One of the first publicly advertised trucks under our new venture, Royal Overland Co, LLC. Details below:
Fresh to the shop is a 1987 Australian County 110. This is a 5spd v8 truck, with A/C in the dash. It's original, and was a daily driver right up until it got on the ship to the US. It runs great, all of the safety items are up to par, and it is road legal ready to go. The frame and cross members are all completely solid and of no concern. The floors, to include the lower bulkhead, are clean, straight, and not corroded. Aesthetically, the paint is dull and oxidized. There is corrosion under the paint on the doors, and the door bottoms are rusted. The interior is brown fabric, in great condition with no rips or tears. The trim is all present, and in good condition. While the paint is old and faded, and the door bottoms are rusty, there is nothing preventing this truck from being driven daily. Drive it while you buff the paint or patch the doors, it's ready to go. She's done about 180k Miles, and feels like it would do that much again. We are selling as-is, and can quote out new doors and paint to a buyer. Asking $18,000 USD titled at our shop outside Austin, TX.

That's the Ad, here's my commentary-
Known issues - Paint faded, and the door bottoms all need to be cut out and replaced eventually. Bulkhead is good, found a little rust on the lower A pillar section on right hand side. Floors are damn near perfect. Frame is totally rust free, just the surface age on it. Rear crossmember is perfect. The AC Compressor doesn't have a belt on it, and we haven't looked into the condition of the system. i'm sure it needs 1 new O-ring, or 4, and a recharge.
4x new cooper tires
Drive great, has the later 5 speed (some of our county V8's were 4 speeds, as you'd expect. This is a late 1987, first registered in '88).
