Fun Day Car

Here is my new to me fun day car. Not sure about calling this thing a car!
1975 Pinzgauer 710M.
x Swiss military vehicle.

That's a neat piece.

 

[Big Barn]

Pretty cool. What do you do on your fun days?

 

[dodge man]

What powers it? I need one of those, but I don't know why.

If you have any problems getting stuck there are options.

The engine is a air cooled 4-cylinder gasoline with 2 carburetors which produces around 90hp. Has 2 oil pumps which allows motor to run at 45 angle front to back and 43 side angle. The motor cylinders are sideways and flat so the heads point towards driver side.
This vehicle is a well engineered for off-roading already but those tracks .....
Will convert pintle hitch to 2" square tube and add 12V trailer connections as this is a 24v system. Then it will haul my camping cargo trailer around.
It will top out at about 65 mph. 2 speed transfer case, 5 speed transmission, 3 hydraulic lockers for front to back, back, and fronts, so all 4 wheels could be locked together.
Armstrong steering, but vacuum boosted brakes, heater and defrosters have a heat collector off the exhaust.

That is so cool! It would make the ultimate off-road boondoggle camper!

What are your plans for it?

 

[RobS]

Very cool!

Congrats. Those look like so much fun. I have a friend in South Lake Tahoe who has a hardtop. He loves it.

Very odd way to mount the brake booster? Sorry, old mechanic commenting... lol
