1974 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40: Clean One Owner 96,123 Runs Great on 2040-cars

Hello, and welcome to my FJ40 auction. I am the second owner of this vehicle and she has been my daily driver for the last few months.The odometer has not turned yet and sits at 96,123 miles.
 I got the Land Cruiser from Teton Toyota here in Idaho after they decided to retire her. She was used for hunting and camping, as well as some plowing in her day. 
This rig is really solid and is in excellent condition. The engine, transmission, transfer case, lights, heaters and all of the switches work. This FJ40 was taken care of and received regular oil changes and maintenance. 
The vehicle itself is in excellent condition and doesn't have much rust for a Cruiser. The only real rust is on the drivers side floor pan and below the rocker panel on the drivers side. The drivers side floor pan is still functional but will need to be replaced at some point. 
This FJ40 is stock as they come and is all original minus the rear floor.

Here is a list of the original OEM part on this vehicle:
The engine 4 speed transmission and transfer case are all stock. The engine is all original including the air intake, carburetor, etc...
The entire body, frame, axles, etc are stock with no aftermarket parts.
The interior is all original including all of the switches, lights, and all four seats
The doors and hatch are all original and in excellent condition. The front and back doors are entirely rust free, and are some of the most beautiful FJ40 doors I have ever seen.
You can see that most of this vehicle is stock and in great condition.

I personally really like the 1974 FJ40 because it was the last year of the hatch, but it also was the first year of the 2F engine and the 4 speed transmission.
I know from past experiences that those ambulance doors are really dangerous for small kids and fingers in general if you don't secure them. The hatch never fails as long as you have it lifted high enough to get under it without smacking your dome.
This was also the last year of the older style doors which in my opinion are the coolest of the FJ40 doors. That at least goes for the retro steel interior.

This FJ40 would be an ideal restore project, daily driver, or hunting rig. It does have a little rust along the driver side but the fender, frame,  back end, and undercarriage are really solid.
The Cruiser has not been modified at all and is all original.
The front seats will need to be reupholstered, and the drivers side rust will need to be replaced with new steel. The hood will also need to be buffed out and repainted. There is also a small dent on the hood that will need to be pounded out if you want to do a full restore. 
I do have a pristine hood for this Cruiser if the lucky winner is interested in purchasing it from me for $75.00. I will throw it in the back of the FJ40 for you:)

I have a video on Youtube that shows the car running, shifting, driving, and a complete walkthrough.
I can also store the vehicle for 30 days once payment is made if you need time to arrange shipment. You will need to pay me to store it any longer than that.
Payment must be made within one week of auction ending. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day:)

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.

VW targeting 10M sales in 2014

Sun, 16 Mar 2014

Volkswagen 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.

2014 Toyota Corolla priced from $16,800*

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

We'll be publishing our First Drive of the 2014 Toyota Corolla later today, but right now, we can reveal that the eleventh-generation compact will be priced from $16,800 when it hits dealerships this fall (*not including a $810 destination charge).
Four trim levels will be offered, and that sub-$17,000 price point reflects the base L grade with a six-speed manual transmission. Adding the four-speed automatic (yep) brings that price up to $17,400, which gets you the usual features standard on this class of car, including Bluetooth connectivity, eight airbags and - a first for this price point - LED headlamps.
From there, the LE trim ($18,300) adds a backup camera, cruise control, keyless entry, Entune audio (including a 6.1-inch touchscreen) and a brand-new continuously variable transmission replacing the four-speed auto. There's even an Eco version of the LE trim that uses a different engine tune to provide fuel economy of up to 42 miles per gallon on the highway.
