Series III 109, Stage One

[ptschram]

As hard as it is, I have an opportunity to take advantage of, but it requires me to sell my beloved 109.

It is VINed as a 1974, however, given it having a V8, I suspect it is really a 1979.

Approximately 60K miles-the Km odometer reads 01001.

Left-hand drive.

I'm asking $12,500, OBO.

I have lots of pictures and can send them upon request, they are huge and will probably need to be sent in multiple e-mails.

Edit-terms of sale are cash, during banking hours. All funds will be verified by my bank prior to transfer of title.

Say it isn't so, PT!

 

[ptschram]

Sadly, it is.

I R sad.

This is the second Series truck I've had to sell. Someday, I'll be able to keep one, but I'm afraid one like this isn't gonna happen again.

no other opportunity is as important as the opportunity to just keep this one.

I have a friend that will be very very interested in this truck.

Why does it look more like a defender?

anyway, please shoot me pics and more details. and I can send it on to him.

I hope he's interested enough for me to send the 18 e-mails it requires to send the pics I have

It looks like a Defender because it has the V8 in it and they had to make it fit somehow

These were the last of the leaf-sprung 109s and they had the 3.5 litre V8.Everything is unique on these vehicles, and I haven't even been able to find concrete production numbers on them. I do know that there were THREE 88" Stage Ones, now THAT would be a keeper.

I bought this one because it was intact, complete, and unmolested. This is one of those trucks that if it were restored, it might be fodder for the Orvis auction site.

Some pics are on their way. Let me know if you need more and if there are any particular pics you'd like.

PT, does this mean you are coming to Baja this fall?

 

[Newbie999]

PM sent!

 

[ptschram]

Pics sent!

 

[AU_88]

Sad.

PT, even trade, for my 95 classic.

Wow. Love Stage 1s. Hope the "opportunity" is worth it!

It might not seem like it right now, but in five years, I'm certain it will have been the right choice.

Good luck with the sale, PT! Nice rig

PT, sent you an email from your contact on your website. How does it run? Any rust issues that need major attention? How does it do on the road?

Runs as well as any other carbureted 30+ year-old vehicle runs

Only surface rust, no rust through that I'm aware of.

Drives nicer than the other Series trucks I've owned.

Damn,

GLWS!

Apparently, the seemingly serious buyer wasn't.
