The man who made a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy look small in Terminator 2: Judgement Day has counted a HumVee, a Unimog and even a tank among his personal vehicles, all of which seem strangely appropriate for a man who made his name beating, shooting and killing his foes on the silver screen. Now, his Unimog—a Unimog U1300 SE 6.4 made to his own specifications—is up for sale on German classifieds Mobile (via World Car Fans).
