1969 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 on 2040-cars
Weston, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1969 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with a Chevrolet 350 Throttle Body Fuel Injected V-8. This truck was purchased a few years ago, out of Dallas, TX by the previous owner. That dry climate means it spent its life dry. It is a solid truck and has all original metal. Rust is not a problem with this truck.
The previous owner was a regular at Caffeine & Carburetors (http://) in New Canaan, CT, where the truck drew a strong crowd. Be prepared to get compliments wherever you go ...and stop. The truck is always garaged, both at home and at work, but I drive it daily, so it does have some small blemishes. It was painted Corvette Targa Blue about 2 years ago. The shine has held up nicely so it appears that they did quality work. It was also outfitted with all new emblems from Toyota, new stainless steel hood latches, new windshield latches, and a billet aluminum hood ornament. I’m a big fan of the high-visibility brake light (V8) mounted in the spare. The truck drives smooth and doesn’t behave as you might expect a 44 year-old vehicle to behave. The power steering and power disc brakes at each of the 4 corners make it effortless, smooth, and fun. It shifts easy. It tracks straight. * This truck always starts up: no hesitation; no pumping the gas (fuel injection) * 4WD works great * No structural issues * Engine Mileage: 9,200 Many upgrades: * New master/slave clutch cylinder * New starter * 4 wheel disc brakes * GM power steering * Rebuilt 1974 Toyota 4 speed transmission with a Ranger Torque Splitter for a 27% overdrive on the highway * Rebuilt 1976 4 speed transfer case * Shackle Reversal kit with 2.5" new front springs and 4" rear springs * 4 stock Toyota steel wheels and new hub caps with BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A (33X10.50X15 BFG KM2’s) * Pioneer stereo with auxiliary port * Custom subwoofer in Jerry Gas Can * Custom Gauges * Front Toyota bucket seats recovered with head rests * Center console (Tuffy) with lock system for storage. Included in the sale: * Full hardtop: white top panel with sides painted in matching Corvette Targa Blue * Pair of full hard-doors, painted in matching Corvette Targa Blue * Full custom soft top with bows/frame Potential for inclusion in the sale: * 5 aluminum rims with 4 Futura Dakota RVT (33X12.50X15) * Full second roll-bar * Bikini top w/ zipper-window panel for behind driver/passenger * Pair of full soft-doors (black) * Second vinyl reproduction soft-top with bows * Rear bench seat * Pair of fender flares Issues: * Fuel gauge is not accurate: shouldn’t be hard to adjust the float but I generally just fill it up at 1/2 tank, instead. * Radio is not working but should be easy to fix — haven’t had the time and the engine plays a nice tune. I really hate to sell this truck, and it’s been a difficult decision, but I’m driving further to work these days and it’s hard to justify putting those miles on this kind of vehicle. If I could keep it as a third car, I would. I’m looking to get this truck into the hands of somebody who will give it a good home and will enjoy it as much as I have. I’m hoping for a local sale so I can see it cruising around — maybe making it easier for me to buy it back down the road. Because it’s for sale locally, there’s a chance that I’ll have to end the auction early — without advanced notice or explanation. A lot of money has been put into it by myself and the previous owner. At the opening price, you’d be getting a lot of truck for your money. If possible, I encourage you to come see/drive the vehicle but, if you had to purchase it sight-unseen, you won’t be disappointed. *CLARIFICATION: This vehicle does NOT have a title (but eBay doesn't have an option for title-doesn't-exist). State of CT doesn't require a title for vehicles older than 1981. If your state differs, you can likely get a replacement issued. * Pics @ Flickr * Video @ YouTube * Featured @ Caffeine & Carburetors via GnarlyFaction I will consider all reasonable offers and I will consider trades for late-model Jeep 4-door Wranglers with low miles. I’ll answer any questions as completely and as promptly as possible. Thanks for your interest and good luck in the auction. -M |

Meet the Most Elegant Automobile, and it's for sale
Sat, 08 Jun 2013Alright, so maybe "most elegant" is a bit of a stretch, but we feel safe in calling the 1992 Toyota Paseo in the video below an "automobile." High praise, we know. Still, it's clear someone loves the awkward little coupe enough to produce a hilarious video to sell the thing. Henry Floyd worked up a quick parody of the over-the-top luxury car ads we all know and loathe, and while the finished product is a little skimpy on details like price or location, it certainly doesn't hold back on the exposition.
Hell, if we didn't already have a parade of horrible ideas floating around our collective driveways, we might even be convinced to give this little heap a new home. You can check out the ad for yourself below, just don't be surprised if you find yourself with a burning desire to own a Paseo.
Toyota promises Hybrid-R concept for Frankfurt
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Toyota will be bringing a new concept car to the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. Dubbed Hybrid-R, Toyota says the concept will feature the same Toyota Hybrid System-Racing tech found in the automaker's latest endurance car, the TS030 Hybrid.
That car took second place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with a gas-powered, 3.4-liter, naturally aspirated V8 and a capacitor-based hybrid system. The result was 530 ponies from the engine and an extra 300 horsepower from the electric motor and batteries.
Toyota's press release came with but one image, a new Hybrid badge which is a far cry from the Hybrid Synergy Drive label found on the automaker's other offerings. There's really not much else to go on yet, but the news that Toyota is already adapting its racing tech for a concept bodes well for the future of exciting, hybridized offerings from the automaker. We'll be at Frankfurt live, and will be sure to bring you all the news on this new concept as it becomes available.
2014 Toyota 4Runner
Fri, 02 Aug 2013I recently took the redesigned 2014 Toyota 4Runner for a muddy romp in Pennsylvania. While the mechanical bits and pieces beneath the body-on-frame SUV trudge forward into the new model year with very few tweaks, the truck "receives a rugged new exterior design and interior refinements that add comfort and convenience without sacrificing its hallmark performance capability and excellent value," says the automaker.
A quick visual scan of the 4Runner reveals a new front end with a more "aggressive" and "muscular" appearance (yes, I'm quoting Toyota) that includes new headlights, grille and hood scoop. A roof rack is now standard across all trims, too. While SR5 and Trail grades have a bland color-keyed grille insert that gives the face a monochromatic appearance, the range-topping Limited (shown above and in our gallery) snarls with a silver-plated chin that gives it a bit more character.
New soft-touch surfaces within the cabin provide a more upscale environment and a bright new Optitron instrument panel improves readability and functionality. As before, the SR5 and Trail models arrive with fabric upholstery or optional Softex seats (synthetic leather). Genuine hides are reserved for the Limited trim, which is also fitted with Toyota's unique X-REAS (X-Relative Absorber System) automatic suspension system as standard equipment.
