Contact me at (515) 864-1275 After Land Cruiser - What was Far became Near. SURVIVOR ALERT!
A vehicle is only original once. Anyone can write a check to restore something but it’s never quite the same. There are those of us that place the greatest value on largely untouched classics. If you are one of these people, you will appreciate this remarkable Freeborn Red 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 51,200 Kilometers (<32,000) original miles. There are a few things I could have painted, touched up or attempted to refurbish but I did not. What you see here is an original Land Cruiser FJ40 that has seen very little use over the las 34 years.
I call this truck "Colombian Soul" as this Land Cruiser FJ40 was originally from Colombia. She's a remarkable "preservation class" FJ40! You can see every spot weld on this truck and she has all the glory of a rust free survivor, She looks, drives and runs like you would expect from a vehicle with 32,000 miles, pull the choke, turn the key and she bursts to life every time.
She’s not restored, not repainted, not rebuilt. She’s ORIGINAL AND WELL PRESERVED! Here's your chance to own this epic original 1980 Land Cruiser FJ40 that retains her original paint, interior, engine, and drive train. She’s obviously been cared for with devoted attention and nothing has been done to impact the originality other than some great upgrades along the way. Her original paint is in beautiful condition. This is great Land Cruiser, rust free un-restored and pure understated COOL. Just turn the key and the fun begins!

Details & Condition
The floors are all solid and shine with factory paint and the original sound and heat barrier applied by Toyota. The interior is excellent and EVERYTHING works, as it should. The radio is vintage and I assume was installed by the dealer. The A/C blows cold and heater works well, turn signals, hazards, headlight high and low beams, wipers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, odometer, speedometer, fuel, oil, amp and temp gauges all functioning flawlessly. The original upholstery has one tear on the drivers side bolster (pictured) but is otherwise excellent. There are speakers installed in the hard top but they are not connect to an audio source. The working radio speaker is under the front seat.
The truck has 3.70 gears and the H41 transmission with "Granny Low". This FJ40’s suspension, which consists of rugged solid axles and OEM leaf springs at both ends, has a raised stance with 33x7.50 tires. At the back of the truck's frame you will find the factory rear step, flanked by the original bumpettes to assist your passengers who want to climb in back. The MPR hard top has one big swing out door rather than ambulance doors. This provides improved visibility in the rear view mirror. Under it all you will find OEM 16 inch steel gray split rims and hubcaps with AVM locking hubs surrounded by 10 ply General LT 33x7.50 tires that have plenty of life left in them. Hanging on the swing out rear tire carrier is the matching spare tire.
Mileage and Use
All in all, everything is in unbelievable original condition. STUDY THE PHOTOS and WATCH THE VIDEO. High bidder is responsible for pick up or delivery, I will assist in any way I can. I would like a wire transfer within 7 business days please. FJ40’s like this are rare, hard to come by and continue to appreciate if well cared for. I encourage you to call me at (515) 864 1275 and thanks for looking! I reserve the right to end this Auction early, (which is usually what happens). If you know FJ40’s, you know what your looking at and just how few there are like this left. This is an “Investment Grade” Land Cruiser FJ40. 200 Photographs

2014 Toyota Aygo is so cross with itself
Mon, 03 Mar 2014It almost made it, but images of the redesigned Toyota Aygo have leaked ahead of its official debut at tomorrow's Geneva Motor Show. The new Aygo sports an aggressive look overall with a, um, mark on its face.
That distinguishing design feature aside, we quite like the angular headlights and muscular overall look of this little city car. The gaping trapezoidal air intake make the Aygo look more substantial, while swollen rear wheel arches hint at something sportier than your standard commuter device.
Sportiness, though, isn't likely to be a big part of the Aygo. As it's built on the same platform as the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108, we should expect the same pair of gas-powered engines, which means at best, the Toyota will come to market with 82 horsepower under hood.
2014 Toyota Corolla details leaked
Thu, 09 May 2013Toyota will launch the 2014 Corolla later this year, and thanks to the ever-leaky internet, a couple of key details about the new sedan have been revealed. Car and Driver was able to uncover these bits of information thanks to someone at a Toyota dealer in Kansas who has seen the car, as well as its order guide, though the dealer's site has since removed its original posting.
We got our first glimpse at the next-generation Corolla's design at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, where Toyota unveiled the Furia concept, pictured above. Yes, it looks all sporty and aggressive, but fear not, appliance shoppers, C/D says that the production car should have a couple of Furia bits mixed in with a huge helping of Camry-inspired styling.
The 2014 Corolla will reportedly continue to use a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, though the mill has been massaged a bit, adding Toyota's Valvematic continuously variable valve timing. A four-speed automatic (yep!) will be offered in the base model, though the manual transmission now has six gears, and higher trim levels can be had with a CVT. Both engine output and fuel economy numbers should improve slightly over the 2013 model. Currently, the Corolla produces 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and achieves 27/34 miles per gallon (city/highway) with the five-speed manual 'box.
Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
