After decades of service, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class nameplate has taken on a life of its own, transcending its original utilitarian roots and becoming a symbol of luxury and success in its latest generations. But the legend started with the 1985 Mercedes Benz 300GD. Our featured car forgoes the chrome of the modern versions and instead provides a satisfying look back at the origins of the G Class. This particular example makes its way to the US from its homeland of Germany and features just 46,000 kilometers on the odometer. Not only does this 1985 Mercedes Benz 300GD feature some serious off-road kit — plus Mercedes’ legendary OM606 engine — but it has also reportedly been fully stipped, having received a complete restoration before being offered for sale.
The three-door bodyshell of this 1985 Mercedes Benz 300GD has undergone a complete restoration, with the owner reporting that the frame was completely stripped and restored. Part of the restoration process saw the frame getting sandblasted before a new coat of brown paint was applied. There’s a Costume front bumper with an integrated 1200 lbs winch up front for some serious off-road activities, while the similarly impressive rear bumper is reported to have been custom-made. You won’t fail to notice the four-point custom-made roll cage either, which also features an LED lightbar. The owner reports this build is one serious off-road G Wagen, the likes of which you may not have seen before — and we’re inclined to agree. The wheels have been upgraded with Fitet 15x10 steel welded rims that are wrapped in Maxxis 35/12.50/15 extreme terrain tires. To accommodate these massive rims, you’ll find metallic wheel flares and a four-inch lift kit. Move inside, and things get just as serious with an all-new interior. There’s a new center console, while things are kept cool courtesy of a new air-conditioning system.
Under the hood of this 1985 Mercedes Benz 300GD, you’ll find the mighty 3-liter OM606 diesel engine. This legendary powerplant has been improved with an upgraded turbo and a Dieselmeken diesel pump built with 8 mm elements. The owner reports that this G Wagen can make approximately 450 hp, and it channels power to the road via a five-speed manual transmission. You’ll also find upgraded brakes, which, no doubt, are needed for all that added power!

The story of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a fascinating one. In fact, the G-Class is so un-Mercedes-Benz-like, that you might wonder how it came to hobnob with the iconic German luxury automaker’s other offerings. The vehicle was developed by Mercedes-Benz based on a suggestion by the Shah of Iran, as a military transport. Development started around 1972, and by 1979, a civilian variant was created as well. That is what gave rise to the G-Class. Today’s G-Class is vastly different under the skin to the first ones from 1979, but the basic boxy shape remains. This particular 1995 Mercedes-Benz G300 has undergone some modifications and upgrades, making it truly one-of-a-kind. With just 60,000 miles to its name so far, you’d better act fast to secure it.

If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far.

Formerly called the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, the GLE represents the midsize sport utility offering from Mercedes-Benz, and has done so since 1997. Then, it was called the ML-Class and rode on a traditional, body on frame configuration. However, since 2005 and the second generation, a unibody construction was adopted, and the M-Class became more road-oriented. The GLE name came in 2015 when the third generation was facelifted, and basically alludes to the model being the SUV equivalent of an E-Class. Today, what we have is a fourth-generation example from the house of Mercedes-AMG. This 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE53 has traveled just over 27,000 miles and comes with a twin-turbo straight six under the hood. It’s also got 4MATIC all-wheel drive and the usual Mercedes-Benz refinements to enjoy, in its quest to be your next family vehicle. If you’d like to answer its call, let us know.
When someone thinks of a car that can handle family responsibilities, Dodge is hardly the first brand that springs to mind. However, as the automotive market began to embrace SUVs, Dodge decided to make an offer with the Dodge Durango. Now on the third generation, the Dodge Durango unapologetically mixes old-school American muscle power with modern practicality. For the 2025 model year, Dodge introduced four special edition models, and the Hellcat Hammerhead was one of the interesting ones. Many refer to it as the ultimate sleeper because of its beastly performance figures and the understated look. This excellent example of the 2025 Dodge Durango Hellcat Hammerhead comes to you with only 1,381 miles on its odometer, making it almost factory fresh.
The Trailblazer badge has been used on various Chevy SUVs since 1999, and today’s 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS hails from the Trailblazer SUV that was made between 2001 and 2010. It’s one of those old-school American SUVs that still offers a monocoque rather than body-on-frame construction. Hence, Furthermore, this all-stock example from Union Grove, Wisconsin is the potent SS variant, and it’s covered just over 61,000 miles so far. So if you’re looking for a relatively modern American SUV with a potent LS2 V8 under the hood, a well-equipped interior and loads of cargo space, here’s the ideal candidate.
