    Default Rover 109 V6 Vortec, 5 speed transmission, Salsbury, restored...

    Second time I have posted this... It is a '68 IIA 109 that was completely frame off restored about 6 years ago. Also had a '96 Vortec V6 installed and Toyota H55F transmission and FJ60 era split case transfer case. Salsbury axle with ARB, good suspension and brakes. Alpine Roof. Will have brakes gone through (been sitting about a year) and new gas tank prior to sale... Needs clutch (works but has some vibration, spring might have come out of clutch disk), and it has a slow battery drain so a PO installed a battery master shut off switch. Also needs a head liner. Has two good heaters in the front so pretty good even over winter.. Was driven one winter since resto by PO, so it has light surface rust on frame. 33x12.5 tires MT tires with about 60% on them or so...

    Will take $22K as is, $30G completely gone through, entirely new wiring (no drain), new clutch, head liner, possibly return back to stock gauges, frame/axles/suspension etc sand blasted, and turn key ready to go... As is runs/drives/tracks great, goes 80mph great, best of both worlds, good old school truck with a modern drive train...

    EDIT now taking offers on this...

    Thanks Steven...

    Forgot location: Park City/Heber City Utah.
    30-45 minutes from Salt Lake City International airport for any potential long distance buyers.

    I can deliver good safe reliable condition that should make it anywhere in the states I imagine upon receipt... Also forgot to mention, the whole drivetrain probably has less than 20K miles on it and it was all new when installed...

    Got to admit I am drooling over it. Too bad the PO didn't put in on an ECR coil suspension frame while he was doing a frame off resto!

    There is a local real estate company this is developing a big high end project called Red Ledges. A friend who shares my shop with me works for them, they were all over for a project of theirs (using our space) and sought it out and are interested in possibly buying it at the $30G price tag.. We'll see if it goes through...

    I haven't been too aggressive about trying to sell it, I have actually only listed it here...
