An unworthy rival to the Zipmobile, which has the actual chops.

More pics there. I have no association with the seller.

For $100k I'd think the tires would be new.

If there's any takers, I'll let my '71 IIA go for $50,000.

Is the Zipmobile for sale? How much?

[navydevildoc]

On one of the other forums I am on, we have a "Craigslist Crackheads" thread. This would certainly go in it.

100K? Brotha puhleeze.

Sad thing is someone will probably buy it for that.

[jaygoss]

Brotha pulheez buy it!!! I'd be ecstatic if this sold for 100k. Wouldn't it be nice- especially in this economy for the value of our Rovers? I'm not going to jump on the pig pile; I'm rooting the opposite way on this one. I get what your saying- it's hard to believe that a farm implement would be worth so much...but more power to the seller if he's able to find a buyer who feels it's worth that price. Some collector might happily snatch this up and we stand only to benefit when it's time to sell our Rovers. I can see trashing a Pontiac Grand Prix with a Land Rover body; you know- the hall of shame type of stuff. I get that...but this is a well-documented 109 and I think it stands a chance of selling- at least I'm remaining optimistic that it will for the benefit of the marque and all of us here. Alright- stepping off the soap box now. Later BITCH BOYS!!! (nothing derogatory meant by that- if you haven't checked out the "bitch boys" thread you should- pretty friggin' funny!)
