Yes, the "Hunter Special" is the Jagdwagen. Contrary to previous posts, it is not a TriStar, it has only 3 doors - not 4, and it has only one sunroof. It is a large sunroof, but is not positioned over the rear seats, and does not open far enough to allow someone to stand and shoot from inside the vehicle. It does, however, have slide-open rear windows to perhaps accomodate that type of activity. The locking gun safe, located in the underbelly storage area, is made of very heavy gauge steel and adds considerable weight. I have considered removing it, but it really seems to be permanently installed. The Hunter, which is painted Escorial Green, is undergoing restoration. I have been without it for 7 weeks now, and my body/paint friends are just about finished - I expect to have it back home in the next few days. |
