70 mph? ROFLMAO!

Can you imagine how slow that thing must be? Still, I'd love to have it.

When I lived in Montana in the early 80's, the county where I lived bought a bunch of them to use as city busses. They were pretty cool, but rode like rocks.

It's too old to have a 617 installed as OEM. But, there were some other MBZ truck engines put in those units. An OM614 is a possibility.

Hmm, I need a work van that I was hoping to do a SVO/WVO conversion with. I wonder if that would take drywall and a 10ft Ladder? It's close by (only 20 Mi) I may go check it out.

Is it worth $4500?
