1977 Toyota Fj40 Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Beach Lake, Pennsylvania, United States
|
For sale is a 1977 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. This is an untitled 350/4-barrel conversion project. Since I am unlikely to become a rock crawling enthusiast, I am letting this rig go in order to concentrate on a stock
'77 2F project that I subsequently purchased to restore as my hwy/off-road everyday driver. This FJ arrived as a running project, so I test drove it prior to storing it in a friend's barn for the winter. The front disc brakes, power steering, transmission & 4-wheel drive operated normally. The rig has a high lift intended for rock crawling that more than accommodated the 33 x 14.5 Super Swamper tires seen in the photos. The Swampers have since been parted out and replaced with a set of (4) Cooper Discoverer H/T tires (70%) mounted on stock cygna white OEM wheels. The frame is in excellent condition. The radiator is currently leaking. I will include a replacement OEM 4-core radiator. The tub & cowl alone are worth what I have set the reserve at. It has some minor holes that wouldn't present any problem to an experianced restorer. . To remove the rig from the barn last week (to part out the Super Swampers), I needed carb starter to get it going, but it repeatedly stalled before getting parked. I suspect a fuel filter replacement or carb cleaning is needed. A complete tune-up will eventually be required. If time permits, I will get it running again and you can drive onto your trailer, but be prepared to load it alternatively, e.g., with a come along winch. I will assist with loading. This FJ40 is being offered without a title. Let me be clear, THERE IS NO TITLE WITH THIS VEHICLE. Please Note: eBay did not provide a listing option for an untitled vehicle when formatting this listing. According to the PO owner, he was promised but never received the title from the seller from whom he bought it. Since he was going to continue the build as a rock crawler and planned to trailer it anyway, he didn't follow thru to obtain the NC title.This vehicle DOES HAVE the original vin plate on the driver's side cowl door jamb. Two notarized original bills of sale will be provided to the buyer, so that they can retain an original in the event they attempt to re-title the vehicle and are required to submit an original bill of sale. Please refer to the listing photos for condition details of the parts included (below) in the sale of this project. Parts included: * FG roof with operable moonroof * L & R hardtop side panels * L & R complete ambulance doors w/ hinges * L & R complete front doors w/ hinges * Front bib/grille (modified) * Set of (4) OEM stock TLC wheels w/ Cooper tires mounted on them (70%) * Windshield frame (glass cracked on driver's side) * Roll bar OEM * Stainless steel headers * Mickey Thompson valve covers * Complete NIB wiring harness kit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE FIRST $2500.00 TAKES IT!!!!!! OR $2000.00 (WITHOUT THE AMBULANCE DOORS & ROOF PANEL) ALSO AVAILABLE FOR SALE IS A CLEAR TITLED 1972 FJ40 THAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING PARTED OUT. I WILL CONSIDER PACKAGING BOTH VEHICLES TO THE RIGHT BUYER. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT 516.509.0492 WITH ANY QUESTIONS, OR REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION & ADDITIONAL PHOTOS. |

Toyota discontinuing FJ Cruiser after 2014 model year
Tue, 20 Aug 2013The Toyota FJ Cruiser is not long for this world. According to the manufacturer's own fleet website, the rugged FJ will be discontinued after the 2014 model year, with the companies final orders due in June of next year.
Toyota first launched the FJ Cruiser in 2006 as a 2007 model, and aside from minor year-over-year changes, it has not been substantially updated. The FJ is the modern successor to the original FJ40 Land Cruiser that Toyota produced from the 1960s all the way up through 1984, when the automaker decided to better focus on its larger, four-door Land Cruiser line. Currently, it uses a 4.0-liter V6 engine with either rear- or four-wheel drive, and is available with either a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Interestingly, word of the FJ's demise comes not long after Toyota's US boss, Bill Fay, reaffirmed his company's commitment to body-on-frame trucks in late July.
Also of interest, Toyota's fleet website states that the 2014 model year Prius range will have "minor updates," though it's unclear what those are as of this writing. When Autoblog reached out to confirm these developments with Toyota, spokesman Curt McCallister reminded us, "As is our corporate policy, we don't discuss future products beyond the present or upcoming model year."
Hyundai tops Toyota in annual CarMD Vehicle Health Index
Fri, 06 Dec 2013CarMD has released its third annual Vehicle Health Index, which for the 2013 tracked the frequency and cost of repairs for "check engine" problems of 119-million vehicles built between the 2003 and 2013 model years. For the first two years of the index, Toyota ranked at the top of the list, but this year's results see Hyundai moved to number one, pushing Toyota down a spot.
The Korean automaker's rise to the top has been "fueled by its low repair frequency," according to CarMD. Toyota is second to Hyundai in lowest repair frequency, but Toyotas also have the highest average cost of repair. (Interestingly, General Motors vehicles have the lowest average.) Both Toyota's and Hyundai's manufacturer "health" ratings suffered this year, but Toyota took a bigger hit, which also is what helped Hyundai achieve the top ranking.
While Hyundai is the top manufacturer in the index, the 2012 Toyota Camry is the top vehicle. The best-ranking Hyundai was the 2010 Elantra (behind three Nissan models and four Toyotas), which took the number eight spot. Hyundai has six other vehicles in the top 100.
Oh, Kei Go: Toyota set to enter JDM minicar market?
Fri, 01 Oct 2010Toyota is looking to get bigger... by going smaller. The Japanese automaker is looking to enter the kei car market, a popular segment in its homeland. Kei cars are small vehicles with restrictions on length (11.15 feet), width (4.86 feet), engine size (660 cubic centimeters) and power output (63 horsepower). Currently, Toyota is the only Japanese automaker not producing vehicles for this segment, but that is set to change, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.
Thanks to its relationship with Daihatsu, Toyota can jump right into the kei car game. Daihatsu is one of the largest producer of kei vehicles and it is currently owned by Toyota.
Although kei cars are restricted in terms of size and power, they are not restricted by technology. Automakers utilize different drive configurations, powertrains and amenities to keep their cars fresh. Daihatsu and Toyota plan to work together to produce Toyota-branded kei cars. The two companies will utilize Toyota's knowledge of electric and hybrid systems to produce efficient little vehicles for the Japanese market.
