1956 107" Series 1 pickup

[Disco96JSWB]

Jake and I went to look at a 107" pickup last weekend, with a few ideas in mind.
- Could be solid enough to be a pretty reasonable project.
- Could be so bad it would be a good source of mechanical parts for our 1951 project.
- Where there's one L-R, others often lurk.

Turns out it's too solid to be a parts truck, but too rusty (chassis and bulkhead) to be useable as-is, and there were no other Land-Rovers.

Jake wasn't impressed, but I thought it was very cool. Has frame for rear 3/4 tilt (no canvas) too, but not pictured.

I'll pass on contact info to anyone who is interested. It's located about 15 miles south of Annapolis, MD.

Didn't someone mention that was one of Quinten's (sp?) trucks?

Hey, I got one for you guys. I think this is near you Jeremy, I believe Willow Grove, Pa. its a Jaguar/Land Rover store that can be seen from I-276 and every nite I pass by and it has been sitting there since Nov.

It's a Series II, 5-dr. wagon w/full roof rack!

I had posted the sighting on D-90 Source and only got one response, from somebody you guys know... Ryan from Caldweld, N.J. I think he called and its 4-sale, 45,000 miles not sure on any price.

Kangaroo.... anyone!!!

I live about 4 or 5 miles from the land rover dealer in Willow Grove. If any body is really serious I can run over and take a look...... My 88 keeps me busy enough

Yes, I saw it on Craigslist and posted links here along with pictures. Seems to me it was listed at $4000

My sense is that the price is pretty negotiable. If someone had access to a 107" chassis, it'd be a great project. A bulkhead would make a big difference too. Based on what I saw, it might even be that the front half of an 86" chassis would be enough to make it a viable effort. The really bad section is at the rear of the front springs.

That sounds really low, and that's just from checking it out at 68MPH every nite.

Oh!, I replied before I saw Jeremy's post. I guess the bad frame reflects the on that asking price!
