Runs and drives as it should for a 1965 Unimog. Top speed around 50 mph. Double springs in the rear with wrap around spring cushions. Rear cab is 6ft. Stand up overhead height. Truly one of a kind… articulating rear box suspension.

With a small amount of work (ie: wheel cylinder) and minor fixes, this Unimog will be ready for regular use.

Engine starts right up, no smoke or blow by and runs strong. The larger engine gives this Unimog a little more power and top end over stock. The whole build is very clean and well done.

Needs:

Passenger side rear wheel cylinder recently gave up, hence, no brakes at the moment. Relatively easy fix. Emergency brake works great though.

A/C and Heating system, I have not used or troubleshooted. Its all there, but I have not used.

One interior inside rear LED light fixture is not working.

Interior Fan (on same circuit) not working.

Speedo not currently working.

Might be able to deliver if located in Northern California.

Actual mileage is unknown.
