This 1979 Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer 710M is a troop carrier which is said to have been used by the Swiss military before being imported to the US by a previous owner. The truck was acquired by the seller eight years ago and spent the last five years in storage. Power is from an air-cooled 2.5-liter inline-four paired with a dual-range five-speed manual transaxle, a two-speed transfer case, and three locking differentials. The body has been repainted under current ownership and features a canvas roof over the cab and passenger compartment. This Pinzgauer is offered with spare parts, tools, and accessories as well as partial records and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.

The 710M was the troop carrier version of the Pinzgauer and featured room for up to 10 occupants including the driver. This example was refinished in drab green approximately four years ago, and is equipped with a green canvas roof which features plastic windows and extends from the cab over hoops affixed to the bed.

A battery compartment and storage locker are located outboard of the passenger compartment, as are worn wooden rub rails. Body-colored 16″ steel wheels are shod with Cooper Discoverer tires, and a spare with older Maloya rubber is mounted to the tailgate. Additional equipment includes dual rearview mirrors and a European-style tow bar.

The cab features front seats upholstered in olive vinyl and separated by the engine doghouse. A three-spoke steering wheel frames metric instruments including a 100-km/h speedometer and a five-digit odometer reading approximately 11k kilometers (~7k miles), 3k of which are said to have been added under current ownership. Actual mileage is unknown. Controls for the three locking differentials are located in the center stack, and dash labeling is in German, French, and Italian.

A steel partition with wire guards separates the cab from the inward-facing rear seats, which are equipped with orange lap belts. A 24- to 12-volt DC/DC converter has been fitted, and the truck comes with tools, a hydraulic jack, snow chains, a jerry can, and spare parts.

The air-cooled 2.5-liter inline-four is located under a housing between the front seats. The ignition system has been upgraded and the starter replaced according to the seller.

A dual-range five-speed manual transmission delivers power to all four wheels through a two-speed transfer case, three locking differentials, and portal axles. The seller notes an area of corrosion where the undercoating has separated from the passenger-side floor.
