\"1968<\/span>
\nMy Dad just replaced his old snow thrower at the beginning of the season. Too bad he didn’t wait, he could have had this awesome 40 year old, turbo-diesel, Mercedes Unimog snow thrower for the low Buy it Now price of $14,997. Check out the blades inside that thing. Clears 48″ of snow. That’s a whole lot of snow throwing awesomeness. The eBay listing<\/a> says “I think this is the best one of these you will ever find.” That’s a safe bet, what are the odds of finding another one?
\nToo bad the auction ended earlier today, this is just what I needed to clear my 40′ driveway of the typical Columbus 3″ snowfall. Perfect.
\nCheck out the seller’s web gallery<\/a> for more photos, including one if it (or one like it) in action.
