Weird 1987 Range Rover Classic I purchased

[getlost4x4]

So i've been working on this 1987 RRC.

Original Paint appears to be maroon.

It only has 46K miles on it.

On the fenders there is a sticker under the paint that looks like it says World Champion Cris Shamrock

I've googled the name, but I'm coming up empty.

A few pictures. There is a lot of crap on this one. I've removed 95% of the crap wiring. Crap Stereo system as well.

Always a good time for story time

Neato air filter, I was not aware the RRC intake filter was that long

I googled "World Champion Cris Shamrock" and only got one result: this page.

That air filter though.... "Yes, hello, I'd like the longest air filter you sell. Yes, about 2 1/2 feet should do it." :Wow1:

Mileage blaster, hmm.

That air filter is awesome.

Any plans for this truck or turn it into a decent road car?

Are those speakers on the back side of the front seats?!

Maybe? Doubt it. Trying to make out the outline. Thought it might be a bull or a horse, but I can't tell either.

yes.

really ugly

The EQ is straight up 1987. Got to get it dialed in for the killer mix tape.

I can see how you might think that, but they are in fact part of the factory optional massaging front seats (no, they are not). As for the air filter, so many jokes it's hard to know where to start.

With that air filter pulling all that hot dead air from under the hood, I wonder what percent HP loss he has?? 10%? 15%?

That's probably why they had to add the Jacobs ignition box.

This has got to be the guy. Look at his photos there is a picture with a Jaguar with the RRC in the back ground.

So it can get all ghetto douchey again?

That wiring is a freakin mess, wheels suck, and the front license plate is so, so bad.

Good luck with the truck.
