Well guys - I'm finally putting my 1991 Range Rover Hunter edition on the block well short of the 500,000 miles I had planned to put on it. You all know the truck - its a veteran of Tellico, the pig trail, Anderson Creek, MAR, SAE, Rich Mt and everywhere else the club has been for the last 12 years. Here are the specifics:
It's a 1991 Range Rover Hunter in Eastnor Green with the tan cloth interior. It has 195,000 miles on it and runs great. The Hunter was a special edition (only 405 made) that was "decontented" to allow Range Rover to have a vehicle in the under $40K price range as the County editions with all the goodies were well beyond that by 1991. It's what it doesn't have that makes it "the best stock Range Rover Classic for off-rod use" according to some guys from Land Rover of North America that I met at the first MAR I attended in 1996.
It doesn't have ABS, Power seats, sunroof, swaybars, slick leather seats, a front spoiler - a lot of the stuff that causes trouble as these cars get older. The lack of a sunroof gives you an extra 1-1/2" of headroom and eliminates a potential leak. The nmanually adjusted cloth seats are more comfortable and don't have those stupid seat switches that die regularly. There is no ABS pump to go bad either - just a nice simple 4 wheel disc brake system that you can rebuild - it does have the ventilated front rotors of the post ABS cars though.
The Hunters came with a special dog guard and unpainted alloy wheels. They were offered in four colors; green, red, white and tan.
At the MAR two years ago there were six Hunters out of the 405 built.
My truck has an NRP stainless cat-back exhaust system, specially wound 1-1/2" taller springs, frame mounted rock sliders, Hella lights, K&N air filter, Magnacore wires and 245R75-16 Goodrich Trac-edge tires (spare is brand new). The radiator was recored two years ago at 180,000 miles, The headliner was replaced a couple of years ago and I just completed the installation of a brand new heater core last month (You do NOT want to have to do this job or even worse pay someone else to do it). The Cats were replaced two years ago with a very low mileage set off a Discovery as was the fuel pump. The 10-spline rear axles were changed out for some 24 spline Discovery axles a few years ago. There is a new battery since 6-year old the Optima decided to die while I had the truck apart to repair the heater core.
The oil has been changed every 3300 miles in this truck since I bought it with 80K on the odometer in 1995. It hasn't been rusted since its been a Southern car its whole life. No wrecks except for some minor trail rash on the lower edge of the doors and rear quarters. I've maintained this car as if I expected to drive it for the next twenty years. I would like to see it go to a good home.
I'm asking $4300 because it is "Rare" (and that new heater core was such a FUN job) but am willing to entertain all offers.
