1973 Toyota Land Cruiser - FJ40 upgraded with a 2F motor and 4-speed transmission!! And...

I'm selling one of my projects! Here's the story. I bought this FJ40 with the idea of restoring it. It has tons of upgrades and would be a very simple and fast restoration. However, i'm smack in the middle of a different restoration and can't take on another project. The foundation for this restoration is in place and ready to go.

Here's a few of the key items that enhance this project:

2F motor. Less than 5,000 miles have been put on the vehicle since the motor swap.
4-speed transmission.
New clutch.
Alpine XM Radio.
Newly rebuilt windshield wiper motor.
New SOR rear quarter panels - welded in the rear tub and the body work is complete on these!
Brand new OME (Old Man Emu) springs, bushings, lift, and shocks.
OME shocks.
OME steering stabilizer.
Shackle/perch reversal.
Brand new SOR rims.
Brand new hubcaps.
Knuckle rebuild on drivers and passenger side.
SOR dash cap.
Custom spare tire carrier.
Man-A-Fre distributor upgrade.
All new electrical lights, side marker lights, headlights and signals.
Brand new BFG MT's 33x10.50 x 15 - set of five tires.
Brand new window gaskets for the hardtop windows.
All gauges, windows,etc are in working condition.
Fresh paint (see note below).

Current condition:

The hard parts of this restoration are done. Now the only thing left is the body work on the hard top sides, some spots on the front doors, front fenders. The interior is painted black and in my opinion should match the green exterior. The cruiser runs amazing and does NOT drip oil or smoke. Runs like a swiss watch. Drives tight.

Brakes:

This cruiser has drum brakes on the front and pulls to the right. Simple fix - replace the drivers side cylinders.

I've disclosed everything I know about this FJ40. It is in amazing mechanical shape and just needs a little TLC in the way of body work. Given the upgrades it will easily be a $25K+ valued vehicle when it's done.

Conditions of Sale:

I reserve the right to end this auction early since it's for sale locally. Please call or text me with questions. Emails will be answered as I get to them. I require a $1000 non-refundable deposit via wire transfer, cashiers check or cash. After I receive the wire transfer, I will FedEx overnight the title to you. After you receive the title you need to submit the balance of funds due by wire transfer, cash, cashiers check. ABSOLUTELY NO PAYPAL. They only protect the buyer.

I'm happy to hold the vehicle for a week or two while you arrange to come get it or ship it.

2014 Toyota Camry to get 'significant' attention?

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

With competition from Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan mounting, Toyota is getting set to unveil a refreshed version of its Camry sedan a mere two years after it was fully redesigned.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Toyota's move to freshen the still young Camry comes as it seeks to retain its US sales crown in the midsize segment. That desperation has lead to increased incentives and fleet sales in a bid to keep its title, all while trying to keep pace with a slew of very competent competitors.
"It's safe to say we'll be doing something with it," Bill Fay, group vice president of the Toyota brand in the US, told Bloomberg during last week's LA Auto Show. "We'll be paying significant attention to Camry next year."

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

So 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.
