[AT] I want this!

My son and I belong to the Rhode Island Military Vehicle Collectors Club and the vice president of the club has a Unimog he bought from this place:

Basically what you do is tell them what vehicle/model you want. The will restore it from the ground up to factory new condition. I got to ride in his Unimog when the club went on a trail ride in Northern RI. The vehicle is in outstanding condition, can haul 10,000 lb and get 15 mpg loaded or unloaded. He had to wait 6 months to get his and it ended up costing $35,000. When you consider the cost of a new pickup truck this is a good deal. Here is a picture of the truck.

The Unimog was built in Germany by Daimler and was sold under contract 
to J.I. Case in the U.S. Saw a demonstration of it at the old Farm Science 
show when it was held on the Ohio State university grounds in Columbus. A 
man near East Liberty, Ohio owns 2 of them My brother Gary does the 
maintenance on them. One is a very nice machine that he parades 
occasionally. The other in less attractive, but it also runs. Gary says they 
are kinda crude and noisy and rough riding.

I think Case-IH (Tenneco) sold Unimogs for a while. A local guy had one 
he imported from the U.K. and used it 
as a truck and tractor. Saw him pulling a good sized deep tillage 
cultivator in the field one day. Other days 
tearing down the road as fast as some trucks. 
I think I'd rather have a JCB.
