I Want This Unimog And You Will Too
I Want This Unimog And You Will Too-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:25

This 1976 Mercedes-Benz Unimog has everything you want and nothing you don't. Luckily for you, it's goes under the hammer tomorrow, so you still got time.

Bonhams is organizing an auction at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart tomorrow afternoon, and this 1976 Unimog 406 Doppelkabine 4x4 Utility might just be the coolest vehicle .

It's got an 84 horsepower six-cylinder diesel with 3,300 work hours on the clock, but thanks to its original role of being an aircraft tug for the German Army, it spent most of its life in hangars and has a rust-free body to prove it. And there's more good stuff:

Noteworthy features include a converter clutch; power take-off shaft at the front for additional gear; 'Schmidt' plate to attach further tools (snowplough, front loader, etc); ball-hitch tow-bar; rear luggage platform; Webasto vehicle heater (retrofitted in 1995); front and rear safety belts; and the original speedometer (detached but with vehicle).

With its new wheels, tires, and seats that got refurbished some time ago, this five-seater is - there's no other way of putting it - perfect.

For more, just head

Watch This Guy Load His Suzuki Samurai Into An Ordinary Pickup Truck
Suzuki Samurais are not only lightweight, but they’re tough as nails, and have the approach, departure and breakover angles to climb and crest even the gnarliest hills. But most importantly, they’re small. Really small. Samurais are so small, in fact, that you can park one in the bed of a...
