A vehicle is only original once. Anyone can write a check to restore something but it’s never quite the same. There are those of us that place the greatest value on largely untouched classics. If you are one of these people, you will appreciate this remarkable Freeborn Red 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 51,200 Kilometers (<32,000) original miles. There are a few things I could have painted, touched up or attempted to refurbish but I did not. What you see here is an original Land Cruiser FJ40 that has seen very little use over the las 34 years.
I call this truck "Colombian Soul" as this Land Cruiser FJ40 was originally from Colombia. She's a remarkable "preservation class" FJ40! You can see every spot weld on this truck and she has all the glory of a rust free survivor, She looks, drives and runs like you would expect from a vehicle with 32,000 miles, pull the choke, turn the key and she bursts to life every time.
She’s not restored, not repainted, not rebuilt. She’s ORIGINAL AND WELL PRESERVED! Here's your chance to own this epic original 1980 Land Cruiser FJ40 that retains her original paint, interior, engine, and drive train. She’s obviously been cared for with devoted attention and nothing has been done to impact the originality other than some great upgrades along the way. Her original paint is in beautiful condition. This is great Land Cruiser, rust free un-restored and pure understated COOL. Just turn the key and the fun begins!

Details & Condition
The floors are all solid and shine with factory paint and the original sound and heat barrier applied by Toyota. The interior is excellent and EVERYTHING works, as it should. The radio is vintage and I assume was installed by the dealer. The A/C blows cold and heater works well, turn signals, hazards, headlight high and low beams, wipers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, odometer, speedometer, fuel, oil, amp and temp gauges all functioning flawlessly. The original upholstery has one tear on the drivers side bolster (pictured) but is otherwise excellent. There are speakers installed in the hard top but they are not connect to an audio source. The working radio speaker is under the front seat.
The truck has 3.70 gears and the H41 transmission with "Granny Low". This FJ40’s suspension, which consists of rugged solid axles and OEM leaf springs at both ends, has a raised stance with 33x7.50 tires. At the back of the truck's frame you will find the factory rear step, flanked by the original bumpettes to assist your passengers who want to climb in back. The MPR hard top has one big swing out door rather than ambulance doors. This provides improved visibility in the rear view mirror. Under it all you will find OEM 16 inch steel gray split rims and hubcaps with AVM locking hubs surrounded by 10 ply General LT 33x7.50 tires that have plenty of life left in them. Hanging on the swing out rear tire carrier is the matching spare tire.
Mileage and Use
All in all, everything is in unbelievable original condition. STUDY THE PHOTOS and WATCH THE VIDEO. High bidder is responsible for pick up or delivery, I will assist in any way I can. I would like a wire transfer within 7 business days please. FJ40’s like this are rare, hard to come by and continue to appreciate if well cared for. I encourage you to call me at (515) 864 1275 and thanks for looking! I reserve the right to end this Auction early, (which is usually what happens). If you know FJ40’s, you know what your looking at and just how few there are like this left. This is an “Investment Grade” Land Cruiser FJ40. 200 Photographs

Toyota close to licensing deal with BMW for fuel cell technology
Wed, 23 Jan 2013For over a year now, we've been hearing about a potential partnership between Toyota and BMW on everything from sports cars to lithium-ion batteries, but one of the first cooperative projects between these two automakers could bring Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology to a BMW vehicle. Reuters is reporting that an announcement is likely to be made as soon as later this week regarding a BMW fuel cell vehicle that could be in production by 2020 with a prototype running around by 2015.
The last we heard of Toyota's fuel cell technology, it was in the FCV-R Concept that we saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, but there is no word how far along in development this system is. If it does come to fruition, such a vehicle for BMW would build on the automaker's commitment to hydrogen that started with the Hydrogen 7, which unlike a fuel cell vehicle, simply ran on hydrogen fuel rather than converting it to electricity for use in motors. We're definitely interested where this Toyota/BMW tie up could be headed.
2015 Toyota Camry ushers in 'sweeping redesign' [w/poll]
Wed, 16 Apr 2014With a dozen years atop the nation's best-selling car charts, you might think that there wouldn't be a lot of incentive for Toyota to rework its Camry, particularly so early in the life of the current model. But despite its unassailable sales totals, the midsize sedan has come in for substantial criticism for its milquetoast dynamics, piecemeal interiors and bland design.
As part of CEO Akio Toyoda's mantra to build more exciting cars, the 2015 Camry has arrived with a fresh new look and content that goes far beyond the Japanese automaker's typically slight mid-cycle redesigns. Featuring some 2,000 new parts, the 2015 Camry casts a 1.8-inch longer shadow and stretches across a widened track (0.4 inches). And it won't be just the widened track that should help deliver a more dynamic performance - Toyota is citing a stiffer chassis thanks to additional spot welds along with a rejiggered suspension, retuned electric power steering and a new two-stage brake booster for improved braking feel.
A new XSE trim promises the sportiest performance yet, including model-specific shock absorbers and springs, stiffer bushings, unique stability control programming and 18-inch wheels to go along with a unique front end treatment featuring mesh grille inserts and a revised fascia.
How Toyota's neighbor delayed 23,000 of its deliveries
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Don't you just hate when your neighbors' mess becomes your problem? Toyota certainly has good reason to be upset, after an dirty mishap at a steel mill delayed thousands of vehicle exports from its nearby port in Nagoya, Japan, (pictured above) by as much as a month.
The messy situation occurred on June 22 when the mill near the port lost power and had to burn off an excess buildup of coke oven gas - which isn't exactly a situation friendly to living beings or the environment. According to Automotive News, it caused a massive amount of smoke to emit from the plant that fell as soot and tar on about 23,000 vehicles that were waiting to be shipped out. Getting the models properly cleaned off has been quite a task. A team of 5,000 workers were at the port until this week getting them gleaming again.
Potential Toyota buyers in North America have no need to fret about getting a sullied car, though. A Toyota spokesperson told Automotive News that none of the vehicles were bound for this continent. The automaker is reportedly considering asking the mill's owners for reimbursement for the cost of the weeks of cleanup. Paying for the mistake is, after all, the neighborly thing to do.
