Meet Big Helga, a 6-wheel-drive, 1975 C306-Volvo. She was originally used as a military ambulance but would also be a great asset for event promotions. Big Helga comes with a pop-up roof top stage and a booming sound system. Although she may look huge, she is really the size of a Chevy Suburban.

Pretty nice looking (at least the outside) and it looks to have AC added on the roof of the cab.
Not a bad price for a 6x6!

I am really interested but for whatever reason the seller doesn't respond to my communications. Not sure if it's sold or a hoax or what. Anyone know who this is and how to get a hold of them?

I reached out to the seller a number of weeks ago before I bought my Pinzgauer. It took a while for them to respond to me as well.

Here's what they sent:
"Hi,
Thank you for your interest. Attached are a few photos. Personally, I would hesitate driving it from Denver to Seattle. It is a 41 year old vehicle that doesn't go above 60mph. Even at 55mph, it gets shaky. We used it to advertise for our client and took it around Wyoming and Colorado, but each trip, we transported it on a trailer. Don't get me wrong, you can drive her around town but if you are looking for a vehicle to drive long distances, this probably isn't the truck your looking for.
Thank you,
Heather"

If you PM me with your email address I can send the pictures they sent me.

She's been sitting for a while, got a carbureted straight six and needs a few things:

Systems check and needed fixes

Body work -rust spots need to be addressed

Salvage motorhome/trailer box outfitted (+electrical)

Looking for advice on who can do a great job at a fair price in Norcal.

Let 'er rip!
