Toyota Land
Cruiser restoration shop offers this 1974 FJ40. This is a mostly original paint
stock FJ40. I bought this from the original owner’s widow in the rural
mountains of Idaho. The truck had been sitting for 14 years; the owner’s son
did the proper storage by draining all the fluids at that time. I brought this
truck back to life. It spent 11 weeks in my shop going through everything. I
kept it as stock as possible, just adding a newer style FJ40 electronic
ignition system. If you are looking for an honest clean stock uncut original
paint FJ40 and don’t want to spend huge dollars for a perfect restored unit,
this is for you. I used Toyota original parts in what I call a preservation
restoration. This truck is turn-key, daily driving ready. 1974 model year are emissions
exempt in most states including California. This is an investment grade
original truck.
NO RESERVE AUCTION BID TO BUY!!! I have 3 other FJ40’s for sale on eBay right now. Copy and paste or click the link below for pictures of this FJ40. Check out my other builds stock to wild in the library on that link. http://s953.photobucket.com/user/fj40man79/library/1974%20Green%20Kamiah HISTORY I was buying a 78 FJ40 in Idaho when I got a random call from an 89 year old lady asking me if I’m that guy buying Land Cruisers. She lives off the grid and came down to the nearest city of Kamiah Idaho to call me from a payphone (ever see payphones anymore?) She had so much spunk it was funny, she tells me about this FJ40 her deceased husband bought brand new, then is quick to tell me she knows they are worth good money so don’t F*** with her in those exact words. So, I drive to her home, up a 35% incline switch back gravel road with my 40ft gooseneck, ruining 2 tires around 7 miles in the back country. Could not back my trailer out so here we go. Found it, bought it, great lady, pics on the link and last pic is how I bought it at her home. I winched it on my trailer, I was so happy to find this FJ40, never know what to expect with no pictures and a very vague description in the middle of nowhere. Her husband loved this truck and it shows, it was parked in the same spot for 14 years before I got to it. She was so happy with the cash I paid her, she was going to town to get her girlfriend and head to the bingo parlor. I love this part of my job, pleasure to meet great people. MECHANICAL I went through the proper procedure bringing a vehicle back to life after sitting for years. Oiled down the cylinders, let it sit for a few days, rolled it over by hand, rebuilt the original carburetor, removed/sealed gas tank, added a new radiator, and added newer FJ40 electronic distributor and ignition. Fired right up, sounded great. Compression excellent, valves adjusted, runs like a Swiss watch. 4 speed Trans/case operate perfectly. We pulled out all the wheel cylinders/brakes/brake master, replaced all of it. New joints and boots. We rebuilt the front and rear end with all Toyota parts (bearings, seals etc), changed all the fluids. We rewired most of the truck. We spent a lot of time getting this vehicle to a good running/driving state. Brand new complete exhaust system. I added any missing parts from my extensive FJ40 parts collection. We rebuilt anything that needed attention. BODY I recovered the original Toyota front seats. I added new Toyota wheel caps to stock wheels and excellent tread 31.10.50.15 siped mud tires. This is a radio delete model and has the original stereo hole cover. I installed a new windshield and gasket. The exterior body is original paint. I sanded the inside of the tub, sealed/primed/painted as it had surface rust. We distressed the new paint inside the tub to give it that original patina look to match the rest of the vehicle. We buffed out the original paint. Preserving the patina look takes about the same amount of time as a new paint job, could not bring myself to repaint this one, only original once. The underside of the body is undercoated with a thin product that seals very well. We media blasted the wheels/bumper/bumperettes and a few internal body pieces before priming and painting. The body is all original to this truck. I left the sticker on the driver door, if you do not like it, I will take it off and buff it out to match the rest of the paint. The factory dimple spot welds are all evident, you know what you have body wise with original paint/body. Finding stock type FJ40’s is getting extremely hard. The prices on all FJ40’s have gone nuts in the past few years, with the stock types leading the charge. Original paint uncut not rusty FJ40’s in a realistic price range are the easiest vintage vehicle to sell. Projections from everyone in the car world say the values will continue to rise. I scour all types of classifieds, pass out cards in every rural town I’m in, my point is the only luck I have these days are buying from people off the grid whom have owned these for many years. Otherwise they are usually beat up or chopped up being through several owners. People that own good FJ40’s tend to keep them, getting very hard to buy them. This is your chance to own a clean FJ40 that has never been offered on the public market since 1974. I require a $1500 non-refundable deposit immediately after auction conclusion. The rest wire transfer or cashier’s check within 5 days closed auction. I hold a clear clean WA state title in hand for this truck. I welcome 3rd party inspections during the auction, winning is not 1st chance to look. I own Auto Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections so skip me in the phone book. I have a shipping broker whom I trust, will pass his info to you, he only does lower 48, I can get this to Alaska Hawaii or other countries as well. Payment will be made to my business.

Toyota unintended acceleration lawsuit settled for $16M
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Slowly, the many loose threads still dangling after the unintended acceleration issue Toyota faced a few years ago are being resolved. The Orange County District Attorney's office was believed to be the first DA's office to take Toyota to court, its suit alleging that Toyota knew its cars had defects and continued to sell them. The suit sought to "permanently enjoin Toyota from continued unlawful, unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent business practices as it pertains to both consumers and competitors" and asked for $2,500 "for every violation of the Unfair Business Practices Act," plus costs.
That suit has now been settled, Toyota - without admitting fault or wrongdoing - agreeing to pay $16 million to the county. Half of the money will go to the Orange County Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership, another four million dollars to the OC DA's office to investigate economic crime, the remaining four million being used to pay for the case.
MotorWeek remembers retro icons, Supra and NSX
Thu, 16 Oct 2014It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.
Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
