What a beast she is!!


All 2.5 stump pulling liters!



You can read a lot more about it here on my forum Pinz Post

I love this damn thing, its more fun to drive than a 914!

I just need to do something about that damn 911 style fan, bastard is too loud and sucking up all my power

I know a guy who can build you an engine for it!

stinky





Just kidding.

Jake,
You are what my mama [Who lives in Little Five Points, Ga.]calls a WERDO!
Thats a good thing!

Cool ride.
JT

Damn Qarl... you actually made me click on that site! My freakin computer almost exploded!

Yep, I have two engine cores on the way... first mod internally will be a set of custom Nickies (thanks Charles) and a bit of added displacement, I'll settle for a modest 3 liter for now...

oh wow.
You gonna drop a real RAT motor in there?

where in the world did you get it?

What's the bolt pattern? Looks like it could use some 16" fuchs and GT flares!

hey its the swedish army car amde by volvo...


VALP is the name for it

Its the same bolt pattern as a Mercedes Uni Mog... Centerline has a wheel that bolts right on..

I found it just up the road from my shop believe it or not, a lot of them are popping up here because This guy is located just down the road and we are in an excellent area for utilizing one of these beasts.

The 3 Liter would bolt right in... but I'd rather develop some components for the OEM engine... The new "IN" thing for the rich guys is a Pinz so I wanna make them open their wallets a tad bit as well...

There is so many possibilities with this engine, its freakin huge already and has *plenty* of room to grow.... I do believe I could build a 4 liter on this platform!

That Swedish Army Volvo has a FUCHIN RADIATOR!!! No damn radiators allowed on this property, what are ya, crazy or something!!

Raby - You are a freak!!

nice score man.

i drove a unimog.... not too much fun. i cant wait to see what you can do with this pinz

This one is definately fun to drive.. At the present its a bit slow on the highway, but its nothing a set of taller tiires and some added ponies won't cure!

Did Pinzgauers origianlly have aircooled motors? What type?

I see them around here every now and again, but never really thought about their powerplants. They are hella cool looking though.

saw one on the hwy a while back doing like 45 in the right lane. I don't think he could have gone any faster if he wanted to. I don't imagine they were built for speed though.

Guy at my work had one. Pretty F'n Cool. His wasn't the troop transport version, it had a full cab. I think it was a radio truck or something. Made in Austria by Steyr-Puch, aren't they?

Yep.. 2.5 Aircooled engines in the 4X4 710M (like mine) and 2.7 aircooled in the 712M (6X6)

The newer ones are Aircooled Diesels that share engines from Deutz Allis tractors..

All pinz are aircooled to my knowledge....

IIRC the Pinzgauer was Arnold's vehicle of choice when he was in the Austrian Army as a lad. He even (supposedly) purchased the exact vehicle he once drove.

Yep- His is a "Pinzinator"!!!

Herr terminator's ride a few years ago @ the BH MBZ Show. I actually took a 3rd place at this totally Ferrari MBZ Lambo show in the black 6.
Nice find Jake
Marty

Yep, thats the newer 716K

Its an aircooled Diesel.

Great score Jake, I love those things.

That ain't no stinkin' SUV takin' little snotty nose kids to soccer pratice.

OVERKILL is good!!!

Paul

i'll be waiting for the long 4wd burn out vid.

k

Paul, I can't wait till some SUV driver pisses me off- They might just find Swiss Army tire tracks over their hood!

There is no such thing as overkill!

Kevin,
this bad boy gets somuch traction I don't think it would spin the tires with 400 HP!

Last night I was looking at the layout and I'll be damned if a nice T3 Turbo wouldn't fit perfectly just before the heater box!!!! Add CIS injection and voila (and dirt cheap too)

Dang,

That sucker looks like a Vanagon/Thing cross breed....

Now my Vanagon doesn't look so cool anymore

KensufferingfromPinzLust

mine aint aircooled but I would pull against you for pinks!

Thats an "Osh Kosh"

I have driven one when I was in the Marines...

It has a Diesel engine that is both Turbocharged AND Supercharged!

But its not aircooled, so it may as well not even exist as far as I'm concerned!

I have to ask.... Whats the hangup with air-cooled water-cooled all about?

I just don't particularly care for engines that need radiators to stay cool...

Callme weird, but I'm a hardcore SOB that practices what he preaches!

I hate antifreeze!

OK, so ya wanna go aircooled, off-road and BIG, here ya go...8x8

You two should contact SPEED and run those two on an episode of PINKS! How many lengths ya want Bob? I've got a factory Video from Pinzgauer from the 60's or 70's, pretty funny stuff with the "soundtrack" makes me want a pair of bellbottoms. I can burn you a copy if you want Jake, just send me an engine kit in exchange

I drive and operate the Hemmit wrecker version of that vehicle...The one pictured above is a PLS...fucking hate working on those...when one of those comes in for an engine swap or vice versa...I do my disapearing act so I dont get put on that job...lol...I prefer working on humvees and LMTVs....Jake, bitchin ride btw, lol.

Made in Austria by Steyr-Puch, aren't they?

yepp they're

Made in Austria

Jake,

I really like the looks of the one you bought as opposed to the other options. It's gonna make quite a parts hauler... take those parts right up the side of the mountain-anytime.

How about some better pics of that engine and the interior?

Mmmmm..... Army Lusterless Green.....All 5 different color coats of it..

Ken

love that video. I want one!

Now this is MASSIVE!

you could put a 8L t4 in that beast

cool ride Jake.....

Another massive vehicle...My first dune buggy under it.
