[MV] In need of a Unimog

Hi all,

I am now looking to get a Unimog and, unfortunately, get rid of the
Pinz. I absolutely love it, but we need only one utility vehicle and
our needs have changed. Instead of a go anywhere vehicle we need a do
anything vehicle. In other words, a workhorse. Here is what I'm
looking for:

Probably an early 1970s manufactured 416/417, but a 406 or some of the
"U" versions might work too. Does not have to be ex-Military though
diesel is mandatory. Must be in good mechanical shape, aesthetics less
important since this is going to be a work vehicle, not a show piece.
The less cab there is the better, though hard top vs. soft top is
preferable. The bed needs to be in solid condition and capable of
hauling gravel/dirt, so no troop carrier or box styles will do it for
me. A tipping bed is a plus, but not required. Needs to be set up for
PTO and hydrolics, though doesn't necessarily need to come with
attachments. I am quite interested in a crane (helps moving Weasel
tracks around <g>), such as I've seen on some 416 models.

I'm not shy about importing from Canada or Europe if it is exactly the
right vehicle and at the right price, though I really need it by this
summer. I figure 1970s manufacture because of titling/importing issues
and COST. I'd sure love one of the 1980s models, but man-oh-man are
those pricey.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Steve
