RARE - 1995 D1 LHD Manual Transmission For Sale
Asking $5400 OBO
It is with a very heavy heart that I post this. This truck has served me very well. Despite its many issues, it has reliably taken me over the mountains and through the woods, over the rocks, through the mud, snow, sand dunes, around town and overland. It's been mostly an FL and CA truck. The last few years it’s been exposed to NY winters (not a lot of driving in snow/salt situations but parked outside) so rust has started but it isn’t that bad.
I got it with ~150K miles. It now has about ~170K. I can’t state this enough: this truck is SO FUN TO DRIVE. A manual transmission through tricky is so much more satisfying.
Some of you may know this truck. It’s been well loved and well driven. Like the PO who sold it to me, I want to get this truck into the hands of someone who will appreciate it, love it in fact, and keep it on the trails.
First, the issues:
IMO none of what’s listed above are deal breakers but, yes, there are a lot of issues.
Now, the positives
Sale includes
Unless indicated, assume OEM/original/no other mods.
I have more pictures. DM me if interested. Clean title. Carfax report available. I am in NYC/NY
