Up for sale as a base truck for build-out as an expedition truck, is a very unique Unimog 1300L with an OM352A turbo diesel engine, inline 6 cylinder, 5.7l and 170hp.
The OM352A turbo engines are equipped with a piston dome cooling, in order to compensate the additional load a turbo places on the engine. Unimog itself stands for „Universal-Motor-Gerät“, an allrounder when it comes to off-road activities and capabilities. The 435 Unimog is designed as an 8.5 metric tons truck, about 18,700lbs GVWR. Comparable to other Unimogs, it has a ladder frame, portal axles and coil springs allowing an axle-articulation of up to 30°. Quite impressive! This Unimog 435 is built with a 3,250mm/128” wheelbases. The gearbox is a fully synchronized 8-speed manual gearbox, shift-able between forward and reverse (reversing gear), with lockable differentials. It uses hydraulic power steering and combined air powered - hydraulic brakes. Disk brakes on all wheels. The drive can be switched between two-wheel, all-wheel and all-wheel locked. The driver cabin has a hatch with three different positioning options. This Unimog is in a practically new condition with very extraordinary, rare radiator grille painted in its original color. Also already equipped with a 2x 3-point mount for a subframe, in order to install a cabin on top.
The 435 Unimog was sold to countless armies and fire services in various versions, all over the world. They are very reliable and one of the best, if not the best Off-Road trucks still available.
This one was ordered by a Swiss fire service in Gaggenau, Germany (the original internal order paperwork from Mercedes is avaialble). This is where Mercedes built its Unimogs’. It was put in service in 1984 and its first maintenance was done in November 1984 at 920 km (570miles). The last maintenance was with the Swiss firefighters in March 2015 at 20.935 km (13,000miles). Today the odometer shows 22.200 km (13,600miles). With 20 documented services, there was a maintenance done approx. every 1.000 kilometers (600 miles). That is absolutely amazing history (all maintenance paperwork back to 1984 available).
This 435 Unimog was bought in 2018 from the fire service. The fire service platform was removed, and the chassis, axle, cabin, pneumatics and much more was refurbished. A new exhaust as well as new shocks on the rear axle were installed. All fluids, filters, and v-belts were checked and replaced when necessary. When you glance at the pictures of this Unimog you will realize that the condition is close to new. This is a great base-truck as a basis for an adventurous expedition truck / overlander, with hundreds of thousands of miles to go.
This Unimog is offered at: $66,500.00, including new tires, and can be setup as expedition truck like in the additional picture. More pictures and information upon requetst. I am familiar with Unimogs and should be able to answer your questions. Thanks for watching! Martin - 239-850-3663.
The Unimog 435 comes with an US-title, of couse.
