Very rare 1990 Mercedes G-Wagen Short Wheel Base Truck
This is an off-road purpose built vehicle which is capable of going on any trail in North America.
It has been used extensively, but always with all maintenance and repairs done as needed on several backcountry expeditions and trail runs.
It is in need of a paint job and some light body work where we have brushed up against elements on the trail and so forth.
Please see photos.
The body and under-body are not rusted, the car has always been garaged and always had all components pressure washed topside and underneath after all trips. No dirt or mud ever allowed to collect in areas G's are known to rust. The floor pans are very nice and not rusted, same with rocker panels, rear corners, etc.
The vehicle can be sold with hardtop as shown in photos, which is removable and has rear hatch as well as sunroof (glass).
Or it can be sold with bikini top. We will give a $1700 credit in negotiated price if you don't want the hard top.
The vehicle has front and rear differential lockers on the axles and they work as they should. It also has a 3rd transfer case differential locker.
Nice new $1300 Mercedes Aluminum G radiator keeps it all very cool
The automatic is a completely shift-able transmission meaning you can run in auto or shift yourself (you have to take your foot off the gas when you do it)
Modifications:
Engine: E300 M113 Inline 3.0 liter 6 cylinder with no emissions equipment, higher flow top end, no cats, and very unrestricted exhaust.
Transmission: Mercedes G class 4 speed automatic with off-road torque converter
Transfer Case: Mercedes/Steyr-Puch VG150 with double reduction shift on the fly low range and 50/50 split locking differential.
Axles: 4.3:1 Ring and Pinion Gears from Mercedes. Entirely rebuilt in 2011 with all new bearings and seals.
Suspension: Special Order 2.5" lift Mercedes factory springs including progressive coil diameter rear springs
Bilstein front and rear shocks
Protection: 4x4labs/Gwagen Preserve front and rear bumpers. Front bumper includes Warn M8000 winch, D-ring shackles, and 2" tow receiver, vents for cooling.... rear bumper includes 7,500 2" tow receiver, shackles, and Halogen reverse lights. These bumpers were over $4,000 last year plus $850 for the winch.
Wheels: BBS 15x8 with BFG MT KM2 35x12.5x15 tires, there is also a 5th full size spare wheel and new tire, not shown in photos.
Brakes: Mercedes 463 brakes, new rotors and pads last month
Steering: New stabilizer from mercedes recently installed.
Seats: Front seats are not original, they are from a 1980 Mercedes 300GD G-wagen with gray mb-tex. The rear seat is original, and it folds up forward and also is entirely removable to make the vehicle into a complete pickup truck when hardtop is off.
Maintenance: Driveshafts balanced, greased, T-case, axles, hubs, steering balls, greased and lube changed recently. Redline Synthetic always used and Delo 15W30 Oil. Mercedes ATF in the autobox.
This is a chance to acquire a low priced not rusty 463 convertible and paint it the color of your choice. We have a replacement windshield and seal that comes with the car for when you paint it, or we can install it for free if you want. We also have the new rear rubber moulding for the left side quarterpanel, in a box from mercedes.
Hardtop is missing some of its rubber seal material, can be bought at west marine or home depot I presume.
Has power windows in the front, both work, driver's goes up slow.
Has A/C but condensor got a branch through it on a trip, so it was removed and never replaced, all the other items are there.
Blower works fine, 4 speeds, defrost, etc.
Driver side rear view mirror is loose, looks to have broke once and been trail repaired.
All lights working, G500 rear lights, H4 fronts, Halogen reverse lights in bumper.
Rear fold down tailgate and removable rear carpet set, with removable bench converts the truck into a pickup.
Optima gel battery, marine version, with two sets of poles, one for winch, one for car/alternator/starter
Has complete DOT/EPA release paperwork. This car was a Europa import (previous official importer of the G vehicles from Mercedes).
It is not California Carb certified. It comes with a clear title from Florida currently in our family's name.
This G led the entire G-wagen club of North America rally last year, and travelled over 1,000 miles in one weekend on and off road to do so with no hiccups or problems. This G-wagen successfully has gone on the Rubicon trail and is the only 463 Gwagen to ever do so. If you want a show truck this is not it. If you want an almost completed trail-ranch or hunting Gwagen this is a great candidate.
Over $31,000 invested in this truck in past 24 months and owner needs to sell suddenly due to unforeseen circumstances.
Asking $26k or best offer... with or without the hardtop, and with or without the winch/winch bumper.
send in your offers or come visit the vehicle in person.
thanks.

Watch this perfectly nice Mercedes get crushed by a front-end loader
Mon, 25 Mar 2013In a world where the YouTube hoax continues to thrive, it's hard to know what to think of this little vid, but here are the facts as we know them: a coupe that looks like a first-generation Mercedes-Benz CLK gets crushed by a giant front-end loader. There you have it.
Our questions arise in the aftermath - we know industrial resource machinery is heavy, but the Benz gets squashed so flat we wonder if someone's trying to play a joke on us. We hear that the white coupe may have been the heavy-equipment operator's foreman's car, but who knows? The on-camera interview seems awfully conveniently placed, yes? See for yourself in the video below and then leave us your thoughts in Comments.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class interior caught in spy shots
Tue, 29 Jan 2013With the redesigned 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class getting closer to production, the camera-wielding crew over at Autospies somehow managed to get inside of the car to snap some detailed spy shots. As the prototypes continue to shed camouflage, it would appear that Mercedes-Benz is getting closer to unveiling the car, and with the Geneva and New York auto shows coming up, it could be sooner rather than later.
From what we can see of this car's interior, the overall look of the S-Class' cabin isn't a ground-breaking departure from the current car, but it has been completely redesigned with more advanced technology. The styling is now even more upscale with larger swaths of wood, more shapely door panels (without the built-in armrest cubbies) and the concept-like two-spoke steering wheel. The highlight of this car though is probably the two massive digital screens with one being used for driver information and the other used for navigation, audio and infotainment systems. One other detail we noticed about this car is that it was equipped with the new 360-degree camera that debuted on the new GL-Class and will also be used on the 2014 E-Class. We also know that the next-gen S-Class will be getting the new cloud-based MBrace2 infotainment system.
As for the exterior design, it looks like the next S-Class will carry a similar profile as the current car, but we can see through the camouflage that the new styling will fit in better with current Mercedes-Benz products. Up front, the grille is much larger is flanked by aggressive LED-trimmed headlights, while the rear view of the car shows us the LED brake light now at the top of the rear window, a more pointed trunk opening and a more squared-off rear fascia with exhaust outlets pushed to the corners.
New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
