Schwarzenegger's Unimog truck for sale
« on: January 21, 2016, 07:42:35 AM »
Schwarzenegger's $350,000 Mercedes-Benz truck waiting for a buyer on eBay
By Tyler White

Arnold Schwarzenegger's former 1977 Mercedes-Benz Unimog, a ridiculous truck that looks more like a tank, is being sold by a Texas company on eBay for a whopping $350,980.

The silver truck comes with a 6.4L Turbocharged Diesel I6 Engine, a tire inflation system and several other crazy bells and whistles.

It also comes with photos of the former California governor leaning against the Unimog, a rearview camera system and vinyl air-ride seats, according to the eBay posting.

The Unimog has 1,865 miles on the odometer. $350,980 is the "buy it now price." as of Wednesday it appears there were six inquiries into the sale, but no bids. eBay listed 678 people as "watching" the auction, which will expire at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.

“Arnold has long shown an appreciation for vehicles as macho as the action heroes he has portrayed during his silver-screen days. Now you can buy one of them,” according to the listing.

The vehicle was previously sold by the “The Governator” for $275,000, according to Mercedes Blog.

The auction page on eBay states the current seller is Texas Direct Auto.

Looks bad ass from the outside but what a crappy looking interior. Looks like your every day car, not even Mercedes, why the hell did they cheap out like that? Guess there was no interior filming?

It's not cheap - it's simple in a Russian way. Two other cars that had the same "style" going were the Lada Tiger and the Fiat Panda.
It's just a no nonsense approach though I guess the parts in Arnies ride are made from far better material than in the two mentioned above.

It's an old car, but they did make changes like the stereo.

It looks like they wanted to keep the old feel of it.

But I agree, it doesn't look comfortable. Probably another reason no miles are on it.

What would this cost "stock" without the Arnold factor?

I see, yeah.  Must have been thinking of something from an article I read a couple years back.
