For Sale - 1966 Land Rover Series IIA - $42,000 OBO
This is a stunning example of a classic Series IIA Land Rover, with its original charm. It's an extremely reliable daily driver, and by British standards it is exceptional indeed. It has the original 2.25L gas engine, which has been overhauled (.030 over) and runs remarkably well. The upgraded 2 barrel carburetor and air intake provide an additional touch of power up hills and on highways. Vintage Land Rovers do not have a reputation for speedway cruising, but this Series IIA will comfortably do 65 mph. A few hours on the highway to get to your favorite off-road trail is not an issue whatsoever. This truck comes alive on the trail, where it was designed to be driven and enjoyed. Selectable 4x4, with free locking hubs, high-low transfer case, and 4.71 diffs, give you enough low end to traverse the trail as you desire. This is not a showroom truck, the paint shows some very minor wear (some chips and cracks), it has minor oil leaks (well within spec for vintage British vehicles), and it presents very well, is mechanically rock solid, and is remarkable in how it handles going down the road.
