The Land Rover Defender is one of the most iconic off-roaders of all time. Despite being available new in its most modern avatar, the last-gen Defender is still an enthusiast-favorite vehicle. After completing a production run of over 30 years, the last generation Land Rover Defender retired in 2016. We have here today a restored 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 with modern underpinnings housed under the elegant, classic bodywork. The current owner has reported that the SUV was imported from England and the full restoration was completed in 2019 by Osprey Custom Cars. They also added that the SUV has been fitted with a new hot-dip galvanized OEM chassis from another 1988 model Defender 90. Powered by an LS3 V8 and with just 19,350 miles on the odometer, this classic Defender 90 is the perfect restomod SUV for an aficionado.
This 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 looks mesmerizingly attractive. The current owner has reported that, along with the new chassis, this restomod is also equipped with new steel and aluminum doors. It also received a new paint job, flaunting a bold shade of Graphite Metallic, accented by a blacked-out grille and fenders. The hardtop roof of the truck is also painted in Gloss Black and equipped with curved viewing glass on each side. The upgraded black bumpers are wrapped with Charcoal Gray plastic surrounding and equipped with LED lighting solutions. 18-inch Black multi-spoke wheels encircled by a new set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 all-weather tires add to this Defender's visual and purposeful ruggedness. On the inside, the cabin is finished in black, featuring bolstered bucket seats in the front row and jump seats at the rear. The seats are heated and swathed in black leather with white diamond stitching inserts. The steering wheel is a new leather-wrapped Momo unit, while the headliner (also new) is made up of Dark Charcoal suede. Other prominent interior upgrades include a Kenwood infotainment system with Apple Carplay / Android Audio support and twin fingerprint rifle safes under the second-row seating.
Under the hood of this 1988 Land Rover Defender, 90 is a 6.2-liter Chevy LS3 V8, mated to a reported-new 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission with new cooler lines. 4-wheel drive with a lockable center differential is the drivetrain configuration. Although the power output isn’t specified, it is expected to be around the 426-436 hp ballpark in the LS3 motor’s stock condition. Here, however, the motor is connected to Hooker headers and a Cherry Bomb muffler, which could result in a boosted output. A PCS GSM push button electronic shift selector is responsible for putting that vigor to work effectively, while a digital-analog instrument cluster displays vital vehicle info. With this upgraded powertrain setup, this restomod Defender has been transformed into a potent beast that is also much easier to maintain.
