A few comments about this on the post for engine speed upgrade. For the most part took away the ability to
haul stuff. But ...it will get you there fast.

OK, I saw that on ebay, and recognized the truck. I think there was a thread on here about the build, but darned if I can find it. It appears to be a 712 with the 3rd axle removed. Is this correct? What's the transmission, a TD? Out of curiosity, can anyone here shed any light? Thanks for any info.

Paul, Paul, Paul.... Simple exchange of the 710 spacer to the shorter 712 spacer and you got that wheelbase. Reweld the spring and shock mount forward... lop off the a$$ and you got it.
That's how SDP made the 716 Shorties
And you thought standard 710's were squirrelly coming down a steep hill... think of even a 4" shorter wheelbase

Owners name is Jason Krois, Has Alans Aka Pinztrek EFI program in it. 2.7 L with td trans.Got to see it and drive it the last time I was in florida, for one of the SS. meets. reall fast Pinz. If i Remember right herbert used it to tow his 6*6 Heffy all the way from Georgia. Think Alan said they did 60-65 MPH the hole way.

Wonder if it survived the storm?

Dave,

I suppose it could be done that way... D'oh! I guess that makes more sense, huh?

I always thought that would make an interesting chassis to put a Jeep body on. (See, some guys have no respect.)

Yeah Paul, logic doesn't go far on this forum.

Years ago, there were pics of a "conventional cab" on a Pinz drivetrain.... much easier to do than make a Pinz go fast, and still do some serious offroading.... at least for a gas Pinz

If you want to show a "lack of respect"... I thought it would be neat to drop a Toronado drivetrain midship into a Pinz, and make sure the life insurance was paid !

We sold a 710M a few years back that was built by Jim Laguardia with the 2.7 and injected (not to mention disc brakes and a bunch of other goodies)

Anyway, this was definitely the fastest Pinz I've had the pleasure of driving. It felt about the same as a Honda Civic (non- Vtec) and it was awfully nice pulling out into traffic as opposed to the typical Pinz.

This truck was super clean and sold for $20K less than the one on ebay. Don't know anything about the one on ebay, but I thought that was a pretty nutty price for a 710.

[pinzwheeling]

I guess $40K is the going price now?

Yeah. but that one has a skull on it...mine doesn't have a skull. I feel so 'stock'.

I thought about selling the krick3tt, ....maybe not.
Seems with a little paint and some extra goodies can really make the bucks roll in.

...and besides there is no mud on it.

Seems with a little paint and some extra goodies can really make me ask way too much money for a Pinzgauer.

fixed

You can always get a job as a political speech writer...you can really spin it, Michael.
Good job.

i am always amazed how people think they can get out what they put in to a vehicle, that is rarely the case. but i guess you cant hate the man for trying, and it is a pretty clean rig!

cruzoropeza
