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.
