Toyota Land Cruiser on 2040-cars
Macon, Georgia, United States
The rarest of the rare medium wheelbase 40 series Land Cruisers. The only model with a forward facing rear bench seat. Being a 1981 BJ44V, this is the preferred late model cruiser with front discs, factory a/c, incredible L-Package (aka LX Package) cloth with vinyl interior, 4spd transmission, and the very rare cabin controlled factory PTO winch. Further L-Package compents are the white steel wheels, chrome grill and bumpers, and chrome license plate lights. This rig has spent 99% of it's life with the owner of a resort hotel on Lake Akan in Hokkaido Japan. The doors still have the pre-delivery plastic covering the door cards, the floors are covered in custom cut and stitched plastic and carpet on top of it. The factory matting is under that and the pristine floor below it. All seats have full seat covers that may or may not be Toyota items but they are definitely vintage. This is why this truck is in the amazing condition along with it's very limited use. We were advised it was used as a snow plow and likely ferried guests to some choice spots near the lake. Finding any 40 series Land Cruiser, be it a FJ40 or FJ45 etc..., in this amazing original condition is almost unheard of. Although production numbers are unknown, the BJ44V was only produced from 1980-1982 based the information available. The Freeborn red paint is in fantastic shape as is the 033 white on the roof. There are a few very small touch-ups mostly along the drip rail. The chassis has been painted in places but was applied as preventative protection rather than to cover up rust/corrosion. This vehicle is likely one the cleanest most original land cruisers left. The local Atlanta Land Cruiser specialists, ACC Toyota, made the same determination. Noting there are rubber flaps around the radiator and other components that are rarely found intact let alone in the "time warp" condition as on this truck. Actual VIN is BJ44004631 and is too short for eBay. Vehicle will be sold with the following documentation. Original manual with service records.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains
Wed, 21 May 2014If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
Watch a Camry driver in full road rage
Mon, 29 Apr 2013There are vehicles that, fair or not, will forever be associated with jerky drivers. But as this very recent footage from an in-car camera shows, even the most mundane of sedans can be piloted by an ass.
In this video, the driver of one very beige Toyota Camry is driving like a person choked with rage. Though we don't see which (if any) actions by our camera car might have lead up to the tirade, we do see the Camry driver swerving from lane to lane, in multiple attempts to get in front of and brake check the couple in the recording.
According to the text associated with the YouTube video, the offending incident took place last week, on a section of I-880 near Fremont, CA. The uploader has gone so far as to include the date, time and license plate number of the Camry driver, in hopes, we guess, that some kind of legal action can be taken against him. Take a closer look for yourself in the video below.
