Because it says Orvis on it. Some clown with more $$$ than sense will buy it so he can brag about it.
If i win that $249milion powerball today i still wouldnt buy it. Just dumb.
It is a nice truck though.

The check strap brackets are on both sides of the chassis rail (at least on my '73 109)--The bump stop mounts to the bottom of the check strap brackets on each side of the chassis rail.
After buying it, you'd have to take it out on the narrowest, brush-lined muddy trail you could find at Guy Fawkes to REALLY drive everyone bananas (well, except me, that is).
Well I'd love to have $84K free to spend on all of my Rovers . . .
I'd have the 65 109 for the wife, 109 P-up for me, 66' 88 for the woods and probably a nice little plow truck too. My shop would be a lot nicer in FL and there would be a decent barn in Maine too.
Seems like a lot of money. But then again someone out there would be willing to pay it. Someone naive.
Did II-A's have a removable cross member? I thought that was a series III change?
In the series III chassis the axel straps can go on either outside or inside the chassis rail. There are brackets for both options. I guess depending on whether it is a one ton and has the wider axel housing and deeper offset wheels, or if it is the standard 109 with cheese axels.
See where I am going with this? If you look at the chassis in this image, I may be completely wrong and I am sure those who know will tell me, but that galvanised chassis looks like a series III not a II-A.

So as others have said, would make a lovely daily driver. I would call it a rebuild, not a restoration. OME shocks? And that roof liner hasn't been fitted too well.
In this part of the world, umm $6-8 grand. Maybe.
You all like to poke fun, but what do you think it would cost to get a 109 into that condition? And done at professional hourly rates , not at home?
