SOLD: 1965 Unimog 404 radio truck Colorado Springs CO
I'm selling my beloved 1965 404.1 German radio truck.
Starts and runs great. It does have the air compressor. I had the
clutch replaced about the time I got it. It was recently tuned up. It
has the mid-altitude carb jets in it. It also has the shoulder seat
belts. Desks, chairs, and most of the electricals (lighting and power
distribution panel) are intact inside. It has the Schwingfeuer heater
on top, but I've never used it. Includes a new 24V Pierce 12,500LB winch
which has never been installed on the vehicle. Overall I would say the mog
is in great condition. Interior of the cab and the radio box are in great
condition. The convertible top is in rough shape. Includes 2 military
antennas. $7500 negotiable.

The odometer lists something like 21k kilometers, but I have no way
of knowing how accurate that is. The odometer itself clicks off
the
distance accurately, but I don't know how long the existing odometer
and engine have been in the vehicle, etc before I got it. It had
about
16k when I got it and that was about 8 years ago. Mine is
ex-German,
has the stock engine (M180, 2.2 liter 6-cylinder), 2 axles, there is a
little bit of rust in the driver side fender where the door closes.
There is some rust on the swing away door that covers the
schwingfeuer
heater up top. The convertible top is in rough shape. I
don't know
how old it is. Overall, the vehicle is in excellent shape, runs
well,
and had a tuneup about a year ago. It has always been extremely
reliable and doesn't have any reliability problems. When I had
the
tuneup done last year (valve adjustment, fluids, engine tuneup) I
didn't have the carb rebuilt but I had the carb rebuilt about 5 years
ago and haven't put many miles on it. The fuel lines are clean
and the
selector valve to switch between tanks is smooth and works well.
It
shifts smooth, synchros are in good shape. The flywheel on the
starter
has some
tooth wear, so it will occasionally grind when trying to start. I
just
release the start button quickly and it works fine the second
time. It always starts and runs well. Alternator is in good
shape. I
have the Pertronix electronic ignition module in a box, but never
installed it. It has the H4 halogen headlights installed.
It does
have the stock air compressor which works fine. The clutch was
replaced
about 7 years ago. Remember I have only put about 5k km on it
since I got it.
The radio box is in great shape, fairly complete. It has 2
swivel
chairs with seatbelts, the desks and cabinets, desk lamps (I put one of
the desk lamps in the cab attached to the roll bar that the 3-point
seatbelts attach to, so it works like a dome light). The radio box does
not have any of the original radios or the original generator but it
does have the battery system, overhead lighting, two
roof hatches, the heater (which I've never used) and 2 antennas.
It
also has the rifle racks and one folding chair. I also added a
24V
computer UPS that plugs into the battery box in the radio box and acts
as an inverter. The radio box interior is in excellent condition.
One
of the windows is broken (left rear door) because someone threw a rock
at it. It's a flat piece of glass and the rubber gasket is still
intact. The replacement needs to be rectangular with the corners
rounded but I haven't replaced it (plexiglass would probably be
easiest). I just put one of the blackout shutters over it.
(It has
the blackout shutters and blackout lighting too)
The plastic windows in the convertible top (driver and passenger door)
are old and brittle and need to be replaced, but they're just the
flexible plastic used in jeeps and such. Any convertible shop can
get
you the plastic for them. I was thinking about replacing them
with
plexiglass since they don't actually need to flex but I never got
around to it. I have at least one of the spotlights that mount on
the
bracket on the front fender (which take the same headlight assembly as
the headlights) a bunch of extra gas cans (it has racks underneath for
3 fuel cans), the tire chains, a spare rifle rack, one water can (same
size as the gas cans but a different color and lined with something).
Here are some pics of mine that are mostly closeup detail shots
because there weren't any good detail shots of unimogs online.

Here are some detail shots inside the radio box. You can see the
condition it's in
but not what all is in there. (For an identical unit, see Bob's
listed below.)

Here are a bunch of pics under the hood:

I also have a Pierce 12k pound electric winch (24volt) that has never
been used and never installed on the vehicle.
These are some pictures I took of my friend Bob's radio truck before I
got mine. His came over on the same boat as mine and is what
convinced me to get mine which is identical except for the color.
(Mine is green.) It was also a sunny day so the pics turned out
nice.
