The Vehicle
Up for sale is a legendary Mercedes Vario 614D. It features the bulletproof 4.2L OM904LA turbo-diesel engine. It starts on the button and runs beautifully. This is a true commercial truck chassis built to last a lifetime. It is the perfect blank canvas for a serious off-grid expedition vehicle or full-time mobile home.
The Project (Needs Work)
This vehicle is a project and is priced accordingly. It needs a dedicated buyer ready to put in some sweat equity.
Bodywork: Typical Vario rust spots. Needs welding on the cab steps, rear wheel arches, and lower rear door panels.
