From Ferrari to Aston Martin, it seems that every upmarket automaker is getting into the SUV game lately. And while they all have their merits, very few of them can claim the legendary status and proven heritage of Mercedes’ G Wagon. The G Wagen, also known as the G Class, has been a stalwart in the Mercedes Benz lineup for decades. This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300GD has undergone a two-year restoration after it was imported to the States from Italy. The process has not only returned this G Class to a better than original condition, but has added a bevy of new and improved components.
Exterior and Interior
Having undergone a ground-up restoration, this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 GD has had a comprehensive makeover, giving it a new lease of life. First off, it’s been repainted in Adriatic Blue. You’ll also notice that this G Wagon sports a facelift that is in line with the 2017 AMG model year. The grille sits behind a new bull bar, and you’ll also find a front roof spoiler and high-powered LED lights. The LED theme continues for the rest of the exterior, with new LED auxiliary lights and tail lights. The exterior also includes an AMG front bumper, AMG rear bumper, new wheel flairs, and a new hood. There’s an aluminum HD roof rack, running boards, and new front and rear mudflaps. The door seals, door check links, bolts, and hardware have all been replaced, and the mirror set has also been replaced. AMG wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich All-Terrain ATR/A KM3 tires, and a spare is secured to the truck's rear. The interior is a similar story, with a renovated dashboard, seats, headliner, carpet, and door cards. A new retro radio and a rebuilt air conditioning system have been installed.
Engine
Under the hood is the tried and tested OM606 diesel engine coupled to a five-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. The owner reports 470 bhp from this unit, and the engine has been upgraded with mechanical injection pumps built with 7.5 mm Dieselmeken elements. The turbo has been upgraded with a genuine Holset HE351 12cm turbo and intercooler. The radiator, airbox, and header tank have also been upgraded, as well as the air filter housing and alloy air intake pipe, which now feature polyurethane hoses. Finally, to ensure reliability, a new alternator, new water pump, new thermostat, new starter motor, and new clutch kit have all been installed. Under the chassis, you’ll find upgraded brakes, shocks, springs, and prop shafts.

Luxury, class, and brand history are all staples of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and have put it in good steed for its impressive three-decade-long production run. With a cult-like following and the choice of many for luxury cruising in style, being behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a truly unique and special experience. Don't take our word for it; it's time you experienced it yourself and got behind the wheel of this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300GE we have today. But while this iconic G Wagen may look to all the world like a regular version, open the hood and you'll find an impressive engine swap. In place of the Mercedes powerplant is a 6.2-liter V8 Chevrolet motor.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, often referred to as the G-Wagon, stands as a striking contrast within the automaker's lineup, known for its blend of ruggedness and luxury. Originally conceived as a military vehicle, the G-Wagon quickly found its way into civilian life, offering a unique combination of durability and elegance. The significant revamp in 1990, marked by the introduction of the W463 chassis, brought further refinement to this iconic model. This particular 1991 Mercedes Benz 300GE, with the W463 chassis, showcases a comprehensive restoration completed in 2019. Now residing in Florida, it boasts a modified engine and is a testament to the enduring appeal of the G-Wagon.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed chapter of the long-running R107 roadster, pairing classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and a luxury-focused driving experience. Showing 111,950 miles, this example is finished in Arctic White over Alpaca Gray leather with a black convertible soft top. Its specification includes automatic climate control, a folding front armrest, heat-insulating green glass, a heated rear window, and a Sony audio head unit. With its upright grille, long hood, compact two-seat cabin, and unmistakable R107 profile, the 560 SL remains one of the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz roadsters of its era.
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG G 63 remains one of the most recognizable performance SUVs on the market, combining the G-Class’ unmistakable military-inspired shape with hand-built AMG V8 power and a luxury-focused cabin. This example shows approximately 9,814 miles and is finished in MANUFAKTUR Night Black Magno over a Classic Red/Black Exclusive Nappa Leather interior. Its specification is especially strong, with 22-inch AMG Matte Black Forged Monoblock wheels, AMG Carbon Fiber Trim, the AMG Night Package Magno, and the Exclusive Interior Package Plus. The result is a G 63 with a dark, aggressive exterior theme contrasted by a far more expressive red-and-black cabin.
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG P31 comes from an era when AMG was still willing to put a huge naturally aspirated V8 into a compact luxury sedan, and that formula is exactly why the W204 C 63 has become such an enthusiast favorite. This example goes a step further with the desirable P31 AMG Development Package, which brings increased output, a 174-mph top-speed limiter, a carbon fiber trunk lid spoiler, and red-painted brake calipers. Finished in Palladium Silver Metallic over Black leather, it also carries a limited-slip differential, Multimedia Package, Lane Tracking Package, and KEYLESS-GO. Showing approximately 115,211 miles, this is the kind of C 63 that appeals to buyers who want the old-school AMG experience: big-displacement V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis with plenty of attitude.
