No Puking Here Buddy: 1973 Steyr Puch Pinzgauer 710M


If you roll up to the school drop off zone with a used Land Rover, everybody judges you. Many will assume you are some rich show off, those in-the-known might guess (correctly) that half the power features don't work and the bumper is held together with zipties, but most people will dismiss your oddness and get on with life.  Show up with a Steyr Puch Pinzgauer and people might guess you are part of a citizens militia, but they certainly won't dismiss you oddness. Find this 1973 Steyr Puch Pinzgauer offered for $14,000 near Denver, CO.

10k: Stuck In Neutral: 1962 Unimog 404, Troop Carrier

The Unimog (short for "UNIversal-MOtor-Gerät", Gerät meaning machine in German) is a multi-purpose medium duty truck originally built in post war Germany for "agricultural" purposes due to the post war anti-military production sanctions on the country that had twice tried to take over the world in the span of 25 years.  Sanctions or not, there was little to stop the engineering might of the guys who designed rocket (Me-163) and jet (Me-262) when everyone else was still trying to figure out how to make propeller planes and Daimler-Benz produced the first Unimog prototype in 1946.  This 1962 Unimog 404 was a Swiss Troop carrier but is now fully legally registered in the USA and for sale in Carson City, NV for $9250 via craigslist.  Seller submission from Tom D.
