Bizarre 710K

[VinceAtReal4x4s]

Just ran across this ad. Can't recall a more oddball butcher job. Nissan parts, including the front end...?? Can't imagine the hours spent. Gotta love that approach angle now plus the diamond plate "fenders". The good thing is the spotlight has its own cage.

Sad sight given how few K's are out there.

I dont understand what some people think when they rebuild a PINZGAUER Like That....do they realy think it makes them better

[VinceAtReal4x4s]

Maybe it will be nice until the diffs and transfer blow up with all the extra power, or when the next owner tries to figure out what parts are needed to fix something. Not to mention the growing number of cities that do smog testing and look for original equipment. In Ca. it would never pass any kind of testing.

But isn't it a 1975, so smog exempt in California ?

It is now
listed on eBay.

Shouldn't one be able to buy this and get it registered in California? I doubt there are pinzgauer experts at the DMV.

[VinceAtReal4x4s]

There's no way on earth that thing is making past the Ca. CARB BS. You can't even get a stock '75 registered unless it's almost by error, much less this, which is purely non-stock and ultimately above the cut-off date for a non-US auto. It would be a nightmare to own, trust me on that.

Is That ugly Thing still alive....think its time to let Godzilla play with it

Current bid $15,100 and below minimum.

Here's the thing on that thing, someone might buy it, then
register here -- well, hmmmm, how to we break the news to
that person

It's back on flEabay. I don't recall if he was throwing John Staluppi's name around before, but I see no reason that John Staluppi would have any interest in this sort of thing, seems like utter bs, like the claimed $50,000 in expense.

And YIKES, current bid $20,400 -- reserve NOT meet

I mean WTF, really? First who'd offer $20K and second, reserve
not meet -- wonder what he thinks this Frankengauer is worth

Haha, saw that too! $20,000+? wtf, if someone will give him that he should take it and run!
