Vehicle Detail
1973 Land Rover Series 3 for sale. I purchased this truck 2 years ago for a restoration. Im familiar with these truck and I knew what to look for. I found this particluar one 5 hours from my home in florida. The truck had been stored inside a 3 car garage since 12/1982. The previous owner had taken very good care of all his toys including a very nice 1956 series 1 that he still has. This particular truck was a great find for me because the frame and bulkhead were in excellent shape with no rust around the typical areas. The truck was not running when purchased. When I got it home all it needed was a new fuel spark plugs wires battery and i drove it for 6 months until parked last year. I removed the head to replace the head gaskets water pump thermostat new belt hoses alternator new fuel lines. The truck came with two fuel tanks one on each side so i just added a new electric fuel pump for the other tank. The mechanical pump still works fine. Motor runs sweet and quiet. The carburetor will need to be rebuilt soon. Engine has great compression. I can't be certain that the miles are original but if I were to guess they are original. The truck will need a new brake and clutch master cylinder to make it road worthy again. The frame is in great shape with no rust through out the frame. You can clearly see how well the frame has been maintained. Ive taken many pictures of the frame to give you as many possible angles of the entire frame. The leaf springs have no sway or zero sag. Very nice stance. The tires are nice bf goodrich tires with good tread. 31 inch tires on 15 inch rim. I took plenty of pictures of the bulkhead as well to give you an excellent view. There are only 3 tiny holes on the footwell. Nothing major. Doors are in good shape with no rust on the bottom trim of the panel. Little surface rust on the top by window frame. The front glass window is cracked. I will include a replacement glass for both windows in the deal. Lights work fine plus the wipers. Left had drive. Starts up nice by the first turn of the key. It will need a battery. The battery i purchased went bad after sitting for awhile. The interior will need to be addressed. I tossed away the bottom seats because they were in bad shape hoping i would replace them soon from Roversnorth, but never got around to it. The dash board is in great shape with no crack or sun fading. The headliner is white with no sag or rips or tears. Ive included a few pictures of that too. Other than the interior things i mentioned, thats it! It has all the original step plates, rear cross member good shape as well. Mud flaps will need to be replaced soon. All window are there and slide easy. Ive included a picture of the parts you will need to replace new brake and clutch master cylinder to make back to a dd. Has a clean florida title. I am not able to complete this project like I would have liked to see it new paint seats etc I have run out of funds and time. I hope i was able to touch on everything on the truck. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Ebay will only allow me to post 24 pictures, if you need more please send me your email address. Fyi.. I hosed down the truck today because of the dust, if some of the pics looks like its wet in certain areas.
