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!

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.
The Mercedes G-Wagen is a unique car with a unique backstory. The G Wagen was a departure for Mercedes-Benz. It was created for use in extreme conditions, and it featured a ladder chassis to best cope with offroading while prototypes were sent across the globe to ensure that such a car could operate in some of the harshest conditions. Today, the G Wagen is still as capable as it was in its inception. However, the model has also become known for its luxuries, having found a niche in the upmarket SUV segment. Our featured car aims to combine the best of both worlds. This 1995 Mercedes Benz G300 D features the old-school abilities that the G Wagen is known for, while it also sports several modern upgrades and styling enhancements.

Introduced for the 2003 model year, the R230-generation SL brought a new era of technology to the legendary SL nameplate, replacing the traditional soft top with an innovative retractable power hardtop that could transform the car from a sleek coupe into an open-air roadster at the touch of a button.
