++Rare California CARB Certified 230G Mercedes Gelandewagen Cabriolet++ IMPORTED BY AMG USA
This G actually has an interesting history. This is one of the first G-wagens ever made. It is number 127. The G is in fact so early that it is part of the original batch made for the Shah of Iran, but never delivered.
The Shah was the reason for the G, he owned most of Mercedes at the time, the largest shareholder. He demanded a car be built to rival the Land Rovers. He placed the first order to pay upfront for development costs.
The Shah
ordered over 700 to be built and start a hand-assembled production line. This was #127 in that fleet.
He was deposed in 1979 and never got all his Gwagens. They were then locked up in a warehouse in Austria and sold years later through authorized and friendly to Mercedes "channels'.... this one being brought over to the states with a few others by AMG.
It has some oddities that no production G has. Differences in trim like mb-tex wrapped console and 1 piece gauge cluster, metal window sashes, heavy duty frame and chassis, modified rear cross tubes, air intake baffle, etc.
92,200 miles with all records since imported in mid 1980s
Was imported into California and Certified correctly with DOT, EPA, CARB by AMG.
Car includes all original AMG paperwork that documents the miles and conversion to US specs.
Nice driving car, little to no vibrations as found on many old Gwagens, good smooth drivetrain, nice clutch, etc.
4wd works as it should.
Low Range Transfer case with shift on the fly 2:1 reduction works well
Axle Differential Lockers in both front and rear diffs (need servicing)
++Lockers have not been used in a long time, likely need new brake fluid flushed thru locker system. Brakes need servicing.
Nice condition tires, all terrain type, on original steel wheels. Spare tire on swing out carrier.
Rear Seat Bench folds down and forward, and is also completely removable with just two bolts.
Soft Top with Safari Frame and mounting rails and cords.
Center console in great shape with no cracking
Dash pads are nice, see one photo showing small portion towards the driver side that has some adhesive missing.
Alpine CD Stereo with removable face.
Rear Mudflaps
Front Mud Aprons
Mb Tex original seats in excellent condition in the front, rear bench has tear in bottom.
All seats come with additional black seat covers.
This G was originally furnished new with a Stromburg Carb 175 which has been upgraded to a Weber.
Please note that the rear right bumper corner is broken, and is taped together. Note that in most photos the car is missing one front bumper corner, we have replaced this since the photos were taken last week.
Please note that the soft top works well, but that the rear roll up window has a small tear in the bottom and its zippers only work so-so. The rest of the top works very well, and that roll-up rear window is likely all needing repair. Car has not been used in foul weather in many years. Top was just put back on the car for the first time in over 8 years.
Thank you for your interest.
It is an interesting rare Gelandewagen.
It comes with the original GFG build tag and is stamped 127 which matches the frame stamping.

Mercedes working on new inline-six engines
Mon, 11 Nov 2013Mercedes-Benz will make a return to the inline-six-cylinder engine game, according to a report from the UK's AutoCar. It's not clear what's prompting the phasing out of the current array of V6s.
We'll see the first inline-six from Mercedes in next-generation E-Class, set to debut in 2016. Following that, it'll arrive as part of a mid-cycle refresh for the C-Class in 2017. What's particularly special about the new inline-six is its modular nature, which will allow Mercedes to eventually spinoff three- and four-cylinder options, with the three-pot arriving alongside the new inline-six.
In other news, AutoCar uncovered some details on the next C-Class AMG, which will ditch its excellent 6.2-liter, AMG V8 in favor of a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, although we've already told you about that. What we didn't know at the time, though, was that the 4.0-liter would be paired first with a new, seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and offer all-wheel drive. AC also reports that a nine-speed Speedshift is in the works.
2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
