Save The Rovers

[OregonGX]

This morning while the coffee brewed I was daydreaming about my next Land Rover project - a trail beater for some thrashing.

I've promised my wife a new house and myself some more garage space before I take on another project, so while tempting, I can't save them all.

Let's use this thread to share finds that need a rescue. Nothing you own or have interest in, just interesting Land Rovers that need to be rehomed to someone who cares.

I'll get the party started. Donated Range Rover Classic in Van Nuys, CA - current bid $750.

Hey, I'm in Helena! I might have to go take a look at that one. I'd be willing to take a look for someone else in the forum too, if there's any interest.

Sad to see them go so young!

That one was shared around on my local board. A little too industrious for the kind of project I'm looking for.

Even crazier is that it was already lifted and on larger tires (with less than 100 miles!). Take note JLR...

Not sure what the problem is; says here that it only has a headlight fault!

On a serious note; send in a lowball offer to the insurance company selling it! That Rover is fixable and would be an epic trail wagon! A quick looks shows the crumple zones do not look compromised; hell the radiator res is still half full! I'd bet the control arm mounts are ripped completely off but looks fixable.

Get the VIN cuz I bet you'll find this thing on CL in about 6 months with a salvage title for sale and driving for $50k or so!

IIRC the lower control arm mounts bolt to the subframe which is replaceable. Not sure on the uppers though.

1990 Range Rover Classic SWB - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle...

1990 Range Rover Classic 3.9L Looks better in the pictures than in person. Starts, runs, has a lot...

Here's one that needs saving. Cool to see a portifino red, even if it's been repainted that was the original color. Owner told me it's been sitting for several years. It's rough, but with only a little work it would be make an amazing trail rig.

I tried saving the one in Montana, but someone from Virginia beat me. Anyone on here? I hope it's going to a good home!

(Make sure you dry it out really good! It's been getting snowed on with leaking alpine windows....)
