1978 Fj40 Land Cruiser 42k Orig Miles & Light Resto New Ultimate Old Emu Lift on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
This is an incredible rare find - maybe not quite a 'barn' find - but it is our understanding that it was in a garage and storage unit for most of its life with only two previous owners. The original owner bought it up near Elko Nevada and used it for prospecting and trapping in the high desert area three hours east of Reno. The second owner knew him when he was younger and often asked him if he could buy it - then one day in 2009 the original owner went to his house and offered it to him for sale - the second owner had almost forgot what he was talking about! We visited the second owner last year and were lucky enough to purchase it. We also found one gas receipt from December 1978 when the original owner purchased gas - 66.9 cents per gallon - full tank $9.90! Well - it's too nice for us to keep and two kids starting college shortly need their tuition paid - now - but we did freshen it up and added a few upgrades with a complete and light frame on restoration. Everything about this FJ 40 is like a time capsule from 1978 with 42k original low miles. It shifts and runs like new. The doors open and close as if they were new - the engine idles and runs smoothly at 65mph all day long. The transmission shifts perfectly through all forward gears and reverse, and it transfers effortlessly to 4wd. Original AM radio, never used orig Work Light and the glovebox outlet works, Orig touch up paint can and orig manuals. Everything works electronically - All gauges and switches work with upgraded actual water temp - can be removed and reinstalled to temp guage - your choice - but it is nice to know the exact temperature. All orig factory tools/bag, jack and components as they came from the factory. Original factory dash has no cracks or wear of any kind, original Toyota front floor mat is like new, rear orig insulated mat in great condition. Original door panels are in like new condition with no signs of wear of any kind. All weather stripping in great condition. The windows crank up and down with little effort. All Original Factory Toyota Glass, including the windshield. If you choose to fly in and pick it up personally - and drive it back - I would have no worries you would make it home mechanically - its that nice and dependable. It would also be quite a deal at our reserve price compared to the ones completely restored ones that have sold at auction recently for $77K and $105K.

Watch this cement truck roll into Toyota minivan from driver's point of view
Thu, 10 Apr 2014If you've been having an easy day and haven't received your daily dose of unmitigated terror, then this video is for you. Dr. Guan Zhu, a Texas A&M professor, caught the above view on his dashcam in College Station, TX, as a cement truck ran a red light, lost control and rolled into his Toyota Sienna minivan.
Although he received only minor injuries, Dr. Zhu says that he blacked out during the accident. The truck driver also avoided serious injuries, and the Sienna took the hit rather well too. Scroll down to watch the footage and report from KBTX. Hopefully, this is as close anyone else ever gets to a terrifying event of this nature.
Toyota, Lexus to build more CUVs to meet surging demand
Sun, Jan 18 2015What was the biggest takeaway from the auto industry's 2014? Besides the fact that recalls are now a sad and mostly unremarkable part of a vehicle's life, it's that you can't be a competitive, mainstream brand in the US without a really strong line of crossovers, SUVs or pickups. We saw evidence of this as recently as Monday, when Hyundai unveiled its HCD-15 Santa Cruz Concept, and now we're seeing it again with Toyota. The company already has a comprehensive lineup of both mainstream and luxury CUVs and SUVs, although surging demand – sales were up 16 percent last year, Bloomberg reports – has led the company to increase its production tempo at the plants responsible for the RAV4 and Lexus RX. "The freeze is still in place until the end of March of 2016," Toyota's Jim Lentz told Bloomberg during this week's Detroit Auto Show, referencing the production bump at the Japanese and Canadian factories responsible for the models. "That hasn't changed. All indications are that it will lift, but right now it has not lifted." The increased sales are even spurring the brand to consider additional CUVs, including a compact that would slot in below the RAV4, Lentz told the business publication. Such a move would give Toyota a player in an increasingly competitive and important segment. In 2014 alone, mainstream brands, including Honda, Mazda, Chevrolet and Jeep, have announced brand new products destined for the compact CUV market. "We're going to have to look at how the market under RAV4 develops," Lentz told Bloomberg. "There's no question that it's going to. That's going to be the next growth spurt." Related Video:
Hyundai tops Toyota in annual CarMD Vehicle Health Index
Fri, 06 Dec 2013CarMD has released its third annual Vehicle Health Index, which for the 2013 tracked the frequency and cost of repairs for "check engine" problems of 119-million vehicles built between the 2003 and 2013 model years. For the first two years of the index, Toyota ranked at the top of the list, but this year's results see Hyundai moved to number one, pushing Toyota down a spot.
The Korean automaker's rise to the top has been "fueled by its low repair frequency," according to CarMD. Toyota is second to Hyundai in lowest repair frequency, but Toyotas also have the highest average cost of repair. (Interestingly, General Motors vehicles have the lowest average.) Both Toyota's and Hyundai's manufacturer "health" ratings suffered this year, but Toyota took a bigger hit, which also is what helped Hyundai achieve the top ranking.
While Hyundai is the top manufacturer in the index, the 2012 Toyota Camry is the top vehicle. The best-ranking Hyundai was the 2010 Elantra (behind three Nissan models and four Toyotas), which took the number eight spot. Hyundai has six other vehicles in the top 100.
