This is a great opportunity to get a rare 1986 Defender 90 V8 that is already stateside, egal, egistered, nd road going bi-daily. These 90 V8's are fairly rare and the trucks are get harder and harder to come by each year and has doubled in value in the past 4 years. This terrific example has been my personal truck for the past three years and has had extensive work done to her. Upgrades: Edelbrock 500CFM (brand new) ($350) Performance flowed intake (brand new) ($295) Piper performance camshaft ($235) Upper half engine rebuild ($2200) Stainless Steel FULL tubular exhaust from the heads to the back ($1325) Dual electric fan upgrade ($210) Brand New Stainless Steel Roof Rack plus ladder ($675) 52"LED Light bar ($250) Philips LED Headlights ($350) New Wheels ($560) Nearly New BF GOODRICH Tires ($800) Total bill for the past year: $7250 plus Servicing completed this past week: 1. Oil change and new filter has been done. 2. Differential Fluid has been changed. 3. Transfer-case Fluid has been replaced. 4. Transmission fluid has been changed. 5. Radiator/Cooling system flushed. 6. All other fluids checked and/or topped off. Results:the upgrades make the car blindingly fast for a Defender, 0-60 in just shy of 7 seconds), ombining it with a great V8 growl. Yes if pushed this one will actually do nearer the 95mph mark, ot that i am recommending that you do so. 100% legally imported and titled in the State of Virginia. Title in hand. Importation documentation comes with the title. Truck gets a lot of attention and people always have a talk when i get out of it. "What you see is what you get" this is our moto as we rather tell you the good and bad and show you an honest truck that has not had bondo rather than try to hide everything under a "NEW PAINT JOB" sceem. For a 29 yr old vehicle it is in good shape. Frame is rot free and not covered in rust, es this has been thoroughly inspected both on the ground and in the air. Very cool and a dead give away to the quality of this car is that the door bottoms are still intact and are original. Corners on the bulkhead, s per usual on all Defenders this age, re bad and should be addressed in the foreseeable future. I do work on these vehicles all the time and the repair cost for this should be around the $1200 mark. Nonetheless, aint and flawless exteriors are not what it's about with this kind of vehicle, s you would buy it for its legendary status and capabilities. I have driven it all over the place and would gladly ship it for you by driving it to you!!! (some compensation is to be expected for time, uel, tc... etc...) In short, very good truck that has been a good friend both here and in Europe. This vehicle is now 29yrs old and as such has the normal expected wear for it's age due to its originality. Please do not come expecting a showroom 90. If that is what you are looking for you are going to pay 60K+ in the USA. That being said, t is a great truck that is the perfect starting point for your own adventure lifestyle. As a local parts supplier in the North American Defender world, e do stock quite a bit of parts that can be purchased separately and a price for installation which can be negotiated. Go explore and live well. |
