1987 Range Rover Classic Cypress Green Survivor

This is the first year that Range Rovers were sold in the USA. The car is in running and driving shape but does need some rust repair. However, nowhere near as bad as the typical ones for sale in the northeast US.

I am told the engine is 3.9 and not the 3.5 that it would have come with. It has the far superior LT230 transfer case with diff lock. It also does not have the stupid malfunction-prone and difficult to repair ABS braking system found on post '91 Range Rovers. The engine starts on the first turn of the key every time and makes good power. Most of the interior also seems to be from a later truck. Maybe missing a door card, can't recall.

It currently has no front floor mats or headliner. Roof is the rare but leak-proof non-sunroof version. Hence the less rusted condition of the interior floors.

I bought this as a parts car but it was really too nice to part out.These were the best Range Rover classics IMO. So much less of the troublesome features that make the later vehicles more difficult and expensive to maintain.

Someone needs to save this vehicle- it is one of the first Rangies to the US and they sure aren't making any more like this. I would do it myself if I had the time or inclination, but I already did up my '88. The vehicle is at a friends house in New Jersey. If anyone wants to see it, let me know and I can make arrangements.

Asking $2500 obo. I do have all of the paperwork for it.

I can also throw in the lift kit that came with it (not installed) and a set of original workshop manuals.
