See the World in This Converted Unimog Ambulance

Sometimes you wonder what stories you’d hear if cars could talk. I bet this 1961 Mercedes-Benz Unimog on BringATrailer would have some incredible tales to tell. Like many ex-military vehicles, this Unimog spent part of its life as an emergency service vehicle before settling into a quiet, satisfying, suburban life.

Originally put into service as a German troop carrier, it then spent several years in Denmark, where it was converted into an ambulance before crossing the ocean to Maine, and receiving a full tune-up. Then it was sold again to the current owner.

When it was converted into an ambulance, this Unimog was treated to a large rear box and heavy duty springs, setting the stage for its most recent round of modifications. The current owner has converted the ambulance box into comfortable living quarters, making this an ideal camping vehicle for a weekend getaway or a cross-county trip.

It’s the details that really set this already-unusual Unimog apart, such as the solar panels, battery bank, hammock, trailer hitch, and motorcycle ramp. The seller’s description lists lots of recent, careful maintenance, which means that this Unimog is ready for any adventure you can throw at it, assuming you’ve got $19K to part with.
