As such, it has a 6.2-litre LS3 V8 like the one found in a Chevrolet Corvette, driving all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.
The car is registered in Montana but was up for sale in California and was owned by Button for around three years.
The advert says the chassis has also been enhanced with HD shock turrets, FOX performance shock absorbers, powder-coated HD sway bars, new end links and steering bars.
The car has also been repainted in Land Rover Velocity Blue, with contrasting gloss black for the roof, grille, headlight surrounds, wing vents, side protection runners and door handles.
The black theme continues on the aftermarket 18-inch alloy wheels.
Inside the dashboard has been upgraded to a more modern one and sporty buckets seats have been added.
The interior has been re-trimmed in black leather with blue piping and blue contrast stitching.
The advert reads: ‘This Land Rover 90 is a superb bespoke 4×4, re-engineered to incorporate a powerful LS3 V8 engine, uprated suspension, and a wider stance chassis setup.
‘It has also been fully upgraded and re-trimmed inside, meaning it now looks, drives and sounds like a modern 4×4.’
