$1k. White 1998 disco LE for sale. 103,xxx miles. Always southwest truck. Everything works except for all the windows. Sunroofs probably work but too scared to try. Drops a little oil, leaks a fair amount of coolant. Front swivels need a refresh. Has a little wobble hitting bumps at highway speed. Will need some sort of gasket replaced. Runs well otherwise, was daily driver until purchase of new family hauler. New radiator from RN. 110 front calipers installed. 5 215/85R16 cooper discoverer AT-3 tires with less than 20k miles. Comes with stock length stainless steel brake lines and fluid kit from AB. RRC lug nuts. Whatever misc maintenance items I can find go with it. Picks coming.

Thats a killer deal. I paid $1k for a parts disco. It had new AT tires, alternator and perfect Safety devices, but its still a parts truck

Stock except for 110 front calipers and I put a HD chevy van fan clutch on it. Also I replaced high pressure power steering hose in last year, so no longer leaks power steering fluid. Forgot to mention located in Las Vegas. Looks like battery won't hold a charge so will need one of those. Going outside to take some picks now....

Some pics I got before my Chinese food arrived. If anyone wants other shots let me know. Leather is decent, a little cracked and dry but would freshen up ok I think. Headliner doesn't sag.

Seems like a nice truck....Where is the coolant leaking from? Reservoir, valley pan....? You can see it leaking?

I think it's the valley pan, but I'm not 100% sure. It pools under the thermostat housing and also drips off the back of the motor somewhere. Does not seem to be the thermostat housing itself, that always feels dry, and I sealed the shit out of it when I replaced the rad, coolant lines, and thermostat. Oil never looks milky and it doesn't blow any smoke. I'll take a pick of that area in a few.

That is a nice, unmolested D1. I have a buddy looking for a 4x4, will let him know immediately.

Hump day bump. More pics too. tried to capture clear coat erosion on roof.
Not pictured: $9 drive through carwash, various rubber hoses and the original front calipers that are all part of this amazing package.

My buddy is off camping for the merry month of May and I haven't been able to get in touch with him. Bump for a killer deal.

I'm so tempted to buy this. If I flew to Vegas would it make the drive back to Phoenix, Arizona area?
