1977 Toyota Land Cruiser Fj40 Landcruiser Trades Financing Original Trade-in on 2040-cars

Year:1977 Mileage:57608 Color: has some rust as shown on the body and rear of the cab
Location:

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

Up for grabs is this rare 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.  This FJ is in excellent mechanical shape, and I just had it fully tuned-up, to include all new fluids, new spark plugs, wires, etc, and also a new fuel filter.  At the same time, I had a compression test performed-all cylinders were within 5psi of 150 psi, this 2F motor is very strong.  The Land Cruiser starts up very easily, and I have been using this as a daily driver on both city streets and the highway with no problems.  I rarely have to use the choke, it starts that easily!  Brakes are tight are work very well.  The four speed transmission shifts easily, the clutch is strong, and while older, it does have plenty of "pep" to keep up with traffic.    

Interior is also in good shape, as all of the gauges are fully functional, the wipers work, and so do the turn signals!  The radio is present, it may not be original, and it is not functional at present.  The seats are in brand-new shape, and have clearly been recovered.  The heater is present for both the front and the rear, and appears to be complete (although I have not tested it).  Rear jump seats are included with the vehicle.  

Obviously, the exterior has some rust as shown on the body and rear of the cab.  However, it is not nearly as bad as some of the Land Cruisers I have had, and everything is easily fixable.  Tires have plenty of tread, spare is covered by a modern FJ Cruiser wheel cover; original wheels and hub caps appear to be in good condition.  Since these photos have been taken, I replaced the brake light covers with new pieces.  I know that it does not have ambulance doors presently, but this could be easily remedied.  The front bumper is new, as is the grille guard.  I will include rear bumperettes with the sale.  

Please feel free to ask any questions BEFORE the end of the auction, my cell phone is 615-300-6004.  

I am a licensed dealer located in Nashville, TN; my main focus is Toyota Land Cruisers and other vintage SUV's/4x4's, and this is a great example of an FJ that can be purchased for an affordable price and driven as-is and/or restored.  In addition to the purchase price, there is a $199 doc fee, .03% Nashville city tax, and a $25 fee to send the title to you via FedEx.  

I can assist with financing for this FJ, please contact me directly for details. 

I will take trades on a case-by-case basis, please contact me directly to discuss.  

I can also assist with delivery of this FJ to you anywhere in the United States or internationally (buyer to pay all shipping fees), please provide your zip code for the most accurate quote.  

Again, please ask any and all questions before the end of the auction.  Please confirm with your spouse/partner/child/pet/religious leader that you are serious about purchasing this vehicle BEFORE bidding AND that you have the sufficient funds in place to pay for this FJ40.  Again, I am available to answer questions on 615-300-6004 or via eBay.  

We accept the following forms of payment: Cash, Cashier's Check, Wire Transfer (small fee applies), and Credit/Debit Cards (3% swipe fee applies).  I will release the title only after all of the outstanding balance has been collected; if paying by check, title will be sent separately after seven (7) business days.  The FJ will be sold with a thirty day temporary tag.  I will send the title to the buyer via FedEx.  

This is a great driving truck with a ton of potential that is ready for immediate duty as a daily driver.  The reserve is set VERY low for an FJ40, please do not contact me to disclose the reserve price.  This vehicle is also listed for sale on Rockstar Motorcars.  

Thanks!

Toyota expects hybrids will soon reach 20-percent sales volume globally

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Hybrids have come quite a long way from their roots as dull, slow, boring ecomobiles. Today, Porsche sells three hybrid models, one of which is the amazing 918 Spyder. BMW will soon sell four, including a low-slung, two-seat sports car. Even Ferrari and McLaren, full-fledged hypercar manufacturers, are embracing the tech. And all of these cars are sold alongside the same sort of boring cars that popularized hybrids in the first place. According to Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada, though, we should see an even bigger increase in the number of hybrid vehicles in the coming years.
"I foresee hybrid models pretty soon reaching 20 percent of global sales from about 13 percent to 14 percent now," Uchiyamada-san told Automotive News. Uchiyamada is the man behind the original Prius, which gives him some degree of authority on making predictions about hybrid adoption.
What's remarkable, though, is that the 20-percent figure doesn't include plug-in hybrids, just gas- and diesel-electric models. "Suppliers need higher volumes to slash costs of components specific to plug-in models, including batteries that should be bigger and more capable than the ones used in traditional hybrids," Uchiyamada told AN.

Toyota Hilux successor spotted

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

The midsize truck segment is suddenly seemingly exploding with new vehicles worldwide, even here in North America. Not only will the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon be available very soon, Toyota is already testing a replacement for its aging Tacoma and Honda has promised a Ridgeline replacement within the next 18 months. Also, the recently shown Nissan Navara is said to portend the future of our Frontier. Here's some more fresh evidence from Europe of this pickup boom with the next generation of its venerable Hilux in testing.
Thanks to Top Gear and sometimes the evening news, the Hilux has built a reputation of being able to go just about anywhere. According to out spy shooter, this particular pickup was spotted during hot weather testing in southern Europe. Interestingly, a Volkswagen Amarok was along for the ride as a benchmark. Because the VW tends to offer a bit more comfort than the generally utilitarian Hilux, this could indicate Toyota is considering taking the new truck in a slightly comfier, more refined direction.
Compared to the current model, this camouflaged tester sports a narrower front grille and headlights. The hood scoop is also absent here. The lower air dam also receives a more horizontal look, but the more vertical fog light housings provide some contrast. The crazy camouflage pattern makes things hard to discern at the rear, but the taillights appear to be more slender than they on the current model. Unfortunately, mechanical details about the new truck remain a mystery at the moment, but enjoy these spy shots as a preview of one more upcoming pickup.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
