This 1990 SsangYong Korando K9 is based on the Jeep CJ-7 and was imported from South Korea to the US by the seller in 2019. This long-wheelbase example is powered by an Isuzu-sourced 2.2L diesel inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. It is finished in cream over black, and equipment includes a Warn winch, a limited-slip rear differential, and a reversible second-row bench seat. This Korando is now offered with import documents and a clean Alabama title in the seller’s name.

The exterior is finished in cream and features a steel front bumper with an integrated Warn XD9000 winch and auxiliary driving lights as well as black fender flares, tinted windows, and a rear-mounted spare tire. The seller notes evidence of rust repair, bodywork, and paintwork. Rust, dings, and scratches are present on various body panels.

Aftermarket 15″ wheels wear Goodyear Wrangler MT/R tires. Equipment is said to include a suspension lift, a limited-slip rear differential with a 5.88:1 gear ratio, and manually locking front wheel hubs. Work performed during current ownership reportedly included the installation of replacement front driveshaft U-joints and an overhaul of the steering system.

The interior features front bucket seats and a reversible rear bench trimmed in black with a matching headliner and door panels. Amenities include air conditioning, power windows, a CB radio, and a rubber floor liner. The radio is missing, and the seller states that the air-conditioning system leaks.

Factory instrumentation includes a 140-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with a 4k-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level and water temperature. The black dashboard features a passenger-side grab handle and houses an auxiliary voltage gauge and the climate controls. The five-digit odometer shows 28k kilometers (~17k miles), 2k of which were added by the seller, and true mileage is unknown.
