Very cool and rare late model FJ40 with Power Steering.

Here's your chance if you want the best of the best. Here's a drop-dead gorgeous 1980 Beige Land Cruiser FJ40 that has undergone an extensive restoration from top to bottom with meticulous attention to detail. She rides and drives beautifully and without issue.

Miraculously, this FJ40 has been able to dodge many of the of the undesirable modifications that you often see. You won't find diamond plate, a V8, rear quarters cut out for flares or any jerry cans bolted on. The truck does have a very nice leak-free sunroof which was added at the time of purchase. It can tipped open or glass completely removed.  It's got the original Toyota 2F 6-cylinder and the emission control or smog equipment appears to be intact. The inline six-cylinder hums and the steering, clutch, transfer case and transmission are all in excellent working order.

Overview:
This FJ40 was restored by the previous owner who was very detail oriented, maintenance and performance minded. The engine was rebuilt and a performance distributor and other upgraded components were added which result in a great running engine. She does not burn oil or leak any fluids. Inside you will find a beautiful cabin upgraded with brighter LED signal and cluster lighting, additional amp meter, manifold pressure meter, aviation compass, sunroof and a high quality audio system. Having spent most of her life in dry climates, she’s in nearly perfect shape. The pictures tell the story and there are many to see if you click the links below. This FJ40 will not disappoint!

Interior:
The interior is flawless. The front seats have been reupholstered and the rear jump seat retain the original upholstery and they look great. The metal seat backs were sandblasted and powder coated. You will find the correct 1980 rear heater installed and finished in satin black. Correct 1980 center console, original headliner and Kenwood AM/FM/CD with speakers in doors and in the rear.  There's new door weatherstripping on all doors, all windows work smoothly and seal well. 112K miles indicated on odometer and believed to be accurate. All OEM original mats front and rear. All 4 seat belts are intact, not frayed, and work well. The rear heater works great as do all gauges and controls. All turn signals, lights, wipers, washers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers, stereo and all gauges work perfectly. Both interior door panels as well as the dashpad are perfect. Includes the jack, jack rods and toolkit.

Body:
Repainted inside and out with Dupont single-stage urethane with hardener – Color matched to Toyota Beige 464. Rooftop and rain gutter repainted white, headlight bezel media blasted and painted white. Any rust was cut out and replaced with metal and rust proofed. There are no dents, dings or damage to the body. OEM front bumper with Halogen spots and fog lamps. During restoration she received new parts galore, rubber hood pads, hood hooks, all emblems & gaskets, new front and rear lamps, new mirrors, new transfer case shifter boot, etc. Set up to tow your favorite toy with a standard hitch receiver and 4 pin flat wiring. Cruiser is dealer equipped with Warn free wheeling hubs. The truck sits on a stock suspension and has a smooth ride compared to most. The Wildcat Radial tires are 80% and are mounted on OEM stock white wagon wheels! The spare is the original Dunlop Snow Cruiser.

Summary:
The quality of this FJ40 is extreme. You'll be unable to drive her around with noticing the smiles and waves of the growing FJ40's fan base! You can make a great memories in your FJ40 while also enjoying a blue chip investment that will reward you when and if you ever sell her.

Toyota officially outsells GM, VW through first three quarters

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

When it comes to global vehicle deliveries, the term "Big Three" doesn't apply to Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, but instead Toyota, GM and Volkswagen - in that order - through the third quarter of 2013. Toyota sold 7.41-million vehicles through the third quarter and is on track to deliver more vehicles this year than GM and VW, which sold 7.25-million and 7.03-million, respectively, through the same period, Bloomberg reports.
During the third quarter, from July to September, Toyota's 2.5-million deliveries helped to push it higher than its closest competitors this year. In that period, GM delivered 2.4-million vehicles while VW posted 2.33-million deliveries.
Part of the reason behind Toyota's and other Japanese automakers resurgence globally is the weakened yen, which can be attributed to policies made by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe since he took office in December 2012. Many refer to those monetary easing policies as 'Abenomics,' which has led some, such as Ford, to call Japan a currency manipulator and is a big reason why the US is lobbying to oppose Japan's entry into the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Scion trying to build business case for FR-S convertible as Subaru bows out

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Hope may remain for a convertible version of the Scion FR-S, according to a report from Ward's Auto. You'll recall that rumors were swirling about the feasibility of a rear-drive Toyobaru convertible as early as October, and that back in November, Subaru - which makes the FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 - essentially nixed the idea of an open-topped variant.
"We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen," brand chief Yasuyuki Yoshinaga told Automotive News, according to Ward's, at the Tokyo Motor Show. "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change."
Despite Yoshinaga-san's arguments against a droptop variant, Toyota is apparently still considering the model. Speaking to media at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, Scion's US vice president, Doug Murtha, hinted that the rear-drive droptop was in the works.

Toyota recounts past Supra glories

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

It could just be a slow start to the news week around the Toyota offices, but its UK blog has posted a brief history on its legendary Supra sports car. Read into however you'd like, but there has been plenty of speculation as to the return of the Supra nameplate in recent years (including last month from incoming Toyota chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada).
Built from April 1978 through July 2002, Toyota's sports coupe made quite a name for itself as both the Celica Supra (shown above) and the Supra, and the blog post charts many of the changes and highlights through the years. Head on over to the Toyota UK blog to read more about this Supra's history, and then be sure to check out the gallery of images from Toyota spanning all four generations.
