Looking for a salvage beat up Defender 90 (soft top)

[TerryS]

I'm not certain that's Lincoln. It looks a tiny bit lighter than what I'm seeing, having only done the front wings and bonnet so far. I like Bronze Green also, but it's getting over used and isn't right for a 110 in any case.
That picture makes me wish that 2 door Rangie in TN was a bit closer. Auto Transport has nearly doubled in the last year, and I have paid those gypsies way too much already.

I havent heard of the 97s having the oil cooling lines go as thier location is not the same as the NAS 110s and the '94 & '95 D90s. But given how the issue seems to be workign its way up the NAS line up, a few minutes of taking a look at the lines can save yourself a cookout.

Yes I still have the yellow one. Have had some interest in it over the past few weeks, guess people are thinking of their winter projects. Not sure whats going to happen with it. I may have stumbled upon another D90 hiding in neglect in the weeds in someones yard and have to see if I can snap it up. If so, that will greatly change the plans for the yellow one.

There are some nice projects but the $$$ and I have no space, but more importantly time. Would you pay 6k for the green Defender with No Wheels, looks like the brakes were stripped too. The engine is sill there. Might be a good candidate for diesel or motor swap. I wish I could have a project car. Don't think it's possible moving every 2-3 years though.

I would probably pay 6k but he wants more than double that. He's got both those beat up 97's on ebay right now as well.

With the amount he wants plus the cost of getting it road worthy I think you'd be well over what you'd spend on getting a decent shape running '97 on ebay. You guys agree?

[DevilDisco]

You're right, someone is gong to pay more than $6k for them. That white one looks suspect, like it may have frame damage, in which case I guess you would be paying for just the title. Because these vehicles ar so rare and this guy knows it he's going to milk it. The oil company is doing the same thing why can't he. We have something we want and he's one of the few places we can get it. I hate when these people do their research.

Hell the deals are out there you just have to be patient. That D90 in the photo is wasted. I bought my D90 for 16K after taxes and title and it had 107K on the clock, and it has a regular title. It's a convertable and I love. Talk about a deal.
