1966 Red 109" Series IIA NADA SW #318 - SOLD
Moving to the UK soon, want to try to sell my Land Rover before I take off, or else I'll drive it back up to Oregon for storage.
This used to be owned by a guy up in Washington state, then was sold to my father in 1995, where it served as a farm vehicle up in the high desert of central Oregon. I took over it after we sold the farm in 2005 and drove it down to Berkeley, CA where it has been living since.
Has a straight 6 chevy 250 engine with a rochester monojet carburetor in it. Fairey overdrive installed, Salisbury rear diff, upgraded windshield wiper motor, some newly installed dash gauges, and a bunch of manuals and extra parts/fluids/tools including a brand new carburetor (holley). There is an extra fan in front of the radiator that is operated by a dash switch to aid in cooling, too.
There's some rust in the usual places, some on the firewall, and the original red paint is a bit chippy, the springs are old and there's a tiny dent in the chassis from the spring hitting it. I'll have more detailed pictures soon. Cosmetically, she could use some work, interior parts are old and ragged, paneling/rubber is coming off at parts, and the channels for the windows are rusty. The front seats have been recently upholstered, but the rear seats could use some work. Back step rusted off as well, she's definitely old, but not horribly rusty. Also one of the front parking light bulbs is dead, I bought the wrong replacement. All the rest of the brake/tail and signal lights are new.
Mechanically she runs fine, can hit 55-60 on the freeway, but can be a bit loud. Just had major service done at West Coast British in Livermore and can provide the details of that service. Has a small leak in the muffler, drive shaft U-joints are a bit worn, but she starts right up and drives well. Have taken her on long road trips up and down the coast. Fairly new tires with good tread. Recent maintenance by myself or others includes new distributor points & condenser, new spark plugs, new hub caps, new bearings/seal in rear wheel, carb and engine tuning, new fuel filter, and the major service at WCB.
I had planned to upgrade a lot on the truck, but am moving, so I will either sell you the extra parts (4bbl holley carb, offenhauser 4bbl intake manifold, spacer/riser, front shoulder seat-belts, hella lights, and more) or sell them via craigslist/ebay if you are not interested.
I'll have more information/pictures available very soon, please pm/email me with questions or if you are interested, thanks!
