THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

OK - so it is the end of March and normally I would have already started working on my Hafi but oh no - not this year!
It was -15C this morning and this cold, lack of Spring weather is starting to wear on me so...
I am just posting for some fun as I am still stuck inside and going mad!

Post pictures of poor neglected Pinzgauers (guess the one below gave me the idea)
1 picture per post - most neglected Pinz (judged by a Poll later) gets a Genuine 100% Authentic Collectors Haflinger stamp directly from Osterreich!!
Wow, that is an amazing prize for a Pinzgauer competition


No wrecked Pinzi's just neglected.

I will start the fun off with this gem from the classifieds (no offense to sellor):

This is one of my "rescues", one of the before pictures:

I "love" how there is no end of abused Hafi pics in the inter-webs, but almost all photos of Pinzi paint the vehicles in the most rugged and ready of conditions. Someone MUST have a photo of a Quebec Pinz with a "sale superleggera" frame.

I know nothing of this

Hah, that looks like the colors of a little shop in south Golden, CO.

My thoughts exactly! Struth, as he might put it.

At least that 712 is likely to go back together again, I'd think.

Come on - I know there out there!

Damn, that one needs to be saved. Bet the motor is toast so they just parked it. SE Asia?

That's not toast Chief. Now THIS is toast:

That one was burned - it will have to go to the judges

Found this (thanks to Google) on a local classifieds website, as illustration posted by someone looking for Pinz spares:

My vote goes to the Hawaiian Pinz with foliage on the wheels!!

Damn, look at the bright side... I'm sure everyone made it out

Abused and destroyed are what most of those are.
A drivetrain in a workshop is the furthest from being neglected

Though this isn’t what you imagine when you say “neglected” but fits the definition perfectly.

Only 262 miles from new, and left in a back field of a 220 acre fenced facility in south Texas for over 10 years.


Doesn't look too bad in the rain

It's pains me to know that I drive right by the place it sat and I never knew it. I even have a connection through work there. I'm friends with the owner of the hose company that had the contract for Stewart & Stevenson.

Ed, I have seen that six-by chassis sitting there for years. At least 5 years that I can remember.
