1984 Land Rover Defender | GD4 | GRID Off-Road

Land Rover’s Defender is an iconic 4×4 that’s been a rugged thing of beauty for the past 68 years. It’s a legend on seven continents for challenging expeditions and humanitarian support, which is why it’s one of the world’s most recognizable rigs to date. Although they’re some of the toughest rigs on Earth, they’ve since ceased production, making preowned versions high comodities everywhere.

This 1984 Land Rover Defender 110 High Capacity Pickup Truck (there’s three bodys styles, including Hard Top and Soft Top) is a work of art, featuring some elaborate mods, including a set of GD4 GRID Off-Road wheels in a matte black milled finish that adds to its overall rugged look and its $125K appraised value!
