1973 Toyota Land Cruiser Super Clean ! No Reserve... on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Ohio, United States

This is an outstanding FJ40. I've entered it in a couple of local car shows and it has been first in it's class each time. One of the recurring comments is that it has 'gone through a time warp' The paint on the hood is faded from the sun and the tailgate doors show their age but are fully functional.Those are the only negatives. I've had this vehicle for 7 years and I continue to be impressed with how well preserved it is and how original it is. This is a tough, solid truck. I've done a few things to it: Headers installed 2 years ago. (They did help with fuel consumption). The carb was cleaned and new float installed. Last summer, the water pump and the radiator were replaced. All the heater and coolant hoses replaced at that time. New front door weatherstripping . The windshield and gasket were replaced last summer also. I put the chrome wheels on 5 summers ago. I saved the original wheels and they are included in the sale. The vehicle runs strong, shifts smooth. The clutch is strong. The hubs turn freely, the 4 wheel engages easily and works well. The brakes are good. Doesn't use any oil between changes. It is a dependable daily driver if desired. The doors, the fenders, all the metal(even the tailgate area- a usual problem spot) are very clean. Even the bottom lip of the doors are clean. The interior is exceptional also. The original carpet is in great shape. The original seats are in great shape as well. This FJ, with proper maintenance and care, could easily last another 30-40 years. The off road capability of FJ's is legendary. It also cruises on the freeway effortlessly and at more than adequate speed. There's a sony disc player in the glovebox and a 10 disc changer under the seat. The dash was never cut up for a din mount stereo. So even the dash is unmolested. This FJ was purchased new by the previous owner's father. He worked at a museum. He took excellent care of it as you might expect. The reason I'm selling this is because I'm old and I no longer hunt or go camping. That is the reason I bought it. It's time for someone else to take it over and appreciate what it is truly capable of. Terms of sale... I can not ship...... I will however be more than happy to assist your shipper, however I can.

VW targeting 10M sales in 2014
Sun, 16 Mar 2014Volkswagen Group believes it can sell over 10 million vehicles in 2014, with hopes of overtaking Toyota as the world's largest automaker in the process. If VW can do it, it would meet that goal four years earlier than planned. Of course, Toyota isn't sitting still - it also hopes to top the 10 million-car threshold this year and has the advantage of already holding the top spot.
"With rising volume and new models, we will increasingly see positive earnings effects as well," said VW Group CEO Martin Winterkorn during its annual press conference, according to Automotive News. The company is spending huge amounts of money to propel it to the top, investing 84.2 billion euros ($117 billion) through 2018, and according to AN it plans to introduce over 100 new models worldwide among all of its brands by the end of next year.
The German automaker may get an extra boost as the European car industry shows signs of emerging from its yearlong stagnation and China continues to grow. In January, VW Group was up 8.5 percent in Europe and 15.5 percent in China, according to its own figures. However, the US has been slowing with Volkswagen brand sales down 19.04 percent in January and down 13.81 percent in February.
New drifting world record set in Toyota GT86
Wed, 30 Jul 2014We have entered a drifting arms race. Last year, BMW smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest drift by hanging the tail out for 51.3 miles around a wet skid pad in an M5 at the BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina. That beat the previous milestone of nearly seven miles. Now, Bimmer's record is up in smoke as well and is in the possession of a Toyota.
German driver Harald Müller pummeled the old record to drift for 89.55 miles around a 0.15-mile (235.5-meter) course in Samsun, Turkey, in a Toyota GT86 (or Scion FR-S as it's known in the US). According to the Guinness World Records website, it took him 612 laps and 2 hours, 25 minutes and 18 seconds to manage the achievement. Sit back to watch a few minutes of the German's two and a half hours behind the wheel with the tail out.
Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations
Mon, 16 Dec 2013So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.
