I am selling a two owner ORIGINAL 1978 Toyota FJ40 that has the original 2F engine with 115k miles on her. This FJ has spent its life in South Texas with only two owners that kept the fj in original condition. It has a little rust in the usual places but overall it is in great condition. The front seats are in good condition but the driver side could be redone. The top looks in great condition and the tires Have about 70% tread. The FJ drives great and starts right up on the first turn of the key. All the gauges work including the windshield wipers, gas gauge, temp gauge, oil gauge and speedometer/odometer. This FJ has not been chopped up and is mostly original including the stock radio, seats, dash, rims, dome light and much more. I have had a few FJs over the years and this is one of the cleaner ones out there. If the FJ is left alone in original condition and not butchered up with a chevy or ford engine it will continue to rise in value.
I will help out with the shipping, but the buyer is responsible for the shipping cost. I have used a lady named Mary with MotorMovers, and she is awesome and will keep you posted during the shipping process. The FJ is being sold locally as well, so I have a right to end this auction at any time. You are free to review the FJ before you bid as the FJ is being sold as is and does not come with any type of warranty. The winning bidder is required to send a $1,000. non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of close of auction and the remaining balance within 3 days. Upon receiving deposit, I will send a copy of the Title and then the FJ will be ready for pick up after balance has been received. I do NOT accept pay pal, so cash or wire transfer is preferred.

Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build
Sat, 08 Jun 2013If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.
Toyota MR2 shows why we still love the 1990s
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Was there a better time for Japanese performance than the 1980s and 1990s? It seems like looking back, Japan was on a roll, producing cars that were affordable, economical, reliable, fast and lightweight. And while all the attention is - thanks to a certain film series - focused on cars like Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7, there is a lesser-known model that's establishing its own enduring legacy without the help of Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.
The MR2, affectionately known as the "Mister Two" to fanboys, first arrived in 1984 as a lightweight, mid-engined sports car that proceeded to eat the lunch of the Pontiac Fiero in terms of performance. That car was replaced in 1989 with the more familiar, rounded-out MR2, which is the subject of this latest video from the team at Petrolicious.
The video takes a look at a group of MR2 drivers, and attempts to explain what it is about the car that is destined to make it a future classic. Scroll down to see Petrolicious examine the MR2 Connection.
177k Toyota Camry Hybrids being recalled for brake issue
Mon, 11 Aug 2014It looks like Consumer Reports might be getting part of what it wants regarding the Toyota Camry Hybrid and its braking system. Toyota is issuing what it calls a limited service campaign, rather than a full recall, covering about 177,500 of the hybrid sedans from the 2007 through 2011 model years because of an issue with the cars' brake fluid reservoirs.
The models have a filter separating two chambers of the brake fluid reservoir, and the part can get clogged over time. If this happens, the fluid level in one of the chambers can get too low and eventually cause the power assist to fail. There are multiple warning lights on the dashboard that illuminate over time if the filter gets obstructed, though. The company is replacing the entire reservoir with an improved unit, and the fix takes about two hours to perform.
Consumer Reports recently began asking for a recall on these models for the potentially clogged filters. The magazine also reported a second issue with the ABS brake actuator that could lead to a difficult to depress brake, but Toyota has increased the warranty on the part to 10 years or 150,000 miles.
