a chance to buy a 1957 Unimog. It is a working vehicle (not prettified). >What is it worth? Anyone. >-Larry
Apparently Unimogs handle REALLY badly, and the independently-suspended cab leans severely in corners, in addition to the chassis' lean! I have read that their 4WD abilities are not good either. The NZ "army" (toy soldiers) have them, and I imagine they sell off the older ones. No way would I look at one. Stick with Vanagons.
