Description:

This is a no-reserve auction in which Alabama Classics LLC offers another ultra rare and very nice-looking and nice riding/driving Off-road 4X4 vehicle. This 1989 Isuzu Trooper RS has a very cool and very expertly done conversion to the Isuzu C223 4 cylinder Diesel engine. While it won't win any drag races, it does accelerate nicely to 75-80 mph and these engines easily achieve 25 mpg in the Isuzu P'up Diesel pickup trucks with 4 speed manual transmission. With a 5 Speed behind it in this Trooper RS it probably does just as well or better. This truck's previous owner gave up on it after a tough no-start condition kept him from getting it running. Eventually the electrical and fuel injection issue was solved here at Alabama Classics and now it runs great. A compression check on the engine revealed 400 psi or better on all cylinders. The engine is said to have only 110, 000 miles on it and we believe it. There are a couple of issues with some rust along the driver's side rear quarter panel above the wheel well and on the driver's side lower windshield. But otherwise, for a 27 year old Isuzu Trooper, this truck is incredibly rust-free. These, like most Japanese cars and trucks of the era, were prone to bad cases of corrosion. The paint has a few surface scratches and blemishes, and there are a few small dings and dents as typical on a 27 year old vehicle. Otherwise this Trooper is in great shape with a lovely sparkle and shine in its paint. The ride quality is very nice. We replaced some rear suspension shackle bushings, but otherwise the chassis is tight and the ride is very nice. The installer of the Diesel engine conversion wired in a very neat glow plug and cold-start injection switch leaving control of the glow plugs to the driver. All gauges function, with a custom integrated Diesel tachometer that works well, no A/C but the heat does work well. Power steering, 5 speed manual transmission, and two-speed transfer case. While we do try to balance our enthusiasm for the beautiful vintage trucks that we bring to market with honest representations of our vehicles' flaws we may miss something from time to time so we encourage 3rd party inspections as well as for you to ask as many questions as you like. If you prefer to have a conversation leave an email with your phone number and we will gladly call. This is a no-reserve auction and this truck is also for sale locally so we reserve the right to sell the vehicle at a price we deem suitable and end the auction at our discretion. So bid with confidence and bid to win.

“This ultra rare 89 Isuzu Trooper RS Diesel is even more rare thanks to an excellent Isuzu C223 Diesel Engine conversion performed some time in the past. It has integrated diesel tachometer and nicely done glow plug and cold start injection circuits. With only a few blemishes in its finish it sparkles and shines beautifully for a 27 year old off-roader. There is a spot of corrosion above the driver's side wheel well on the rear quarter panel and a little spot of corrosion at the base of the windshield on the driver's side. Otherwise there is only light surface rust on the undercarriage and the rest of the body is corrosion-free. The original wheels have some oxidation on them and the tires are new BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO 33X1050X15”
