1965 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj45 Pickup on 2040-cars
Olympia, Washington, United States
|
1965 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pickup. This FJ45 has spent the bulk of its life in Arizona with the last 12 years in a dry, low humidity part of Washington state. I bought this truck because it didn't have any rust in it which is unheard of in these rigs. I then commenced a complete six month frame off restoration. The engine and transmission are not original to this truck. The anemic F1 engine has been replaced by an F2 engine with 20,000 original miles. The 3 speed has been replaced with a later 4 speed transmission. Power steering was installed to aid in the comfort of driving while at low speeds and in tight surroundings. The truck is repainted in its original color, Horizon Blue. The paint is show quality. The pickup bed has been sprayed with Horizon Blue bed liner.
This is the convertible version of the FJ45 pickup. The top and doors are easily removed and the windshield can be laid down flat on the hood. The winch is early Japanese made and appears to be original to the truck. I have not undercoated the FJ deciding to leave it natural because of its high quality condition. The engine has not been detailed, which I will leave to you. If you are a perfectionist, you may want to replace the original tailgate, which is not perfect. The restoration was performed by a team of professionals that I have used at least a dozen times over the last 15 years. They are chosen for the quality of their work, not for the fees they charge. Excellence is the goal. This truck starts, runs and drives very well. Everything works, except for the horn, which I have elected to not hook up. Everything on this truck has been inspected and refurbished, if necessary, always striving to use original parts when available. We've done our best to maintain the originality of this truck. It is a stunning restoration that will last for another 50 years! |

Toyota announces GT86 CS-R3 rally car
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Toyota Motorsport GmbH has developed cars for all manner of racing, up to and including Formula One and Le Mans. But it got its start back in 1979 in rally competition, winning four drivers' and three manufacturers' titles in the World Rally Championship. And now it's announced a new rally car.
Based on the Toyota GT86 (better known to us as the Scion FR-S), the CS-R3 rally car isn't built to contest the top tier of the WRC, but is being developed to conform to the lower R3 class. That means a six-speed sequential gearbox, limited slip differential and upgraded engine, brakes, aero... the works. It'll retain the road-going model's rear-drive setup, joining the front-drive Yaris R1A in TMG's portfolio of customer rally cars.
Further details are set to be revealed "in the coming months", but the GT86 CS-R3 will benefit from the experience TMG accrued in developing the GT86 CS-V3 (pictured above) for the Nürburgring-based VLN endurance racing series.
Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.
Toyota sees Camry share loss despite predicting increasing sales
Tue, 02 Apr 2013Toyota may be set to lose share the midsize sedan market. While speaking with Automotive News, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz said that if his company kept pace with the current swell in the market for family four doors, Toyota would need to sell around 500,000 Camry models. "I'm not sure we can do much more than 400 [thousand] today," Lentz said.
But that doesn't mean Camry sales are shrinking - on the contrary, Lentz thinks Toyota will likely sell more Camry units in 2013 than it did in 2012, it's just that the company isn't keeping pace with segment's current explosion in popularity. Industry wide, midsized sedan sales have increased by 20 percent. "Are we going to lose [Camry] share? Probably so," Lentz said, "but we will continue to grow in raw volume."
Toyota sold 404,886 Camry units last year, and the company just revised its 2013 sales objective from 2.18 million units earlier this year to 2.2-million plus units, so while things are looking up for the brand and Camry sales may be on the rise, Toyota may not have the muscle to keep up its share in the sedan segment. Whether that's because of a production bottleneck or a predicted sales ceiling isn't clear. We've got a call in and will update this news item if/when we learn more.
