Overview of 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 Convertible LS3 For Sale by Owner

If you know the value of the original Land Rover Defender, chances are that you can tell the difference between a true off-roader and a mere dress-up job. Only a handful of serious off-roaders remain in today’s world, and a classic Defender is a great way to avail yourself to such potency and capability. This particular 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 from Staten Island is an amazing custom job, with a brawny LS3 V8 under the hood, four doors, and a tan-colored power convertible top as highlights. It’s thus a great companion for the family that ventures off the beaten track on a regular basis.

Exterior and Interior

Save for its tan convertible top which is power operated, the rest of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110’s body panels wear a coat of gray paint. With its NAS-style rear bumper, PUMA hood and custom LED lighting, this is definitely an off-roader from the outset. Its 2-inch lift, custom-designed safety bar and 18-inch wheels are further symbols of strength. Meanwhile, all five doors enjoy a galvanized frame for better longevity. The custom diamond-stitched leather interior of this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 is a truly awesome place to be. It’s got air conditioning, an upgraded heater system, a post-2007 steering column, power windows, LED lighting for all four cup holders, wood trim, and a 11-inch BOSS audio system with USB input. You’ve also got a sports steering wheel, front and rear speakers, and even a push-button selector for the vehicle’s upgraded automatic gearbox. Aftermarket white-faced gauges have been installed too, while the cargo area has been suitably carpeted and awaits your luggage.

Engine

This 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 certainly packs heat. Its LS3 V8 displaced 6.2-liters and is kept cool by way of an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. A three muffler exhaust system and stainless steel piping ensures that the V8 sounds wicked! Drive goes to all four wheels through a 6L80 6-speed automatic gearbox by Ashcroft Transmissions. There’s a complete set of steering joints, a steering box, silicone bushings for the suspension system, axles that have been fully rebuilt internally, upgraded wiring and a new fuse box. So, this off-roader is ready to rock and roll!
