1981 Aussie spec rhd hj47 Troopy. Former Australian ambulance with a high roof. Inner wheel well were removed as well. This Troopy would make a good camper/ overlander build. First and foremost this is a project truck. It runs, drives, shifts, and stops like it should. It has been sitting for about 6 or 7 years and driven on occasion. It has all the normal rust issues, most of it around the rear windows. There is some at the cowl sides, but the windshield area looks solid where it meets the cowl. The inside looks worse than it is as there was carpet glued the the sides and roof. Some rust through in the front floors next to the inner rockers. The frame is dry, rust free, very solid.
Some pros,
Runs and drives
Big bull bar with huge driving lights
High roof( very heavy and well made)
Rear arb air locker with pump
Tires are in great shape
Cons,
Rust
Booster leaks,
Needs glow plugs , starts very quickly with starting fluid
Typical smoke on start up but clears up after a few minutes
Svc, baseline all fluids and filters
No title, sold with a bill of sale
Was imported about 10 years ago legally from Australia, bouced around the states and ended up in California a few years ago. It cannot be registered here in California, so hoping a mudder can pick it up and get it going in a less restrictive state! I think this could easily be cleaned up a driven while doing some rust repair, and enjoy while working on little repairs. Or pull the body off and go down the rabbit hole!! Located in the Bay Area, California and happy to load onto car carrier for shipping. Please be serious and know this is a running project that will need some work,no you can’t drive it home, no title, no tags. Priced at a reasonable $9500.
