BEAUTIFUL 1978 TOYOTA FJ40 LANDCRUISER FRESHLY RESTORED

WELCOME TO MY AUCTION:

HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A BEAUTIFULLY FRAME ON RESTORED 1978 TOYOTA FJ40 LAND CRUISER.

THIS TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SOUTHWEST TRUCK. IT WAS BOUGHT NEW IN ALBUQUERQUE NEW

MEXICO AND HAS BASICALLY SPENT IT'S WHOLE LIFE HERE. IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL DEALER

WINDOW STICKER FROM NEW IN ALBUQUERQUE.

I AM A RESTORER OF THESE TOYOTA'S . WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IT CAME WITH A FILE FROM THE

PREVIOUS OWNER OF MECHANICAL REBUILDING, MANY MANY RECEIPTS FROM HIS OWNERSHIP.

BEFORE I STARTED THE RESTORATION OF THE BODY AND INTERIOR, I KNEW THE MECHANICS ON THE

FJ40 WERE JUST SUPER. THE TRUCK HAS NO LEAKS! THE ENGINE IS AS SMOOTH AS A SEWING

MACHINE.

NOW FOR WHAT I DID TO THE TRUCK. VIEW ALL PHOTOS SINCE IT SHOWS THE TEAR DOWN AND

REBUILD. THE COMPLETE BODY WAS DISASSEMBLED AND MEDIA BLASTED TO SEE WHAT WAS NEED FOR

A PROPER REPAINT. THE TOYOTA MUSTARD COLOR YOU SEE IS THE FACTORY COLOR IT CAME WITH.

THE TRUCK IS PAINTED WITH DUPONT ACRYLIC ENAMEL INSIDE AND OUT, TOOK THREE GALLONS OF

PAINT FOR THE BEAUTIFUL FINISH YOU SEE HERE TODAY. THE PAINT FINISH IS OUTSTANDING. THE

TRUCK HAD NO FLOOR RUST.

I ELECTED TO RHINO LINE THE INTERIOR FLOOR SURFACES FOR FUTURE USAGE AND PROTECTION

FROM THE ELEMENTS. AS YOU CAN READ ON THE DEALER STICKER THE TRUCK HAD BEEN UNDERCOATED

BEFORE IT WAS FIRST SOLD, THAT IS WHY THIS TRUCK WAS IN SUCH NICE CONDITION. THE TRUCK

SHOWED TO NEVER HAD BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENTS. EVERY PIECE OF

SHEET METAL ON THIS TRUCK IS ORIGINAL TO THE TRUCK WITH EXCEPTION OF THE REAR SILL UNDER

THE AMBULANCE DOORS. THE SILL WAS SHOWING RUST BLISTERS, I ELECTED TO REPLACE RATHER

THAN REPAIR.

EVERYTHING PAINTED SILVER ON THE TRUCK IS ALSO PAINTED IN DUPONT ACRYLIC ENAMEL. ALSO

EVERYTHING THAT IS IS WHITE IS PAINTED THE SAME WAY.

MOST OF THE ASSEMBLY HARDWARE WAS REPLACED WITH STAINLESS STEEL BOLTS.

YOU ARE VIEWING PHOTOS OF THE TRUCK IN VARIOUS STAGES OF THE RESTORATION.

ALL SEATS HAVE BEEN REDONE ALONG WITH THE FOAM IN FACTORY COLOR. I ALSO ADDED A NEW

CARGO MAT FOR THE REAR AND NEW MATS FOR THE FRONT.

ALL GAUGES FUNCTION AS NEW, TRUCK IS JUST A LITTLE OVER 72,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. ALL

ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN GONE THROUGH. ALL LENSES FOR LIGHTS REPLACED.

ALL WINDOW WIND LACE WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS DOOR SEALS. DOORS SHUT LIKE A NEW CAR.

TRUCK, HAS NO RATTLES OR SQUEAKS.

ALL GLASS IS EXCELLENT.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD DONE SOME OF THE CHROME YOU SEE . I ASKED HIM WHY HE DIDN'T JUST

BUY THE NEW STAINLESS PARTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE? HE SAID HE DID BUT DIDN'T LIKE THE QUALITY

SO HE ELECTED TO HAVE THE BRIGHT WORK YOU SEE CHROME PLATED INSTEAD. THE THINGS HE DID

SHOW VERY NICE.

THE TRUCK HAS 5 NEW NEXEN ALL TERRAIN TIRES . THESE TIRES HAVE THE PLACES FOR STUDS IF

NEEDED FOR YOUR CLIMATE. THEY ARE 10.50X 31X15 INCH, THESE MAKE THE TRUCK STAND UP

PROUD. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS TRUCK HAS NOT HAD THE REAR FENDERS CUT OUT AND FLAIRS ADDED.

THE TRUCK WILL COME WITH A FOLDER FULL OF RECEIPTS FOR WHAT I HAVE DONE AND THE PREVIOUS

OWNER HAD DONE.

THIS CRUISER DOES NOT HAVE POWER STEERING OR AIR CONDITIONING.

BID WITH CONFIDENCE, THIS IS A GORGEOUS FJ40 THAT YOU WILL BE PROUD TO OWN.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.

Gazoo heads to the N"urburgring with Lexus LFA Code X

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

You'd be forgiven for thinking just because the Lexus LFA has ended its production run (it's been over a year now) that Toyota would have ceased its development. You'd be forgiven, but Gazoo Racing is here to tell you you'd still be wrong.
One of Toyota's many works racing teams, Gazoo is returning to the 24-hour endurance race at the Nürburgring this year with a trio of entries. One is based on the Toyota GT86 (which we know as the Scion FR-S), and one is essentially the same LFA that it's entered in years past. But the third vehicle is dubbed Code X.
It's also based on the LFA, but its 4.8-liter V10 engine has been bored out to 5.3 liters, raising its output to untold levels. It's got a full carbon-fiber chassis and a range of other enhancements that Gazoo isn't telling us about just yet, but they should turn the LFA Code X from a road-going supercar beyond a racecar and into a rolling research lab. Considering that Gazoo has been racing at the 'Ring since 2007 and fielding versions of the LFA there since 2008, it'll be interesting to see how the Code X version fares.
