Overview of 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300 GD For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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!

1952 Willys Overland Model 473 Pickup

For Sale
ASK: $38,999
Miles: 2,948
Estimated: $390.27/mo

The Willys-Overland four-wheel-drive pickup helped establish the foundation for America's postwar utility truck market, combining the rugged engineering of the military Jeep with the practicality of a traditional pickup. Introduced in 1947 and developed under the direction of renowned industrial designer Brooks Stevens, the Willys truck became a distinctive alternative to conventional American pickups, offering genuine four-wheel-drive capability at a time when such equipment was far from commonplace. This 1952 Willys-Overland Model 473 Pickup, showing just 2,948 miles, is finished in a rich Burgundy exterior over a Cream vinyl interior, presenting an attractive combination of vintage styling and practical utility. Its distinctive appearance is highlighted by a chrome-accented vertical grille, cream-painted steel wheels, side-mounted spare tire, and a traditional steel cargo bed with a protective bedliner. Equipped with a four-cylinder engine, three-speed manual transmission, and dual-range four-wheel-drive system, this Willys captures the straightforward mechanical character that made these trucks popular among farmers, tradespeople, and outdoor enthusiasts. With its classic postwar design, distinctive color combination, and low indicated mileage, this Model 473 offers an appealing opportunity to own an important piece of early American four-wheel-drive truck history.
