Today, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class or G-Wagon is a highly luxurious, retro-styled SUV with a healthy dose of off-road capability under its belt. But how the G-Class came to be is rather different in comparison. Initially, the vehicle was developed for military use, on a suggestion by the Shah of Iran, way back in the 1970s. By 1979, Mercedes-Benz had created a civilian version and named it the G-Class. Now that we’ve given you a brief overview, let us introduce our subject vehicle. This Ex-Austrian Military 1994 Puch Mercedes-Benz 230GE comes from the pre-luxury era, a W461 variant that’s undergone a full restoration to bring it up to the condition that you see in our photos. With just 350 miles covered since restoration, the vehicle currently resides in Chula Vista, California, waiting for a new owner. Let us tell you that this G-Class isn’t the bling-adorned, leather-drenched variety that you might see on Sunset Boulevard. No, it’s more of a tough-as-nails off-road-conqueror. So if you are the kind of person who likes to drive as far away from the civilization of the city as possible, this vehicle can take you there – and it’s got some decent comfort features, too.
Repainted in Tabacco brown, this 1994 Mercedes-Benz 230GE rolls on black alloy wheels with new 18" tires, and includes a black canvas soft top too with roll up windows – yes, it’s a convertible off-roader for that ultimate open-air experience, to truly become one with nature. The vehicle also has a 2" lift kit and sports a front winch for assistance in case you get a bit too exuberant on the trails. The new interior of this 1994 Mercedes-Benz 230GE features a wooden floor and beige German cattle leather-upholstered seating. You’re not giving up any comfort features either, there’s air conditioning, and a modern Pioneer touchscreen head unit with Bluetooth capabilities too and a backup camera. It has LED lights throughout. There’s also enough luggage space within the vehicle’s interior, so you don’t need to pack particularly light.
This 1994 Mercedes-Benz 230GE isn’t a speed demon but it’ll get you there, thanks to its M102 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine, 4-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive system. We’re told that the vehicle has received new brakes and new suspension too. So, it’s as trail ready as you’d expect it to be.

Production of the G-Class commenced in 1972 under the collective effort of Daimler Benz and Steyr-Daimler-Puch to be developed as a military vehicle. Soon after, civilian models were introduced. Daimler Benz was in charge of styling and created a prototype that would be driven on a variety of harsh terrains such as the Sahara Desert and the Arctic Circle for testing. Production took place in Graz, Austria, where the G-Class would be built almost entirely by hand. The W460 just like the one in discussion came to light in 1979. It became one of the most iconic G-Wagons ever when Mercedes decided to build a custom ‘Popemobile’ for Pope John Paul II during his visit to Germany. The One you see here, however, is a playful soft-top variant that is up for sale in California with just over 47,000 miles on the road.
The ʼ80s was a time of extravagance, pushing the limits of automotive engineering and a big shift in customers preferences - analog was a thing of the past, the new and improved era was all about digital. There was however one machine that stood the test of time and handled the ʼ80s and its massive shift with class and elegance. The Mercedes-Benz SL R107 was nothing short of iconic, it was iconic to the point where it not just changed how open top motoring was in the ʼ70s but brought analog and old school charm into the ʼ80s as well. Present here is an automotive icon whose production ran almost two decades and takes shape with this lovely 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. This clean example is reported to have a mere 24,688 miles on its clock and is ready to transform what your expectations of memorable drive is and also serve as a savvy investment in the years to come
In late 1995, Mercedes-Benz released a compact roadster that would become quite a highly desirable icon. The SLK, which stood for Sport Light Compact in German, featured a powered folding metal hardtop, giving owners a hardtop coupe and a full convertible in one car. Unlike models with detachable hardtops, there was no need to arrange storage for the top when detached, as it simply folded into the car when retracted. That, plus the SLK’s easy to drive dimensions meant that over 300,000 found homes in a nine-year production run. Today, we’ve got a 1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Kompressor from Newtown, Pennsylvania for sale. With less than 64,000 miles on the clock, this is a great car to buy as a weekend cruiser, as well as future classic. However, it’s still capable of being your daily driver if you prefer.
The Mercedes-Benz R107-generation SL is undoubtedly one of the most beloved and popular models that the Three-Pointed Star has ever made. Produced for 18 years, this era of SL is the second-longest generation Mercedes has ever made, second only to the equally iconic G-Wagen. And it’s not hard to see why: timeless looks coupled with incredible performance and luxury cemented it as one of the best roadsters money could buy. Our featured car is a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, featuring a large-displacement V8 under the hood. This car is located in Frisco, Texas, and has a reported over 141,000 miles on the clock.
After making the transition to building civilian versions of their famed military off-roaders, Jeep quickly became a byword for stylish, practical, and dependable transport that could do anything and go virtually anywhere. One look at our 1978 Jeep CJ-7 and you’ll see its war-winning roots. At the same time, it continues to bear a resemblance to a brand that continues to mobilise many off-roading enthusiasts. Now with an upgraded 304ci AMC V8 engine under the hood and additional functional and stylistic modifications, this Jeep CJ-7 is looking for a new home. It could be the deal of the year, with the owner reporting to have fully restored this Jeep with over $13,000 worth of upgrades.

Whether you’re into immaculate period-correct restorations, honest workhorses, or madly modified restomods, there’s likely an F-1 out there for you. Our featured 1951 Ford F-1 is very much a restomod, with a stunning exterior and some surprises under the hood as well.
