1967 SIIa 109 SW #663A

I have a 1967 SIIa 109 SW that lives on Bainbridge Island, Washington. It was a 2.6 6cyl without an engine when I bought it 1998ish. I put in a 250 chevy and have been fairly happy with it. VIN ends with #663A.

The story I was given when I bought it as that it was used in the 1968 Mexico Olympics as a film camera truck. It had a crazy big front bumper with mounting points and (4) 2 inch holes drilled through the sun sheet on the perimeter of the roof. Presumeably, these were for the camera platform where the film cameramen stood. It was originally all tan and had been sprayed with black paint so I repainted it dark green with a tan top. It has an A at the end of the VIN which I am not sure of and it has a small (4inch) cast aluminum oval tag on the rear with "CD" on it. I was told this stands for "Corp Diplomatique." Any clues if this is true or a load of crap.

Not sure yet. it's the next project in line. Hopefully in a couple of weeks. assuming that the top of the motor is tired and will need care but won't know till we start to run some tests and tear it down. i'll keep you informed. Thanks all.

Thanks for the leads on parts Pat.

1967 109 Green with Ford 300 - 6 Cyl,

Hi,

Just posted on another thread about my former 109 with a Ford 300 EFI that I installed in the late 80's.

If anyone knows where it is, hopefully it can make it on to the NADA Registry.

Last seen in San Luis Obispo County, Calif., ca. 1990

Regards,

CCEC

You might also want to compare Grundy with Hagerty. Very similar price wise, but they differ on requirements and restrictions. I think they're both good companies but the differences may fit different situations(read usage) better.

Hey,
I have been restoring my 1967 NADA for the past three years. It is number 246; red with cream top. At some point in the past someone changed the 2.6L for a 4.2L GM inline six. The truck runs very smooth and has great power with the GM engine. I want to get my car insured soon with classic insurance. Does anyone know what a very nice NADA model is worth? I want to insure it for replacement value.
Thanks

Welcome to the registry Evan! I'll try to get all updated soon on the first page list. I'm sure someone will chime in on replacement value. I'd suggest looking at Hagerty Insurance.

Parts supplier

I used pierre janusz from RPS in london for all my NADA 6 parts. Dont have his contact handy, but you can look him up on line probably. If not, shoot me an email and I can dig up his email addy.

Welcome Aboard Pete and Debbie; I am the original owner of 717. When the Unit was brand new, parts had a long lead time. Today you will discover that most original part numbers have changed. You will also discover that Land Rover Dealers, and Parts Suppliers, do not have most NADA Engine Parts. The NADA Engine is the Engine used in the Rover P4 110. This 2.6L engine was discontinued in 1964 or there-abouts, and a 3L version was introduced. Some parts are not interchangeable between the 2.6L and the 3L. I have been having my unit restored from the ground up for several years. Delays have been caused by the need to find Parts. I'll be happy to answer questions and provide sources. My eMail address is redbrush2@yahoo.com. I'll do everthing I can to help you keep your unit original.

Thanks Gale and Jim.
I got a couple of the same type of responses from another thread, so I'm thinking it's original. I like the idea of using a ball peen hammer to check for thin spots. I'll be hammering on it the next time I get time to crawl under it.
Thanks again.

I agree with Gale. You are in possession of the Original Frame. My Restoration Manual is in the hands of the Shop doing the work, so I can't provide the Title, Publisher, nor an exact quote without going to the shop. (I'll do so if you ask). As I recall the manual suggests you take a ball-peen hammer to the low spots in the frame. By "Low Spots" I refer to where water would settle in the frame as the vehicle sat at rest. If you have a frame problem the hammer will locate it if you hit all of the low spots. Good luck, Jim Chandler (patrickfoley1)

I'm probably 6 months from having 717 Road Ready. How are the members of our Forum Handling the Insurance for a NADA Unit?

Kinda doubt anyone would have stamped a replacement frame. It is possible it's the original frame, it all depends on where the PO lived, where and when he drove it, how thoroughly he washed it. and so on.
