A true hero of British off-roading, the classic Land Rover Defender can directly trace its lineage all the way back to the Series I of 1948. In fact, you can trace that lineage for yourself by Googling up images of both and placing them side-by-side. Then, you’ll see that the appearance is nearly identical. However, the two aren’t that similar under the skin. Land Rover made hundreds of improvements over the years. That’s why many people who want a classic Land Rover but still prefer some modern features in a sturdy, off-road-friendly package pick a Defender. So, why not choose this plucky short-wheelbase 1987 Land Rover Defender as your off-road companion? The vehicle has traveled a healthy 167,000 miles but has also received plenty of TLC, ensuring that it stays fresh.
This particular 1987 Land Rover Defender showcases its timeless design in a variety of ways. Firstly, it's got a coat of red paint as the main highlight. Then, its canvas soft top comes in black and is reportedly new. The front grille is new, too, and the headlamps are modern LED units. In fact, it’s reported that all lighting at the front and back has been replaced. Meanwhile, the vehicle rolls on a set of new black alloy wheels with new tires wrapped around them. There’s also a new front bumper with a winch. Meanwhile, we’ve been informed that a cross-member at the back of the chassis was recently replaced. The interior of this 1987 Land Rover Defender is also said to have had its upholstery replaced with a combination of smooth and diamond-patterned leather, offering seating for up to seven people. However, the dashboard remains classic Defender, with a no-nonsense approach and only essential items present. Wind-up windows and manually operated mirrors are the order of the day, and there doesn’t appear to be a radio of any sort. It's best to bring along a Bluetooth speaker, then.
The 200Tdi engine that propels this 1987 Land Rover Defender is a turbocharged 2.5-liter turbodiesel unit that can provide reliable power whenever you need it. It’s paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The current owner says that the exhaust has been replaced, as has the rubber components in the suspension, plus the rear shock absorbers. The brake master pump has also been replaced.

In 1948, Britain’s Rover Company produced its first four-wheel drive civilian car. Inspired by the Willys-Overland Jeep from our country. Christened the Series I, this vehicle came with an aluminum body, a box frame, and enormous off-road capability. As time progressed on, the Series I became the Series II, Series III, and by late 1990, gained the Defender name. It also received hundreds of upgrades and enhancements, but the basic shape stayed the same. Produced in multiple wheelbase variants, the 90 was the shortest one available, and came in two-door form. Today, we’ve got a very appealing 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 for sale from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This vehicle has received a host of upgrades and aftermarket additions, and its short wheelbase means that it’s got the best off-road capabilities of the bunch. Let’s delve a bit deeper into its offerings.
The Land Rover Defender comes from a lineage of over 50 years of off-road excellence. The first Land Rover Series examples hit British roads in 1948, and soon made their way to nearly all countries across the globe. Throughout the years, Land Rover made hundreds of enhancements to the Series, including naming it the Defender in late 1990. Produced in several wheelbases, the 90 was the shortest variant available. While most Defender 90s are typically three-door SUVs, this particular 1993 Land Rover Defender 90 is an interesting, two-door single cab pickup truck variant. Bearing 80,000 miles to its name, this vehicle is now up for sale, and makes an excellent off-road runabout.

In 1963, Chevy introduced the second generation of their popular Corvette sports car and Americans went wild for it. While the first generation was groundbreaking, the second generation was, simply put, evolutionary. The coupe sported a new split-screen rear window that, sadly, had to be axed after just one year due to rearward visibility issues. No such worries with the convertible, which came with a slick metal hardtop that could be removed and kept at home. Today, we’ve got a nice 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale for the discerning collector or eager first-time classic car aficionado to purchase. This car hails from Rogers, Texas, and has covered over 75,000 miles in its life. This tells you everything you need to know; that it’s a car that’s truly worth driving and enjoying. Furthermore, this car comes with a reportedly numbers-matching engine and transmission, further elevating its collectible status.
The Ford F-150 is probably the most popular half-ton pickup truck around. Hailing from Ford’s popular F-Series with roots in 1948, the half-tonner started as the F-1, then the F-100, and finally became the F-150 later in life. Across our great country, F-150s serve family and work purposes at the same time, and rarely if ever let their owners down – if they do, it’s usually due to poor maintenance or careless driving. While the majority of F-150s are aimed at usability, there are some performance derivatives around as well. Case in point, this 2022 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake that tells you all you need to know about it in one word: Shelby. Yes, Carroll Shelby’s iconic tuning outfit didn’t only fettle Mustangs; they were rather open to experimentation on other vehicles too. Today, this 21,848-mile super truck from Texas could be yours, and it’s received a recent servicing too.
