RUST FREE Right hand drive Ranch Truck available
Falconworks Land Rover Service of Tucson proudly offers this truck for sale for our client:
A viable Land Rover is priceless! But priced to sell at only $9,950, this one is asking to be driven home!
Fresh off a remote Cascabell Ranch in southern Arizona comes this work truck, now available for public sale. Fully functional, though perhaps a little dusty, it has a bright history.
In spite of
being right-hand drive it is not at all rusty, and it appears to have
originally been from South America. The trap-door in the
chassis, allowing it to be filled with ... whatever, probably indicates
the truck’s practical origins.
The ranch is being subdivided, and Rover is no longer needed. It has been out there about a decade and a half, rarely seeing pavement. Still it is fitted with highway options such as Superwinch front locking hubs, and twin fuel tanks (one 12 and one 19 gallon). All else except Weber carb, rear tank, and side-mount exhuast, appears very original. All body rubber is gone, front seats are a little rough, and it suffered a collision with a cow in the side of the left front wing, but nothing which makes it any less uasable. No major collision or rust ever. It has no leaks from axles, hubs, swivels, or brakes ... the usual suspects.
Factory options fitted include: Safari Top; Magnatex turn signals; interior lamp; deluxe bonnet; Smiths cold-climate heater; third door; genuine Britax shoulder belts; oil gage and ammeter (inop).
The Series IIA is the most evloved of all the 4-cylinder Land Rover trucks imported. Fitted with a 2.25 liter roller-lifter petrol engine they will go-anywhere reliably, and can easily be repaired in the field, and hence their reputation -- the same one Range Rover, Defender, and Discovery all feed off of ... to this day. The long 109" wheebase makes for good capacity and excellent load carrying. The all-aluminum body construction keeps the CG very low (see left inset). The 8-speed gearbox makes the 124lb/ft of torque keep turning the wheels ... even when the fully-boxed chassis is up a against the quintessential immovable object. The Gods Must Be Crazy: just try that in your common Jeep!
