RE: 85 Mog on e bay..

KERR,

The 416's usually have a top speed around 50-53 mph, but you could always put bigger tires on it and turn the top speed on the injection pump up a bit to get a little more speed. The price might stay down on it, but last week there was a 1979 single cab 406 Unimog on E-bay that brought $37,400, it did have a bunch of impliments with it though.

Cheers,
Ben

Yeah, I'd expect the price on this one to spike toward the end of the auction, It's really nice!

RE: 85 Mog on e bay..

That UNIMOG was a consignment truck on my lot for a couple of years.  You may remember it as the orange one.  It was in very rough shape and unless they did a lot of cutting/welding on the door bottoms, it is still going to be rough.

It's funny that all of the photos in the auction of the bodywork are crappy.  You can't see a thing in any of the photos.

Sean,

So that is where the orange DoKa went to. Thanks for the heads up on it.

Cheers,
Ben

Ah hah, trying to be sneaky. Potential buyers will hopefully look close at it and not get screwed!!!

Re: 85 Mog on e bay..

What all models did they make in a crew cab?

RE: 85 Mog on e bay..

They made pretty much all of the models of Unimog with a DoKa (crew) cab optional. I like the SBU's best, infact I've got a U1250L Doka being sent down to me to do engine work on and it will be for sale by it's owner once I go through it mechanically. You could also get a 404 doka with a soft top (convertable style ).

Cheers,
Ben
