Arnold Schwarzenegger is a famous Hollywood star. Born in 1947, he was crowned Mr. Global Bodybuilder and Mr. Olympia as a young man.
Many people may know him through the movie "The Terminator", and Schwarzenegger still has a high reputation in China, and it is said that his salary reached $3 million in the 80s. In "The Expendables" in previous years, Schwarzenegger's salary was as high as $30 million.
In his later years, Schwarzenegger loved to enjoy life, not only as a popular movie star, but also as governor of California for seven years!In the eyes of fans, Schwarzenegger has always been a tough man, and his cold image is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Schwarzenegger is a tough guy in the movie, a complete car fan in reality, he was a car enthusiast back in the 70s, and now although he is 71 years old, he still likes to drive.
He has always been a keen collector of cars, from small bicycles to large toys such as tank cars, all of which are in his pocket, and the most models in his garage are none other than the domineering tough guy off-road.
It is known that since the 90s, he has purchased a total of 7 Hummer H1s. In addition to this, there is also a behemoth, and that is the king of off-road - Mercedes Unimog.
In 2012, in order to celebrate the filming of "The Expendables", Schwarzenegger bought it for $250,000, and went to Europe to pick up the car for this purpose. Unimog's off-road performance is really strong, but the top speed is only 60kmh, which does not meet the road regulations of the United States.
In 2016, Schwarzenegger could only choose**Unimog, when the mileage was 1,600 miles (about 2,575 kilometers), and Schwarzenegger paid $350,000 (about 2.2 million yuan)**It stands to reason that the second-hand Unimog should be reduced, but it can't stop this from being the car that Schwarzenegger once drove, and he also left a signature in the central control, and the value is naturally **.
Now the big guy is back on the market in the form of a 1977 Unimog U1300 SE pickup truck, which was completely restored and upgraded in 2012 by German classic car restoration specialist Merex.
The interior of the pickup truck has also been upgraded, with new premium leather seats and a rear reversing camera to make it more convenient for the vehicle to drive on the road. In addition, to meet the entertainment needs, the car is also equipped with a blaupunkt stereo. It's worth noting that Schwarzenegger's signature is located on the dashboard**, so you can always show off to your friends that this car once belonged to the big players of Hollywood superstars.
As a car with off-road performance in mind, Unimog's body is made of high-strength steel and aluminium alloy, which makes it capable of withstanding extreme loads and harsh environments. Whether in the snow-covered mountains or on the desert dunes, Unimog is able to drive steadily. Unimog's chassis structureUnimog's chassis design adopts a girder-type structure, which has excellent torsional rigidity and load-bearing capacity.
In terms of performance, Unimog has a roll angle of up to 38 degrees and a maximum climbing of 45 degrees, and it can achieve 45 degrees of climbing when fully loaded, forward or backwardAt the same time, Unimog has three differential locks (rear axle drive, four-wheel drive front drive activated, four-axle drive front and rear differential locks combined).
Gantry bridge technology is a strong guarantee for Unimog to have strong passability. The portal bridge allows the Unimog axle centerline to be higher than the wheel centerline, increasing the minimum ground clearance of the body. The wheel reducer makes Unimog have excellent ability to get out of trouble, as long as there is a wheel in contact with the ground, it is more difficult to trap Unimog.
The roof intake layout and the drive shaft bushing technology allow Unimog to wade further to a standard depth of 12 meters, reinforced wading version is 14 meters, the super wading version is 16 meters. In addition to the above strong off-road performance, Unimog has an equally strong extension that can be further upgraded by adding a hydraulic system or an external power supply to the front bumper. This improves practicality and mobility.
Power comes from this car equipped with 6The 4-litre turbodiesel inline-six engine produces 320 hp and is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. In addition, this pickup truck is equipped with 225-inch wheels, equipped with a diameter of 115 meters of Michelin XZL 445 off-road tires. With such performance, it can basically cope with any rain and snow complex road surface.
It is understood that Schwarzenegger did not keep this Unimog, which he personally customized, for too long. It was previously reported that in 2012, he was seen driving this car in Santa Monica, California. In 2014, it appeared in the car dealership and was in a state of pending sale. In 2016, it went on sale again.
Now, the car will be auctioned in Arizona from January 20 to 28 in the United States, and the sale will be accompanied by a large number of originals**, historical documents and multiple signed documents from Schwarzenegger to prove its star status.
No estimated transaction price has been announced, but for reference in 2016, the car sold for 35$10,000.
