Ebay in CO. 4 Door Defender Pick up

[Ray Hyland]

This truck is beautiful. It was featured at Sema. Totally not original, but nicely done.

Interesting, registered as a '63.

And never driven in the rain?

Truck was build by Gary, friend of ours. Might have been driven in the rain before he got it, but pretty sure it was not after the rebuilt. Here is some of his other projects.

I'm sure they mean since the resto. Is there a big market for show Landcruisers? It just seems odd.

It's a rare Land Rover, not a Landcruiser.

Whoops, that's what I meant. I still have the same question. I guess you could drop $50k and then take it off road. Or maybe just drive it around town looking cool.

The thing is that it would cost you that much to buy one new in the UK, and then you would have to deal with shipping and legalizing it here in the USA. I figure that is why they think it so valuable.

Then again, 55K and still not up to the reserve. I think they need to just post the reserve up and let people decide if they were willing to pay that much.

I like it, and if it were down around my pay grade, yeah I would get on that! I love those things, and would love to own one, or two, or three.

Waggoner already offered it for sale here on 5/22. I agree it would help to know the price, although at the current $56,100 it's getting to be a pricey off-roader, but not out of range for the asphalt. Somewhere else seller stated he had 100,000+ invested and a "high" reserve.
BUMP for a great truck, wish I "needed" it.
PS Looks like "Lone Wolf" sold

Wow!!! Drove through Golden about a week ago...knew I missed something. :ylsmoke:

Seller posted the reserve as $110K on another site.

 

[gearnut]

wow

I know the guy who built that truck, he does verything really nicely, meticulate and anal. He has done other rigs too that are super cool. Guarnateed to be nicer in real life than pictures could say.

I have no thoughts on how much is in the truck, sure enough custom cars are spendy, but I think he will be hard pressed to sell that thing for that price. He may have to own that for a long time before someone will buy it.

Still a beautiful vehicle.

110k doesnt sound that bad compared to what these guys get. They sell the majority of the nice 110s in this country and have a good rep as far as I know. I was quoted 125k by ECR to build a stock style 110 crewcab. The "Beach Runner" is over 100k and this is before you add all the fluff.

It never stops amazing me how many know it all's there are out there sitting behind the computer... Bottom line, if you don't like the price it's because you can't afford it.

I've seen this truck in person, and it is freaking awesome!!! Out of all the Defenders I have :Wow1: at over the years this one has gone where all of the others haven't.

For those of you that always say, "it's not worth that much". I dare you to build one yourself that's in the same league as this one and let me know what the final cost is. Then after you've done that, drop your pants to the world tell me your asking price.
