Sheep In A Wolf's Hoodie: 1966 Land Rover Defender on Pontiac Grand Prix Chassis

If you've ever spent time under a car, you know what you can get with a little hard work and a pair of donor cars.  All manner of crazy beasts start with a simple thought from some a mad scientist...but this next car is so perplexing that I'm going to have to give it the official Bearded Spock award and just hope it gets swallowed up in the next black hole to dimension Z.  Find this 1966 Land Rover Defender on a Pontiac Grand Prix Chassis offered for $2,500 in Taunton, MA via craigslist.

Project 4X4: 1987 Land Rover Defender 90

Not every car is universally loved (you can probably find people who don't like Corvettes, for instance) but there are some cars that everyone respects the people who drive them on a regular basis.  Like the C3 Corvette, an Alfa Romeo Giulia, or a Land Rover Defender.  It might not have the sexy curves or a crazy price tag, but it has character in spades.  Find this 1987 Land Rover Defender 90 offered for $13,900 near St Louis, MO via craigslist.

5k: In My Defens: 1985, 1991 & 1991 Land Rover Defender Diesel

Imagine for a minute that you are the proud descendants of Pictish people located on a shared island with descendants of Germanic tribes called the Angles.  As a Pict, you have been spending your time tending sheep, inventing the bicycle (and over-head valve engine) but mostly keeping to yourselves, while your extroverted neighbors to the south have basically been taking over the world for the past 1000 years.  Their English language has become the defacto world wide standard, their common law system is universal, they once created the worlds largest empire to-date that spanned the globe and encompassed 20% of the world's population in 1938, they precipitated the 18th century industrial revolution...and you've had enough.  Time to secede.  Unfortunately, you now have to create all sorts of necessary infrastructure like money (can't we just trade Sheep's stomachs like we did in the old days says my cousin Eanruig) and a military.  As luck would have it, another member of the ex-British empire is selling a few military vehicles which would make a great start to any nation's fledgling army.  Find a 1985, 1991 & 1991 Land Rover Defender Diesels offered for a starting bid of $3,000 (CAD) via the Goverment of Canada surplus website.
