1969 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 404

We’ve seen some differing takes on the Unimog recently, including a more modern 90s example and a nice change of color on a white 416. Those were cool, but today’s rings truest to the original inspiration of my Mog love, owned by my childhood best friend’s dad (also owner of an Estoril E36 M3 sedan and a strong collection of Ducatis). When it comes to affordability, even restored versions of the barebones original 404 are way up there when it comes to cool, weird, classic 4x4s. For less money than a brand-new, 2WD, no-option pickup, you could scare every other car off the road. These are certainly a want and not a need, but their impracticality in everyday life (or at least my everyday life) is strongly countered by rather low prices.

DISCLOSURE ITEMS

IN FULL DISCLOSURE, THE ITEMS WORTH NOTING INCLUDE:

-THERE ARE A COUPLE CHIPS IN THE PAINT. SEE DETAILED PICTURES.

This looks exactly like the one we used to rumble to the baseball fields in for a little lazy summertime homerun derby with some beers provided by my older brother. If you live in an area with space (not the Bay Area), why NOT have one of these out back when you can probably get it for less than $15k?
