I am the second owner of NAS Defender 90 #1076. It has 89,000 well-maintained miles, with service records for the last 50,000 from Four Oaks of Santa Monica. Cosmetically and mechanically the car is in great condition. It is fitted with the rare factory fiberglass hardtop, which makes driving way more quiet and comfortable than with a soft top. It has been highly reliable, running strong and smooth with no issues. The car was just serviced and received a new water pump and thermostat. I put in a super-duty radiator that insures the car never overheats, even on long trips to the desert with the cold AC blasting. Handling and ride are superb thanks to poly bushings and Bilstein shocks. The V8 purrs through the new Magnaaflow exhaust. The front seats were reupholstered last year and are very comfortable. Tires have a lot of life left. The paint shows strong and bright, but it is not without a few dings and blemishes. The car has never been in an accident and never off-roaded except for a few desert trails. There is some surface corrosion on a couple of the roll cage connectors, the rear bumper, and the spare wheel carrier, but nothing structural. The back edge of the fiberglass hardtop got munched in a parking garage and I temporarily patched it with some JB weld to seal it. The tailgate struts are a little weak. The dash top has a few sun cracks. I installed a vacuum pressure gauge and a voltmeter, which means that the hazard button and the cigarette lighter/phone charger live in the bin above. That red thing on the dash is a flip-up toggle switch that can be connected to whatever you want. My wife wouldn't let me install the missile launcher :) The sound system could use new rear speakers. The original cubby box is not lockable and missing the block off wings that go on either side of the (older) Blaupunkt CD radio. There is a wired trailer hitch (used once to tow a motorcycle, and once to tow an Airstream 5 miles) The original bully bar and third brake light, which I removed, are included in the sale. You will not be disappointed by this stout little beast. It is loads of fun, it is an investment, it's been loved and maintained well, and it is ready for its next owner.
