Something Special? 1976 Land Rover Series 3
I’ll be that guy who raises his hand and admits he knows nothing about this next model. I’m really not a Land Rover guy, so I don’t know if this next model is rare or desireable or a piece of crap, but I will tell ya that whenever I see one I think “ooohhh, I want that” which means it has something. But you get to tell me what is special (or not!) about this car. Find this 1976 Land Rover Series 3 offered for $18000 in Seattle, WA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

I don't know about $18k worth of "ooohhh, I want that", but ooohhh, I want that. Rental company has me driving a new Wrangler Unlimited for the week, so far it's been a fun ride.
What’s slower than a 1969 diesel Mercedes?

LOL, indeed. They've always been sharp lookin' rides, but the earlier ones were dogs. My ex had a 2000 Disco with the 4.0 V8 that put out 185hp and 245 torque… in a 4,600 lb. vehicle. 😮 On a similar note, I happen to come across this. Gotta love the comments section…
Every time I see these, the Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom theme song runs thru my head… Yeah cool toy, but generally not a practical toy in my neck of the woods. But on the other hand, toys really aren't practical are they?
I was thinking more of "So, how is the Antichrist?" or "I don't want to talk about it."
