1970 Mercedes Benz Unimog 406, Germany

About the Item

Incredible 1970 Mercedes Benz 406 Unimog in gold. Sold with a matching late 1960s Rokon Trailbreaker motorcycle strapped to the truckbed. Extremely heavy duty and powerful Mercedes truck. Engine recently serviced and in excellent condition. Working blinkers, head lights, tail lights, horn, manual windows and quarter windows. Brakes in excellent condition with major stopping power for such a big vehicle. So much fun to drive. Street legal and passing safety check. Heavy duty remote controlled winches on the front and back of the truck to get you out of any situation you can imagine. Currently on display at our Hamptons location. 37,069 of these Unimogs were made in the Unimog plant in Gaggenau from 1963 to 1989. This was the first medium duty Unimog with more than 2x the engine power than the 401. Original diesel truck engine with 21 speed transmission. A snorkel was added onto the engine meaning this vehicle can be driven while submerged in water up to the hood while still feeding air to the engine. This vehicle was made to satisfy the demands in the early 1960s for a heavy duty Unimog to compete with the larger and more powerful agricultural tractors which had become so popular during the late 1950s in Germany. The Unimog was built for forestry and agricultural needs and has since been adopted into any field in which a rugged, timeless vehicle was needed.
