DEFENDER 130 I might be selling soon

[kellymoe]

After almost 15 years of ownership I am sad that I might be on the verge of selling my favorite truck. It's in the shop right now getting a rebuilt 3.9 installed after the 3.5 just got a little too tired. With my family getting older and trips getting longer and my back getting sorer, is that a word? Anyway I am looking at getting a 4 door Rubicon.
Like I said it's got a 3.9 V8, LT85 Santana 5 speed gear box. Even with the tired old 3.5 it cruised at 75-80 pretty easily so I imagine the new engine will be much better. It also has an Edelbrock intake manifold and Edelbrock carb, Hannibal rack and awning, fold down side cooking and work area, Fairy PTO winch. This truck is a tool, not a jewel and is meant to be used. It always seemed to drive and run best when I treated it the worst and does not like sitting in the driveway for long periods.

If I do make the final decision to sell i will post a full description on the Vehicle For Sale section. My mind is not made up but I wanted to get the word out incase anyone might be interested in it or know someone who is. Send me an email to kevinmokracek@gmail.com if you have any questions.

I wont come up with a price until I get it back from the shop.

Agreed. Never thought I would be able to use this meme in two different threads today.

Do not do it! Don't sell it!!!! I will miss seeing the coolest LR in Burbank.

BTW I was the fellow with the DII that bought that rectangle 20 gal tank from you about four years or so ago.

This particular one could demand ~$35-40k depending on condition. Based on location it is not likely to be very rusty.

North of there. That would be the "I stole it" price range.

I was going to say. . . That would be D90 range around here.

Dang man. Hang on to it! Its cool enough to where its justifiable to keep it.

Based my estimate on RHD V8 127's in rougher shape coming in the low/mid 20's... but you're right without knowing more details about this one it could possibly touch 50.
