1978 Toyota Land Cruiser 2-door 330 Hp Chevy 350 V8 Crate Motor With Extras on 2040-cars
Fallston, Maryland, United States
78 FJ 40 in need of TLC
I purchased this Cruiser in 1999 from a private owner in California and had it shipped to Maryland. Within the first 1 year I had everything under the hood replaced including a new Chevy engine. Total cost of work was around $10,000.00 and I have all work/parts receipts for verification. Unfortunately, It has been sitting in my driveway since 2003 with very little running time and I have not had anytime to devote to it. Below is a detailed description of the vehicle. If you are local you are welcome to take a look at this vehicle. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer. I can also be reached at 443-617-1492. Good luck and thanks for looking. There is a $300.00 Deposit Due at End
of Auction. The balance must be by
certified check or cash. Vehicle is sold as is condition. Fair amount of body rust as you can see on photos. Floor is rusted through under fuel tank in cab (pictured in photo.) Please note front passenger seat is not pictured inside the vehicle. It is sitting in the shed along with the wheels and in good condition like driver's seat pictured. Engine has very low miles since installation but has been sitting a while. Please note millage listed above is an estimate based on new engine running time. Last ran over a year ago. Have a new Holly fuel pump that needs to be installed. Suggest replacing fuel lines. This engine is a screamer that was professionally installed by a local speed shop. Sounds nasty with the Flowmasters and definitely turns heads. Have new oil filter and oil to go with it. Has lift with front shackle reversal. Recently bought 5 professionally painted, vintage Toyota wagon wheels but never got tires for them. You would need to either pick them up and get tires or bring your own wheels for transport. Seats have been reupholstered with new covers from Specter Off Road. Has older style replacement turn signals. Have original turn signals as well. Ignition key does not match door locks. They were not provided in previous purchase. Previous owner did original restoration.

Construction of Lexus' first US assembly line underway
Thu, 09 Jan 2014The ES is Lexus' top-selling sedan, but the Japanese luxury marque has never manufactured it outside of Japan. In fact, Lexus has never made any cars in the United States, one of its largest markets worldwide. But that's about to change.
Yesterday, construction began in Georgetown, Kentucky, on the first Lexus assembly line in America, the first concrete (or steel) step in a $360-million expansion of Toyota's plant in the Bluegrass state that will create 750 new jobs. The expansion was announced last April by chief executive Akio Toyoda at the New York Auto Show.
Once the new assembly line gets online in the fall of next year, Toyota plans on building some 50,000 units of the ES each year. Lexus sold a record 72,581 examples of the ES in the United States last year - 30 percent more than the previous year - so Lexus will either have to import some more from overseas or leave some buyers disappointed.
2015 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro priced from $41,285*
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Just a few weeks after announcing pricing for the first two members of its TRD Pro Series, Toyota has finally dropped the final pricing details on its new Tundra TRD Pro. Like the Tacoma TRD Pro, the Tundra will be available in two different body styles, with a more affordable Double Cab and a roomier Crew Cab.
Prices start at $41,285 for the former and $43,900 for the latter - not counting a hefty $1,100 destination charge - effectively slotting Toyota's off-road-ready model between the $41,730, Double Cab Limited and $46,465, Crew Cab-only 1794 Edition trucks.
As we've covered previously, the TRD Pro models come with a raft of off-road gear that should help combat just about any terrain a driver may stumble across. TRD-tuned Bilstein shocks and TRD-tuned front springs add two inches to the big truck's ride height while the black, 18-inch TRD wheels and available Inferno Orange paint add a bit of visual sass. A new TRD dual exhaust system is also standard, which can confirm sounds great (review coming soon!).
Toyota's Psy-style Waku-Doki ad inherits Japan's bizarre ad crown
Tue, 29 Jul 2014A new Japanese Toyota ad featuring crisply suited businessmen driving into the jungle only to segue into a Psy-style music-video dance-off with a gorilla and natives is the latest car commercial to go viral. Jungle Wakudoki is the newest installment in a grand tradition of bizarre ads from the island nation that are by turns hilarious, head-scratching and occasionally even frightening.
Let's face it: My people are weird.
I'm half-Japanese and take suitable pride in my Asian roots, but even I can't figure out what's been slipped into the water coolers of the country's ad agencies much of the time - or the nation at large, for that matter. From Japan's ubiquitous obsession with all things adorable (kawaii) to its offbeat sense of humor and its bizarrely perverse and violent tentacle porn, it's clear there's a lot going on in the culture, and only some of it bubbles up to the surface in its marketing efforts. Much of the strangest and most amazing ads are for non-transportation products (e.g. laundry soap, snacks, energy drinks), but the automotive space has its fair share. This latest Toyota ad had me trawling YouTube for a common theme, trying to make sense of why these spots are the way they are. Scroll down to watch the Toyota ad in question as well as a bunch of other examples of Japan's most bizarre car-related ads and see if you can't find the thread that runs between them. Is it just that something's being lost in translation? Have your say in Comments.
