Rare Toyota Landcruiser Fj40 Fj 40 Land Cruiser 1978 Original Barn 4wd Find on 2040-cars
Amelia, Ohio, United States
This 1978 FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser is as stock as I'm able to keep it
with 94k original miles. I bought it off the previous owner who owned
this TLC for about 30 years. It spent much of its life in Utah where
climate is dry. It has never been used for rock-crawling.
The emission system has not been tampered with and is all original. Mileage shown is believed to be actual as the odometer has never been inoperative during the time-period of our ownership, but mileage may increase from that pictured. The original owner's manual, jack, and tire tools and their pouch are included. All mechanical and electrical items function including lights, horn, wipers, radio, turn signals, window cranks, door latches and locks. I have the original keys for doors, ignition, gas cap door and rear door. Repairs, which have been rare, are made using original Toyota parts and generally accomplished by a Toyota dealership. It has manually locking front hubs. The transfer case has high and low speeds, and the 4-speed transmission easily up-shifts and down-shifts. We have never used it for towing but does have a hitch. It is extremely reliable and has never let us down a single time. It has the original 6-cylinder engine and boosted disc brakes. It has no power accessories, air conditioning, cruise control, sound insulation, etc. It has a rear-seat area heater. The paint is original except for professionally repaired and painted rust spots on the front fenders, rear quarter panels and beneath the rear door. Some small rust spots appear on the inside right rear fender, where steps join the body and on hood latches. The pan and frame show very little rust considering the vehicle's age, but springs, hubs and shackle area do show surface rust. The skid plates show no sign of ever being in contact with hard objects. No rust is seen that affects structural integrity. It has never been in an accident. An inch-long crack is in the vinyl dash. A CB antenna is installed on the rear. Rear speakers are installed but are low-tech by today's standards. Original vinyl seat covers are on the seats. The tires are brand new BF Goodrich that were $200 each. I also just installed brand new Bilstein shocks. There is no leaks on anything on this cruiser. It starts when cold with half-choke; it idles nicely and doesn't hesitate when accelerating. I just put a new clutch and water pump within the last month. The vehicle is kept garaged but is 34-years old and has expected age-related minor flaws, all of which are not listed here. This vehicle has no warranty and is being sold "as-is." |

2014 Toyota Highlander greets the world with NYC debut
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Toyota has pulled the wraps off its all-new, 2014 Highlander in New York this morning, giving Americans a first look at what is sure to be a heavyweight in the mid-size crossover segment.
The new third-generation Highlander will come with the buyer's choice of three different powertrain options. The base model will be powered by a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel-drive. Next up the ladder is a 3.5-liter V6, also mated to the 6AT, which can be had with either front-or all-wheel-drive. Finally, the Highlander Hybrid will be equipped with all-wheel drive, its 3.5-liter V6 mated to an electric motor, all hooked up to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The automaker has not released any specs for fuel economy or output yet, though we're promised increases in both power and efficiency.
While not a revolution in terms of styling, Toyota has cleaned up the bodywork for the new model, offering a crisp, conservative look for the slightly larger Highlander. The vehicle is some three inches longer and an inch-and-a-half wider than the outgoing model, yet it has a lower roofline. Black plastic-clad wheel arches make an attempt to butch up the crossover, though to our eyes, the Highlander still has the look of a minivan around the rear view.
Scion reveals iM concept ahead of LA debut
Wed, 12 Nov 2014After dropping a teaser image on us a few weeks ago, Scion has revealed in full the new iM Concept it's bringing to the Los Angeles Auto Show next week. As expected, the concept is clearly a rebadged version of the Euro-market Toyota Auris, only with some "European Racing Circuit Styling" upgrades to make it look more aggressive.
Along with the Scion logos, the five-door hatch is treated to a deeper air dam flanked by angular vents with stacked fog lamps, beefed-up wheel arches linked by widened side sills and filled with 19-inch, anthracite-finish alloys on low-profile rubber. Vented brake discs and four-piston calipers join an adjustable suspension as show-worthy equipment upgrades.
The sporty treatment continues around back with a similarly aggressive rear bumper and roof spoiler. Even the wing mirrors are replaced with narrower units. Little wonder it's all done up in a shade Scion calls "incrediblue" that looks rather similar to what sister-brand Lexus would put on one of its F-branded performance models - or for that matter what corporate ally Subaru would put on an STI hot hatches like the WRX.
2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 4
Fri, 28 Jun 2013The fourth and final practice day of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is complete. Tomorrow everyone will make any last-minute adjustments and get their cars, their bits and bobs lined up in the pits for Sunday morning's this-time-it-counts run.
The Unlimited runners took on the top section of the course today, Sébastien Loeb and his big-mouth Peugeot acing the practice test again with a time of 2:11. Rhys Millen's team proved its got the engine issues of two days ago in the Hyundai PM580T sorted out, posting the next-best time at 2:27.16. The reason we had to dip all the way into the hundredths for his time is because he nipped Romain Dumas by just .31 of them, the Frenchman in the Norma M20FC PP running the course in 2:27.47. In fourth came the Frenchman in the monster Mini, Jean-Philippe Dayraut six seconds back at 2:33.
Time Attack competitors, also on the upper section, were led by Paul Dallenbach in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe with a time of 2:36, Porsche pilot Jeff Zwart crossing the line six seconds later at 2:42, fellow Porsche driver David Donner coming in another six seconds back at 2:48. Dallenbach has topped three of the four practice-day sessions, sliding into the second spot behind Donner only on Practice Day 2.
