 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.

Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 to debut in Monterey

Mon, Aug 15 2016

Mercedes surprised the car world last week when it teased an enormous, Maybach-badged coupe concept. Now we have a name and a debut date. Mercedes released the info in a second teaser image posted to its Facebook page. Called the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 – "Vision" equals concept and "6" denotes the length in meters – the new two-door will debut at Pebble Beach on Thursday. So yeah, here's another reason to get excited about Monterey Car Week. As for the teaser image, it's a head-on shot as opposed to the profile view that Mercedes released last week. The new view supports our theory that the super-skinny mirrors are cameras, and the shot also reveals new styling touches. The most noticeable are the very thin, un-Mercedes-like headlights – they flank a prominent, heavily polished waterfall grille that marks a significant departure from recent Mercedes products. A traditional Mercedes hood ornament sits above the grille's small "Maybach" designation. Kicking up the exposure in Photoshop doesn't reveal too much more detail – unlike last week's profile image – aside from a set of chrome strips that run along the sides of the hood. Autoblog's Monterey Car Week crew ships out for the left coast soon – expect more on the festivities, including the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6's debut, later this week.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class ED has 87-mile range, 84 MPGe

Fri, Jul 11 2014

Well, that extra weight had to be felt somewhere. With Mercedes-Benz getting ready to start US sales of its B-Class Electric drive this summer, the big question was how well its range would stack up against other electric vehicles sold in the States. Turns out, the Benz is a bit of a juice hog. Let's say up front that the 87-mile single-charge range of the Mercedes-Benz actually stacks up nicely against its competition, since that distance puts the new model right in line with the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3 (we'll ignore the Tesla Model S for a second, here). You can find the numbers at the US Department of Energy's FuelEconomy website. As far as miles per gallon equivalent ratings, though, the Benz's steel frame makes it come up short, as it's about 1,300 pounds heavier than the carbon-fiber-body i3 and about 600 pounds heavier than the Leaf. The B-Class EV has a bigger battery than the i3 or the Leaf (36 kWh compared to 22 kWh for the i3 and 24 kWh for the Leaf) and that's one reason the car gets an 84 MPGe rating, which is about 26 percent less than the Leaf's and 32 percent less than the i3's. But at least the local utility companies will be happy. Mercedes-Benz priced the 177-horsepower B-Class ED in April at $41,450, or $100 more than the i3.
