1976 Toyota Land Cruiser Base Sport Utility 2-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Dunn, North Carolina, United States
This Landcruiser FJ-40 is a 1976. We purchased it 2000 at an auction and it was in terrible condition. We fixed it and rebuilt the entire thing and it was the vehicle I drove through out the four years of high school. It was the last year that still carried the round grill around the headlights. It also featured the ambulance doors and dual kick vents on both Driver and Passenger sides. I have the fold up frames for the back seats but never got them upholstered. All the windows are original and it has the original 2F straight six engine. The engine was rebuilt and bored 30 over to ensure there was no damage to the cylinder casings. This vehicle also has the original 4 speed plus reverse on the floor manual transmission and transfer case. The aftermarket waterproof carpeting has been installed as well and the headliner has been reupholstered. The mileage on the dash displays 73984, however the engine has less than 25,000 miles since rebuilt and there is no telling how many times that display has reset through out the history of the vehicle. We recently cranked the vehicle with a temporary external gas tank and it runs like new. We even drove it around and everything checks out. If you need more information, I can be reached at (nine one zero) nine eight seven - six seven four nine or at skinnyfigs4@gmail.com

Toyota settles first wrongful death suit related to unintended acceleration
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Toyota's sales seem to have rebounded from the unintended acceleration issues from 2009 and 2010, but the automaker is far from done dealing with this situation. Following a settlement worth up to $1.4 billion for economic loss to affected vehicle owners, Toyota has settled rather than going to trial in a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from an accident in Utah in 2010 that left two passengers dead. This isn't the first case in which Toyota has settled, but it was the first among a consolidated group of cases being held in Santa Ana, CA.
According to The Detroit News, this case was scheduled to take place next month, and it was for a November 2010 incident in which Paul Van Alfen and Charlene James Lloyd were killed in a Camry when, based on findings by the Utah Highway Patrol, the accelerator got stuck causing the car to speed out of control and hit a wall; the terms of the settlement were not announced.
The article says that while Toyota will settle on some cases, it doesn't plan on settling on all of them as it still wants to be able to "defend [its] product at trial." This will probably be the case in suits claiming that software for the drive-by-wire accelerator was the cause of an accident in a Toyota or Lexus vehicle. The question of whether or not the electronic accelerator played any role in this problem has been a hot-button topic since the beginning. Toyota has issued recalls in the past to attempt to prevent unintended acceleration caused by trapped floor mats and faulty accelerator pedals, but it also says driver error was to blame in some instances.
Toyota nears $40B cash reserve as calls grow for new investment, payouts
Wed, 05 Feb 2014With the April 15 tax deadline just a few months away, our US readers will be faced with a decision should they get a refund: save or spend? It seems this issue is one many of us face whenever there's a windfall, trying to decide whether we should set the money aside in an account of some sort or use it as a down payment on a new car or a trip to the Apple store. Unsurprisingly, major corporations face a similar, albeit more complex, issue.
Take Toyota, for example. With President Akio Toyoda at the helm, the Japanese manufacturer has gracefully weathered recalls and natural disasters, all while turning beaucoup profits. Last quarter, profits quintupled to 434.4-billion yen ($4.3-billion USD), according to Bloomberg. Toyota also upped its forecast for the end of fiscal year 2013 (which ends on March 31 for Japan), to a record 1.9-trillion yen (about $18.8 billion). Now, the Japanese brand is reportedly sitting on a cash pile of nearly $40 billion, leaving Toyoda-san in an envious predicament - what should the company do with all that money?
Some think Toyota should be doing something, anything with that big stack of cash.
