I get 30mpg from time to time in my pinz, but eventually I reach the bottom of the hill.

"30-35mpg" and "Shows 1906 km on the odo, if it's rolled 100 I wouldn't know" are just priceless.

What? Do you mean to say you don't get 30 to 35 Meters Per Gallon in your pinz :wink: . Guess I will have to recalculate mine.

It might be worth 10K if he didn't inflate it's abilities. Can't just paint something
and make it a super pinz.

Nice looking rims. Perhaps it has got a different engine in it, hopefully the new owner will pop up on here soon

I wonder how efficient the stock Pinz engine would be in a lighter, more aerodynamic vehicle?

as you watch the vids and look at the pics you can see that this truck has seen some offroad use. It would appear that the seller is not a pinz guy but rather a dealer and more than likely made a mistake in the listing of the engine. I could not help but notice the little things like no wiper motor, dents in the gas tank, bent up rear bumperette, bad door panels..... Seems a little rich for a truck in this shape but like has been mentioned on here before, if this one sells for that amount just think what your truck is worth.

Guys I just hope (tongue in cheek) that I am not being insufferable when I say that My 710k easily gets 30MPG imperial.........just not with the original engine (OM602 DIESEL).........I did once run a car that got the same gas mileage as a standard Benzine powered Pinz......it was a Vanden Plas Princess 4Ltr R (Rolls Royce 4Ltr motor)!!!! I,ve just this minute come from a Landrover Forum where they were discussing the merits of the 6 in Line 2.6 Ltr Rover Benzine engine (a very smooth and quiet water cooled motor) I am guessing that this Landrover engine gets somewhere like the same gas mileage as the Steyr air cooled? (they claim about 15/16MPG imperial for the Landrover engine. (I apologise for not researching, I can honestly say that I have not a clue what a Benzine powered Pinz does to the gallon! I bought my Pinz already converted by the 'Pinzmeister' I really could not have afforded to run a Benz Powered Pinz in UK at those fuel prices....so I comissioned the 'meister' to find a good 710k and convert for me. (Please note that this conversion suits me and my local conditions and the roads I drive...it would not suit some of you)
