Not for the faint of heart - ‘95 NAS

[evilfij]

Just IMHO again, but having a NAS as a base with a clear title is probably worth it for a rebuild which is why the floor for clean title NAS trucks is what it is. If you are spending six figures, why not spend an extra 25k for a NAS to start with.

This is especially true for people in California where I don’t think you can register a ROW truck (at least not easily).

That truck is worse than mine was and I've spent years fixing rust on it. Of course if I was a millionaire and had a workshop with lots of help it wouldn't take very long, but it's a ton of work for one person on a budget with occasional help. But even the millionaires I know don't like to spend money and would be taking just as long as I am lol.

I agree it would be good to have the NAS VIN & title for a new build, but there isn't much that can be salvaged on it. So I think it would make more sense to buy a decent NAS 90 and sell it as parts afterwards which would reduce the overall expense.

I ran across this today. Not mine.

Thought I would post a few pics early restoration of this same truck from last summer which I purchased. Work will never be finished (it’s a Land Rover!) but have been enjoying driving and restoring it so far .

Looking great Hembo! I keep up on my Tetanus shots because I own Land Rovers!

Market seems to be around $75k, give or take, for a nice one.

Brave project! How doe the chassis look? Many things are "cosmetic" at the end of the day, but brakes, steering, and frame need to be in workable shape.
