I was very pleased yesterday while driving through my rural farm town to see a desert tan 4x4 pinz pass me going the other way, if I weren't going to meet someone I would've pulled a 180 and followed him :wavey:
There is a guy in you neck of the woods importing Pinzgauers from the Swiss Army Surplus; the guy's name is Vince, but I don't remember hus website. There is also one in GA
www.eurotruck-importers.com.
BTW, every year on the last Wednesday in April is the Swiss Army auctioning off surplus vehicles in Thun (about 1/2 hours south of the capital Berne). I have not been there in a about 5 years, but then you really could get great stuff there. Most Pinzgauers were in decent conditions needing some TLC. They went for about CHF6,000 to 10,000 (USD 4,800 - 8,000)
Real deals were some cherry Unimog 404 selling at $1,500. Unluckily the 404 has a gas engine, power is marginal and the thirst outrageaous. Also the frog-like driving position in these old Mogs are not to everybody's liking.
