1985 Mercedes 280 GE G-Wagen LWB W460
VIN WDB4602331703893 Vehicle has original silver paint from factory with black and plaid period cloth interior and was imported by Europa in 1986. The car is in my opinion the best W460 model year you can buy with higher HP rated 280 gas engine and very minimal electronics. It literally is the ultimate end of the world truck. The previous owner told me the lower panels of the car were rhino lined in the mid-90s to prevent against corrosion and rust from the occasional drive on Midwest salted roads. This is not permanent and can be taken off with patience. I had the car sorted through last November at cost upwards of 4K. New rear springs were installed, the engine was tuned, the four wheel drive system/lockers were gone through, the gas tank was replaced with a restored, rust free tank (VERY EXPENSIVE), sending unit and fuel pump were replaced, fuel filter, air filter, and new highway tires were installed. The car has been driven less than 500 miles in the last year since all of this was done! The car comes with rare factory side steps and A/C was on the build list although I am not sure if the compressor is still fitted in the car. Four wheel drive system/lockers are totally operational, drove the car in a snow storm last year to test it out and it was absolutely amazing. Clutch and gear shifting is perfect. Car is tuned and go 70-80 MPH on the highway in fifth gear no problem. I planned to totally redo the exterior and paint it white but have lost interest and am way too involved in another car restoration now that has taken over all my garage space. Issues with the car: The car is almost thirty years old and is not perfect by any stretch or means. If I fixed all the issues listed below I would be listing for 25K. The hood paint is fairly faded and could use a respray. The car has some tiny dings here and there, I tried to take good pictures to show it best I could The car has surface rust in the two usual problem areas. In both the back quarter panel by the gas cap and the lower windshield frame. There is also some rust on the passenger door bottom corner that needs sanding eventually. The drivers seat is well worn and needs to be reupholstered. Beyond that the car is in excellent condition for being almost thirty years old. It really is the ultimate off-road truck and I am very hesitantly putting up for sale. I am selling it at a steep discount to what I have spent on it in the past year. Don't hesitate to email me with any questions. Thank you. |

Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)
Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
Erebus Motorsport Mercedes E-Class V8 Supercar completes the field [w/videos]
Sat, 23 Feb 2013Ford, Holden and Nissan introduced their V8 Supercar challengers a while back. Erebus Motorport, whose racing program got the green light not even 120 days ago, has finally shown off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class racer that will complete this year's field of entries. The first AMG race car ever to be built outside of Germany, it's an Australian-built tube-frame chassis specced to the series' Car of Tomorrow rules, fitted with body panels that channel the E63 AMG.
Supported by AMG Customer Motorsport, the 5.0-liter engine is provided by HWA in Germany, the racing arm of AMG. Regulations dictate that it have roughly 650 horsepower, a redline between 7,000 and 7,500 rpm and a torque curve that matches the parity baseline set for all cars.
Lee Holdsworth, Tim Slade and Maro Engel will drive the three team cars, each with different sponsors. Their first showing will be at the Clipsal 500 on March 3 in Adelaide, here in the US we'll get to see them in May at the Circuit of the Americas. Check out the videos below of the Erebus car starting up at its launch, and footage of all of this year's cars doing pre-season testing on track together.
