I'll be that guy who raises his hand and admits he knows nothing about this next model. I'm really not a Land Rover guy, so I don't know if this next model is rare or desireable or a piece of crap, but I will tell ya that whenever I see one I think "ooohhh, I want that" which means it has something. But you get to tell me what is special (or not!) about this car. Find this 1976 Land Rover Series 3 offered for $18000 in Seattle, WA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

I don't know about $18k worth of "ooohhh, I want that", but ooohhh, I want that. Rental company has me driving a new Wrangler Unlimited for the week, so far it's been a fun ride.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s slower than a 1969 diesel Mercedes?

LOL, indeed. They've always been sharp lookin' rides, but the earlier ones were dogs. My ex had a 2000 Disco with the 4.0 V8 that put out 185hp and 245 torque... in a 4,600 lb. vehicle. :o On a similar note, I happen to come across this. Gotta love the comments section...
DeleteEvery time I see these, the Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom theme song runs thru my head... Yeah cool toy, but generally not a practical toy in my neck of the woods. But on the other hand, toys really aren't practical are they?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking more of "So, how is the Antichrist?" or "I don't want to talk about it."
