For Sale: Mowag Roland APC ***Price Drop***

• MAKE: Mowag
• MODEL: Roland APC 4x4
• YEAR: 1975
• PRICE: $31,000 USD (was $34,000)
• CITY & STATE: Detroit, MI


DESCRIPTION:
I have decided that I'll have to part with one more of my 1975 Mowag Roland APC’s. I will sell it to fund my pending imports and restorations, or trade it for some other interesting armor (in the name of ‘diversity’).

The vehicle for sale is the dark blue in the two larger indoor pictures. It is located in Detroit, Michigan. The vehicle is un-restored, but is operable and fully road-worthy. The common mechanical issues are typically leaky brake and clutch master cylinders. This one being offered appears fine after a full bleed of the systems.

This is genuine armor (mid 70's vintage), unmodified, that uses a 100% Chrysler drive train. I regularly buy parts for these at Autozone and NAPA.

Engine: Chrysler LH318 CI Industrial (high chrome nickel block) with 2 bbl, governed, pointless distributor
Transmission: NP-435 4-Speed Manual
Transfer Case: NP-205, Hi/Low, Divorced with rear input adapter
Axles: Dana 70 Front & Rear
Brakes: Drum with dual divorced power boosters
Wheels: 8x6.5, 9x16 tire is typical, though will fit larger. HMMWV wheel/tire setup works well
Electrical: 12 volts negative ground

I have owned many armored vehicles over the years, and this is by far the most practical and easy to service!

I am offering one Mowag Roland APC at $31,000 USD(was $34,000).

I’m unable to deliver personally, but I can help you load here in Detroit. I’ve already titled a couple of these as necessary, but I haven’t titled them all to keep the options open. If you would like yours to be titled (Michigan) I can it done within 4 weeks. I know it is far easier in some states to transfer title from another state than to acquire a new title.

Please check my Roland page for more information. It’s old but still accurate.

The MVPA Convention in Cleveland was great!

The Mowag Roland on display was one for sale. It's still available. We put it through its paces and it runs well!

I've added a couple pics from the convention to the original post above.

Be Well,

Christos is a great guy to work with, I love my Roland I got from Christos, small but not too small like a ferret, and fits in a regular residential garage and takes up about the same space as an SUV, easy to work on and drive in town!

Austin in Texas!
