Gentlemen and possibly, ladies, this is a 1983 Land Rover Series III "88, unique County model, right hand drive. This was imported directly from England during 2013 and is in good running condition. I do like talking Landies, so feel free to send any questions.
The vehicle is fully registered, titled and insured in Massachusetts. The state safety inspection was also passed in Sept 2013, all customs paperwork available. County model with that wonderful brown exterior. 88" wheelbase with ~66,000 miles. 4 spd manual trans, and Fairey overdrive. 4cyl Gasoline Engine VIN SALLBABH1BA170227 Engine 36119580A Exterior - Russet Brown ! exclusive to the County model along with the white stripes. - The paint is original, and as such does show fade and wear. - Original glazing/glass, no cracks. - Overall solid body, paint fading and general wear. - Firewall looks OK, with some spots of rust. - Stringers look OK but have surface rust. - Tires are worn, ~5/10ths - Roof is also original paint, good condition. - Dent crease on the driver side door. - Two brand new lower door panels (driver and passenger) are included with the car -- list for $400 each. - Slight rust on front of radiator support panel, just to the left and right of the grill. - A more recent radiator support, without rust, is also included.

Future Maintenance - Engine does have oil coating, possible valve cover gasket. - Drivers side turn light out – rear. - Drivers side high beam not working. - Main head light switch functioning is intermittent. - All springs are original and would most likely be replaced. - As mentioned lower compression could indicate possible head gasket need. - Tires will need replacement.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
