Description

California registered 1980 Land Rover Series 3 109. This very unique and original Australian 109 that was smogged and registered in California a year ago, owever I have been unable to re-smog it, hus it DOES NOT come with a current passed smog test.

This 109 runs smoothly on either petrol or LPG and has a switch to toggle back and forth between fuel tanks.

In the last month I have gone through and replaced all of the fluids, e-built the rear passenger wheel hub, nd installed a new gutter kit, s well as an electronic fuel pump. I also gave the ol Aussie a fresh garage paint job. Honestly the paint looks presentable and my neighbors like it a lot more than the nato green. The paint will not win any beauty contests, ut from a few feet it looks good and gets a lot of smiles and thumbs up.


The highlights of this 109:

*Virtually rust free. See the photos. It was in Western Australia until at least 2009 from what I can gather and it shows. There is no rot anywhere. The window tops have a little bit of surface rust, ut I think that is because the PO stored them outside.


*Only 79,000 Kilometers ( ONLY 43,500 MILES )


* Legit LPG Conversion. Run this beast off off gas or propane. Super easy toggle switch between sources.


* Runs very strong, nd shifts smoothly through all gears as well as 4wd. I drive it daily and it has never left me stranded.


*Fairey Overdrive


*Strong running daily driver for me (starts first click every time and I drive it about 10 miles a day, veryday)


*Roll cage added


*I don't know of another Aussie 109 in California or the US


I am open to any and all reasonable offers and would love to answer any questions you may have.
