Maybe things are looking up for us guys. A ton of bids, and its up to over 19k.

Its a nice truck, with a bunch of new parts. Nothing special though, and certainly not an original resto attempt. Looks like a lot of the galvy as been sprayed silver.

Let the critiquing begin!

Seeing this go up to 19,600 makes me wonder what I can get for mine. Jac put your lightweight up for sell! I wanna see how high it will go!

Travis - saw this the other day and almost posted too. hard to believe the current bidding...and reserve not met yet? cruise-azy.

Wow that is a lot of $$-and I hope he get's it!

I think that is the first door plate I've seen, when did they start putting those on?

[greenmeanie]

I don't have the exact date but the ddor plate came in on the Late IIA. Federal regs.

Tempting, but I'm not sure about going the e-bay route. If someone is seriously looking for a Lightweight like mine, I'm sure they'll find me.

I saw that SIIA while cruising on e-bay yesterday. It's a nice looking vehicle, and I'm curious to see what that level of quality brings for a price. Now, am I seeing things, or does the paint on the rear tub and bulkhead not match the rest?

I was going to post the same exact question after seeing the ebay pictures....

My 72 was born in Feb...it has the door plates too. So, at least we know that June '71 they could be staples

Its not real. I've seen this a thousand times. A few minutes with PhotoShop and one of the "Rovers waiting to be rescued" pics and you wind up with a resto-Rover like this. Unscrupulous folks make millions from schemes like this.

Notice any oil leaks? Ya, me neither.
Does the ad describe any squeeks? Noooope.
CD changer? Mounted under the seat? Blasphemy!
And whats up with the red master cylinder? Did my Green Bible lead me astray?

I'm going back to counting my rivets and checking to see if there is any more beer in the cooler.

What have some of you put into your rovers? Ebay is a free market place, if it sells great for him or her. You get pleasure in dissing some LR owner that probably has more than that spent on the rover? I just don't get it.
