1979 Mercedes 1017 DOKA
Hi, noticed your posting for a 1017. I am planning on selling mine, imported from Germany last year and I've made little progress. Facing facts that managing a 3 State area for a large company and having a family are tough commitments. I'm looking to sell and get a Defender 110, something I would drive more often. Mine is a 1979 with the same OM352a turbo diesel as the newer Unimogs. only 22,000 Kilometers (log book included), was kept in a firehouse so it's been well maintained. No rust. Front seats are tired/split and have covers on them. It's a rare DOKA/Crew Cab version with a huge interior and seating for 6-8 depending on how cramped you want to be. Diamond plate roof for easy tent install or the rear can be converted to anything now that the fire pump and 600 gallon have been gutted. I sourced a rare set of Atlas wheels and brand new Michelin XZL 46" tires so the stance and ground clearance are awesome. Not sure what a fair price would be. Hoping the attached photo opens, I'm new to this site.

Talk to Terry Lee Enterprises in La Junta, CO. They may have a 1017 for sale.

Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus - used Mercedes firetrucks
Those interested in used Mercedes trucks might want to check out Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus - https://www.firetruckmall.com/
You can search on Mercedes to narrow the field. There are a number of Unimog variants among the offerings.
I have only looked at their web pages, and have no actual experience or other knowledge about them.

We will soon be selling ours after a trip in North and South America. It is a 4x4 1017A with an extended 1.5 cab.

Just a heads up that most (or all) of Brindlee Mountain's 'European' Fire trucks are still in Europe, not stateside. If you search each truck, they are normally being brokered for a dealer overseas.
