Overview of 1986 Mercedes-Benz 230 GE Convertible For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The Piano Black W460 GE variant you see here is a brilliant example of a rare piece of auto craftsmanship that has been appreciated and well preserved over the years. The paint job is pleasing to the eye, especially considering how old the vehicle is. This GE has a black bull bar up front, subtle striping running along the side of its body, added silver grille in the rear, and a custom two-piece soft-top made for it — the hardtop is also included in the sale if that’s more to your preference. The unit sits on BF Goodrich off-road tires. The interior of this vehicle is one of its greatest selling points, as GE’s interior features, such as its dashboard and door panels prove to be a visual testament to the amount of care given to preserving this machine. Leather bucket seats accommodate the front passengers, while vintage bench-style seating is available in the rear. The G also includes an aftermarket radio with Bluetooth connectivity, as well as an upgraded speaker system.

Engine

The GE trim runs a 2.3L petrol engine that produces around 125bhp at 5,100rpm and round 192Nm of torque at 4000rpm. The SUV will reach a top speed of 152km/h using a standard manual gearbox. This GE will run either on compressed natural gas or regular fuel.

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.
