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

All the trucks had a blanked off antenna mount in the center of the front roll bar. IIRC , on my old 710M radio truck, both seats were on the same side.
But it did have an additional amphenol power connector on the left rear corner by the tail lamp. I don't see that on this truck.
If you have a good pic of the front of the truck, you might see discoloration where the mounts for the crank-up antenna were, if this was a radio truck

Some good news....if all works out, I should have this Pinz in my Garage by Feburay 29th!!!

Great news!

Time to open that champagne you've been saving for a special occasion. When I first got mine, I used to walk out to the driveway at times just to make sure it wasn't a dream.

Ya, I do that with things too.... ...my wife just laughs.

mine is usually " I bought that?!... and why?"
and come to think of it, my friends do too !
My neighbors think I'm crazy and leave me alone... and I like that fine... which makes every purchase worth it

Have never christened the pinz but, I did the Mog by pouring some German beer on the bonnet and drinking the rest.
Small ceremony in my driveway.

Well, I have my insurance stub in my hand, and a Certified Cheque in my pocket.....I am off to Pinzgauer Canada in the morning.

Excellent! Have fun!

A few beers are good for sleeping tonight.

I wish! Getting as much OT at work as I can right now to cover the truck, so I am here until 11PM tonight (started at 7AM)..... and did the same yesterday...

Good stuff! Enjoy!

56 posts, almost 1000 views, now all waiting for pics of the ride, although Berger is very busy working. Every Pinz owner celebrates someone's new aquisition.

Well, I am home...actually I am at my local having a pint before I head home. Had to show it off a little!! A buddy and I left Ottawa around 8:30 and got to Pinzgauer Canada by 10:45. Great time in the Iltis, but it was chilly....-8 celcius. Anyway, truck was ready to go, went through the controls etc, and we were out by 12:15. The trip home was great! Quite a few thumbs up. The Pinzgauer is louder than the Iltis, but definitely less drafty and warmer. I did discover a few things that I never noticed during the test drive etc....the odometer doesn't work, nor does the trip meter. I sent Karl an Email. We also had the heater going and it worked fine, but after it shut down from blowing heat, I switched it off for a bit...then when I put it back on, it only blew Luke warm air and not heat. I let it run for about 10 minutes, still no heat. Is there a breaker that blew?

Anyway, I am on my iPhone now, and I don't think I can upload photos with it.

Unfortunately, the tires are not stock, so it rides higher than I expected and it won't fit in my garage...yet. I will deflate them some and get it in there. Here are some pics...

Farewell to the Iltis...



Leaving...


Stop to show it off...


Parked...for now.
