Vehicle Description
Do you have a remote piece of land that you want to reach even when
the conditions aren't right? Do you want to be the first one to
carry everyone and the supplies? Do you want the journey to get fun
just as Jeeps reach their limit? That's what this 1975 Pinzgauer
710M was made to do.
Not familiar with the Pinzgauer? Steyr-Puch is a famous maker of
military-grade equipment in Austria. They were responsible for
developing the highly capable Mercedes G-Wagon, and the Pinzgauer
is its special forces relative. In fact, this Pinzgauer was good
enough for the Swiss Army, and so we bet it can do whatever you
need. The body was developed to maximize long-lasting efficiency.
That's why you have features like the rigid panels ribbed for
strength, a cab-forward design, and plenty of steel locking storage
boxes. There's even a trailer hitch to carry along extra supplies.
But even as serious as this machine is, this is the soft-top "M"
model. So go-anywhere capabilities can be met with open-air
convertible fun.
The interior is rugged, versatile, and provides you with pure
function. The steering wheel feels purposeful and grippy, and the
manual transmission is right where you want it. You do get a
working heater, which is a welcomed piece that you don't find on
all military-grade vehicles. The passenger area shows more of the
military-grade engineering. The opposed bench seating will sit up
to eight people total. But when there's not an entire squad that
needs transporting, this easily transforms into a flat load floor
capable of two NATO pallets. In fact, this has a full one-ton
capacity!
When you take some time to look at the undercarriage photos, you
will instantly understand what makes a Pinzgauer so special. It has
fully independent suspension with portal axles built over a rugged
tube chassis. The result is better ground clearance and individual
angles for each wheel. The correct 2.5-liter motor is mounted along
this rigid backbone that gives it sturdy position to power the
front and rear axles. This is an air-cooled engine, and so has
superior operation in extreme weather conditions. It has great
low-end torque, and it's geared to take full advantage of it. Plus,
the five-speed manual transmission is mated to a two-speed transfer
case with shift-on-the-fly capability that was specifically
designed to give exceptional off-road performance when the 4x4 is
engaged. And it's impressive 4x4 prowess is enhanced further by
modern BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires.
The sale comes with all the right pieces - everything from service
manuals, to the owner's manual, to half-doors for those convertible
days. There are even some spare parts for this tough-as-nails
Austrian. So now that you know about the go-anywhere Pinzgauer, you
realize that this one is being offered for quite an obtainable
price. Don't miss out, call today!
