In the process of minor repairs, updating, etc. So far it has new tires (Cooper ATW), new battery, new front turn signals, etc.
It's a whole new learning curve from my Pinzees.

Sweet!!
I love it - post lots of pictures for us - perhaps the Puch G will get its own section on the board (even though it does not have portals
)
Now you just need a Haflinger to complete your SDP collection!!
If your up for a project:

Nice looking truck, Paul. One more reason why I need to stop by your place.

From what I understand these came with either a Mercedes brand or Getrag brand transmission. In my case it is the Getrag. I've seen some forum posts that prefer the Getrag but I don't know enough about it (yet) to have an opinion.

Can you snap a few interior pics?
What price range are we talking? Does it have ac?

The interior is fairly simple - lighting & heater controls in the dash but no a/c though some had it, and it's apparently not too hard to add but pricey. There's a spot in the dash for the radio but nothing there right now.
The power steering is nice! As are the power brakes with front discs.
Prices are all over the place depending on badging (Puch or Mercedes), equipment (diff lockers, a/c, automatic, etc.), engine and so on. I've seen them from $15k-25k and up for fancy ones.
