Editor’s Note: We love scouring the internet for reasons to spend money we don’t have on cars we daydream about owning, and these are our picks this week. All prices listed are bid amounts at the time of publishing.
Enjoying the great outdoors, comfortably, for a weekend doesn’t require incredibly refined searches for AirBnBs out in the middle of nowhere, expensive boutique hotel lodges or even more expensive RVs. All you need is a good collection of camping gear and a trusty overlander that can get you out to the wilderness and back. Cargo space and a roof rack are a plus, especially if you’re bringing a few friends or family — but the beautiful truth is that you don’t need much to get off the grid.
1967 Land Rover 109 Series IIA NADA
What we like: This Series II certainly is the oldest car here (not by much, though), but its character, rugged good looks and spartan interior are hard to beat. The luxuries pretty much stop at the aftermarket safari rack, modern seatbelts and easy-to-clean Rhino-lined floor and bed: the perfect low-maintenance getaway vehicle.
From the seller: A refurbishment by the second owner is thought to have included a repaint, new clutch, brakes, and a rebuild of the 2625cc inline-six eight years ago. Alterations from stock include an aftermarket safari rack, modern seatbelts, a hydraulic clutch, and rhino-lined flooring. The current owner acquired this example three years ago and has added only 500 miles since.
Mileage: TMU (refurbished)
Location: Springfield, Missouri
