1984 Mercedes-Benz Unimog

This 1984 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U1300L was imported into the US and subsequently acquired by the current owner in November 2017. Finished in gray over gray cloth upholstery, the truck is powered by a 5.7-liter turbodiesel inline-six mated to an eight-speed manual transmission, and an overdrive unit and working group gears are said to be fitted. Additional features include a custom-built raised roof, locking front and rear differentials, portal axles, dual fuel tanks, fold-down tailgate and bedsides, a snorkel, a Superwinch winch, a pintle hitch, jerry cans, a removable bed-mounted hoist, a roof-mounted air conditioning unit, and air-ride seats. This U1300L is offered on dealer consignment in Colorado with a clean Montana title in the current owner’s company name. The truck is finished in gray and is said to have been repainted under prior ownership. The truck features a custom-built raised roof and additional exterior details include a Superwinch Talon 18,000-lb winch, an intake snorkel, black-finished front flares, a stacked exhaust pipe, dual fuel tanks, jerry cans, and rear spotlights. Corrosion is noted on bed hinges and additional close-up images detailing badging, lighting, and trim are provided in the gallery below. Black-finished 20″ steel wheels are mounted with 365/80 Continental MPT-81 tires. The Unimog utilizes hydraulic power steering and compressed air-powered dual hydraulic circuit disc brakes. The fold-down tailgate and bedsides open to expose a diamond-plate floor, a storage box, a spare wheel and tire, and a removable hoist. The cabin is equipped with air-ride captain’s chairs trimmed in gray cloth with armrests. The floors are finished in a black textured coating and appointments include a roof-mounted air conditioning system, grab handles, sun visors, and a glove compartment. A two-spoke steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation that includes a 100-km/h speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 55k kilometers (~31k miles), approximately 7,500 of which have been added by the current owner. The 5.7-liter turbodiesel inline-six sends power to the rear or all four wheels through an eight-speed manual transmission, and an overdrive unit, working gears, and a clutch booster are said to be fitted. The turbocharger and intercooler have been replaced. The truck features a dual-range transfer case, front and rear locking differentials, and portal axles.
