the market. Heck, it doesn't even have the sportiest image in the Toyota lineup. But the Japanese automaker is out to fix that perception, at least a little bit, with the launch of the new Touring Sport Edition.
Announced together with some minor updates to the entire Avalon line - consisting primarily of enhanced safety and infotainment systems - the Avalon XLE Touring Sport Edition celebrates the 20th anniversary of Toyota's large sedan line. Setting this special edition apart are a black paintjob, HID headlights, LED daytime running lights, 18-inch alloys (similar in design to those on the Scion FR-S) and an interior decked out with perforated leather with dark blue trim... plus, of course, the requisite special badges inside and out.
Only 2,500 units will be offered with a $37,170 sticker price that puts it near (if not quite at) the top of the Avalon range that's capped by the $41,700 Avalon Hybrid Limited. Pricing has increased on most models by around two percent, and you can scope out all the details of the updates to the full range in the press releases below.
