1980 – Pac Man is introduced. CNN becomes the first 24hrs News Station. Post-It Notes are invented. Meanwhile, Toyota Motors introduced its best Land Cruiser yet. For a half-century, over a million Land Cruisers have traversed paths from the South Pole to the Sahara. What are you waiting for?

The best word to describe this 1980 Mustard Yellow FJ40 is definitely "ORIGINAL". I can't tell you about the restoration because there hasn't been any restoration. You're bidding on a Beautiful, One Owner, Numbers Matching, Original, Documented 1980 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser with 35K original miles. It has Power Steering AND Air Conditioning which makes this a pretty darn rare and sought after Land Cruiser.

Original paint, frame, body 2F Motor, 4-Speed Transmission, factory-original AM radio, interior, gauges, seats, doors, door panels, glass, fenders, floors, tub, hood, top, bumpers, etc. This rust-free FJ40, looks, runs and drives excellent, never repainted, never restored, always cared for, garaged and maintained. EVERYTHING is in good working order. The original wheels were swapped for white spokes but we have the original wheels and two of the original tires.

Motor

Pop this venerable FJ's hood and you'll find an original 135 horsepower 2F six cylinder which looks and runs great! Based on General Motor's stalwart Stovebolt Six, Toyota's famous overhead valve mill has certainly proven its ability to get this compact 4x4 out of many tight situations and tow just about any moderately sized toy its owners can imagine. The owner swapped the carburetor for a Holley carb but we have the original carb. She comes with headers but we have the original exhaust manifold too.

Body / Drivetrain / Suspension

With only 35,000 miles on vehicle, it's not surprising that the body is in excellent condition and the original Mustard Yellow paint still shines. The truck received professional rust proofing when new and that explains the fantastic condition. The fender flares are attached from under the wheel wells and can be easily removed. The suspension is stock and original. as is the drive-train. This FJ40 has factory Power Steering which makes it effortless to drive and the tall 3:70 gear ratio provides more top end speed.

This old school SUV offers four wheel drive and enough ground clearance to get over obstacles. The truck's original 4-speed manual transmission serves up an awesome combination of off-roading prowess. Front disc and rear drum brake combination will bring all you to a quick and uneventful stop.

This Toyota's suspension consists of rugged solid axles and leaf springs, shackels and coil over shock absorbers at both ends. At the back of the truck's frame you will find bumperettes flanking a hitch for light towing. Under it all you will find 15 inch white spokes with new 31x10.5 R15LT and Warn hubs.

Summary

Other than described, this is an unmolested, factory-original FJ40, with very few flaws, in remarkable condition for its age. The bottom of this clean Toyota is exactly what you should expect from a lightly used original, you will find a dusting of dirt on the frame. While this Land Cruiser is exceptionally nice, it's not something you should be afraid to get dirty.

Inside this iconic Land Cruiser you'll find a spacious and comfortable driving environment that has enough room to be your vehicle of choice for weekend adventures. The firm front, and folding opposing rear seat are wrapped in high quality OEM vinyl covers. Heavy duty OEM rubber floor mats in front and back. In front of the driver, a perfect dash pad, clear gauges and controls for the truck's accessories. Between the front passengers, two simple black shifters, one for the 4-speed transmission and one for the four-wheel drive system. The space between the front seats you will find the OEM center console. Connecting the driver to the road is a factory issue steering wheel which spins around the vintage "Toyota" emblem. The sale of this FJ40 includes the factory tool kit, jack, jack rods, touch up paint cans and owners manual. There are no dents, dings or damage to the body and no rust. The interior is flawless as well. The color is the original Toyota Mustard Yellow (paint code 532).

The 2F engine is strong and smooth and runs excellent. The body and frame are free of rust. The floors are all solid, rust free and clean! All turn signals, lights, wipers, washers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers and all gauges work perfectly. Original seat upholstery, headliner and both interior door panels are in beautiful condition.

The quality of this FJ40 is extreme. You will be unable to drive it without numerous waves, smiles and thumbs up! High bidder is responsible for pick up or delivery, I will assist in any way I can. I would like a wire transfer within 5 business days.

This is one very cool SUV that's still every bit as functional today as it was in when it drove off the showroom floor. It's very tight, rattle free and is quite and capable. It's the kind of cool piece that would be right at home parked at your favorite Friday night dive next to other vintage cars, or perched on a mountain conquering your latest Saturday afternoon adventure. If you're looking for a cool classic that's fun, unique and ready to hit the road, this is it! A super nice, original Land Cruiser that you will instantly fall in love with once you're behind the wheel. I encourage you to call (515) 864-1275 with any questions and thanks for looking! I reserve the right to end this auction early, which is usually what happens.

Toyota GT86 CS-R3 rally car presages for-sale customer racecar

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

Rallying may enjoy a very strong association with all-wheel drive, but it wasn't so long ago that the World Rally Championship was populated by cars that slipped and slid across gravel and tarmac using rear-wheel drive. One of those was the Toyota Celica. While the little Celica eventually joined the gravel-spewing masses with an all-wheel-drive rally car, Toyota is returning to its rear-drive rally roots with a modified version of the critically acclaimed GT86.
Called the CS-R3, the new model boasts all the necessary changes to turn the diminutive twin of the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ into a car capable of tackling the tough, twisting paths that are so routinely conquered by the world's rally cars. That means, of course, the CS-R3 has gotten a power bump.
Expected output sits between 240 and 250 horsepower, thanks to a new racing exhaust and manifold, as well as other changes. The ECU has been replaced with an item a bit more suited to racing, while the compression ratio has also been adjusted to boost the output.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

2014 Toyota Corolla and Tundra production underway

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

After months of leaked photos and speculative reports, Toyota finally unveiled its 2014 Corolla to the world in early July at a star-studded California party. The confetti has been swept up and the champagne flutes washed and stored, and now the real work can begin: production. Toyota has announced that its new C-segment player has begun rolling off the lines at its plants in Mississippi and Ontario, Canada this week ahead of the planned start of sales in September. What's more, the refreshed 2014 Tundra pickup has also segued into production in San Antonio, Texas.
Corolla production in Mississippi is still a relatively recent phenomenon, with the plant having begun assembly of the outgoing model in the fourth quarter of 2011, while Toyota's Cambridge, Ontario plant has been churning out the compact volume king since 1988. Conversely, the Tundra has been in production at the Texas facility since 2006, and Toyota projects that the plant will build its milestone one-millionth new vehicle in September, right around the time the reworked fullsize pickup goes on sale.
