Vehicle description
This very truck was raced in the 2002 Croatia Rally, and before that twice in the Transylvania Rally, and did quite respectably. The team was in 3rd place overall on the last day and was within a few hours of finishing when they suffered a mechanical issue and driver injury that took them out of the race. As such, it gained the name The Trophy Truck, and has a bit of legendary status within the Pinz community. You can read more about the race here: http:/ www.real4x4.com/TeamPinzgauer.shtml
A couple of the bigger upgrades on this truck from the time of racing are the power steering (ZF system), and disc brakes (from a 718). These upgrades by themselves are a little pricey (typically around $5k).
Since obtaining the truck, I’ve done extensive work on it for reliability in addition to upgrades in other ways. Below is a list of all I can recall having done to the truck. I suspect there are a few more things, but this list is pretty comprehensive.
Unfortunately I"ve had my own series of injuries and surgeries, so it’s time for the Trophy Truck to have a new home, hopefully someone who can finish off the restoration the way the truck deserves.
There is about $35k worth of upgrades, extras, and parts already in the truck - and that"s before the value of the truck itself. This truck is a unicorn, with factory 2.7L engine (most were 2.5), and high speed transfer case. The reserve price is below the cost of upgrades. Good luck!
Truck is sold as-is, where-is, no warranty. Shipping not included, but I"m willing to work with a shipping company to arrange the pickup. Seller reserves right to stop sale early without notice. Sale to be completed in US funds only from a US bank, with full cash or cashier"s check payment due at sale. As this is a collector era truck, no returns will be accepted, sale is final. Buyer will get a clear Colorado title with the truck upon completion of transaction.
