THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Looking at a 712 that has no rear bench seats. Would like to either replace them without needing a second mortgage or finding an alternative. I want to be able to have the flat platform that the stock seats provide and seating is a second thought. I like the quick configuration change from seats wit...

Real nice looking, but the nose looks like a 716 and the ad says gas not diesel. Not sure someone would put a 716 nose on a 710. Personally, I don't like the 716/718 nose.

Thanks for the info.

Very cool for you. I do love a tan 712.

I saw pictures of this 712, http://www.schiess-automobile.ch/712-mk.html and I can't figure out if it was an M converted into a K, or is original from factory, or is entirely fabricated. Anyone know?

How did it work out with GEICO? I hope to have one to insure in a few weeks. I got an online quote from Hagerty via Progressive and using Steyr Puch as the make, and Pinzgauer 712M as the model seemed to work fine.

I think I got it covered now through a PM.

Thanks

Suggestions?

Sorry if this is in another thread, but I couldn't find anything in a search. I am trying to find out what changes were made in the 710/712 from the early '70s to the early '80s. Does anyone have a reference?

Did this go any further? Very interested in the outcome.

Has anyone painted the inside, or is it mostly and outside color change for those that change the color? Seems like it would be a much more difficult job to paint the interior.

Jimm391730 - Very complete analysis and very useful Krick3tt - The reason I asked about the Ambulance is that I have a lead on one that is not more expensive than an M and I am exploring the ability to convert to Amb for a camper and to an M for other times. Just wondering how feasible that would be...

I saw a photo of an Ambulance without its box on. It looked like there was a solid wall between the cab and the bed. Does that come off if you want to convert an Ambulance to an M?

What if someone's wife tends to not like OD? If totally changing the color, perhaps to tan? Has anyone done that?

Has anyone painted their Pinz body? Any info on difficulty and expense is appreciated.
