Rare Left Hand Drive 1984 Fj45 Troop Carrier on 2040-cars
Norfolk, Virginia, United States
Rare Left Hand Drive 1984 FJ45 Troop Carrier Please note that the VIN # in the description above is not for this car. EBAY's system was not recognizing the actual VIN. See picture of the vehicle's title with VIN #. This Left Hand Drive Troopy is registered in Virginia. I
bought the truck almost ten years ago and have been working on it off and on
since. The tub has had all bad metal cut out and replaced. The wheel wells, in
order to make more space in the back for forward seating, were shortened on the
inside of the vehicle and original Toyota wheel well panels were put back in.
The inside of the tub is fully line-xed as well as the underside and firewall. It is painted in an original Toyota color from the 1960s
called Horizon Blue. The color code is T808. Of course, the new owner can
change the color. Due to being in storage over the last year, the paint has
several scratches. I have some of the paint left, but it can be ordered at any
auto paint supply store. I have gathered extensive parts for the rebuild of this
vehicle. I have all window seals, all glass, and window hardware. The front and
back doors have all new mechanicals and regulators. I have a 1984 Head Rest
Roll bar. Also, the vehicle has installed a brand new, never used,
Toyota OEM speedometer and an original never used 1984 FJ40 Steering Wheel.
Both items were secured in the Middle East from a dealership that was selling
off its old Toyota parts. I also have a rare front 2/3 OEM Split Bench which
will need to be upholstered. New Fenders as well. The Fiberglass Top is in good shape,
but it not perfect. New owner may want to replace outside metal ring if you
want perfect, but otherwise it is usable right away. Frame has been worked on and gusset and a couple of mounts
replaced. It is in great shape. Please note, I have no mechanicals, that part you will have to source yourself. The vehicle is not perfect, and I would not say it is
“showroom.” But it is solid and is ready for someone else to take over, I have
too may other projects and not enough time to finish this out. There are other parts as well, and please call if you have
any questions. 757-375-5890. Thanks. |

Toyota reveals new versions of FT-1 concept at Pebble Beach [w/video]
Thu, 14 Aug 2014Toyota certainly caught our attention when it unveiled the FT-1 concept at the Detroit Auto Show last January. Coming from the same people who gave us the Lexus LFA, Scion FR-S and Toyota Supra, the FT-1 concept looked striking in its bright red livery. But the Japanese automaker isn't quite done with it yet.
No, we're afraid we don't have a production announcement to share at the moment, but Toyota has revealed two new versions of the FT-1 concept that cast it in different light. Most notable is the graphite version pictured above. Replacing the bright red paintjob and two-tone red and black interior of the original concept, this second iteration - presented in the metal at McCall's Motorworks Revival in Monterey, California - goes for a more upscale and refined graphite exterior and a tan leather interior with exposed metal elements.
Both versions of the virtually road-going FT-1 concept will be playable in GT6, but at the same time Toyota also revealed (in digital form, at least) a virtual racing version of the concept called the FT-1 Vision Gran Turismo. Looking like the original concept was prepared for Japan's Super GT series, the FT-1 Vision GT is retuned for racing, with wider fenders, more extreme aero, competition-spec alloys on slicks and the like.
Union to launch Toyota organization drive in Canada
Sun, 12 Jan 2014Toyota may be heading toward some labor issues in the Great White North, as employees at a pair of Canadian Toyota factories may be set for a certification vote. The Unifor union, which was the result of a merger last year between the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union, will be holding the vote.
Over 40 percent of the employees at the Woodstock and Cambridge, Ontario factories have signed union cards, cresting the minimum percentage required to instigate a legal certification vote, according to Reuters. The Woodstock factory is responsible for RAV4 production, while Cambridge builds the Lexus RX350 and RX450h, as well as the Toyota Corolla. The two factories employ nearly 7,000 people.
It's unclear when the union will hold a certification vote at the two factories, but what is rather clear are the worker complaints. Employees are concerned about workers being hired on temporary contracts which lack the benefits of full employment, John Aman, head of organizing for Unifor, told Reuters.
Spongebob Squarepants Toyota Highlander gets Tanked in Vegas
Thu, 07 Nov 2013In 2006, I bought a Scion xB (the super upright, first-generation one), and I always had this wild dream of turning the xBox into an aquarium after it had run its course in my personal test fleet. Long story short, that never happened. But apparently the folks at Toyota got wind of my idea - only, well, this isn't exactly what I had in mind.
Let's just start at the beginning here. This is a 2014 Toyota Highlander - you know, the redesigned one that bowed in New York earlier this year. I haven't driven it yet, but I'm sure it's plenty nice and will appeal to all sorts of families. Families with kids. Kids who like cartoons. Cartoons like Spongebob Squarepants.
Which brings me to our next talking point: the collaboration between Toyota and Nickelodeon for the Spongebob-themed wrap that covers every inch of this Highlander. This isn't the first time we've seen the yellow cartoon sponge on a Highlander - Toyota unveiled a differently wrapped version earlier this year - but this one features more of an aquatic, under-the-sea sort of theme. Perfect, considering the main point of this crossover's reason for being at SEMA.
