Mercedes-Benz supplied the German military with the 250GD G-Wagen between 1990 and 1993. The German army then returned the favor by giving the 'Wolf' nickname to its G-Wagens. With its characteristic boxy-style, body-on-frame construction, and all-conquering attitude, this SUV deserves to hold the Wolf moniker. To mark the GD Wolf's 40th birthday, the Expedition Motor Company laboriously upgraded a collection of those former military SUVs. This stunning example of the 1990 Mercedes-Benz 250 GD Wolf Wagon is carefully modified and restored by the Expedition Motor Company. This already rare 1990 G-Wagen had its entire body removed from the frame before being media blasted to the bare metal. All of the internals were then repaired or replaced. The G-Wagon is located in New Jersey and has only done 2500 miles after the restoration.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 250 GD Wolf has been upgraded and rebuilt from top to bottom. An anti-corrosive primer has been applied to the body, which is painted in white. It rides on newly installed wheels and BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, which are balanced and aligned. A new custom interior was installed in Saddle Brown, increasing its uniqueness. The Wolf wagon is also fitted with new window seals and gaskets.
Engine
Power is managed at the wheels via a standard manual transmission. As part of the rebuild, the engine was removed after testing cylinder compression and oil pressure. It was then cleaned, disassembled, and inspected, then rebuilt with new components. The engine block is also cleaned, prepped, and refinished. The cylinder head is removed for inspection. New components in the engine include front and rear crankshaft seals, cylinder head bolts, cylinder head gasket, timing belt, water pump, and oil pan gasket. It also features a timing belt tensioner pulley to maintain tension overtime. The same treatment has been applied to the transmission as well. It was also removed, cleaned, and disassembled to be rebuilt with all new transmission seals, clutch, throw-out bearing, gaskets, and seals. The transfer case housing and gearbox housing are both refinished. The suspension is fitted with new urethane suspension bushings, steering damper, and the suspension steering is aligned. With this impressive build sheet, this Wolf has undergone extensive road testing after restoration. In addition, the axles were completely removed from the vehicle before the axle housings were media blasted and refinished. This car features replaced wheel studs and regreased hubs. The brakes are modified with all new brake hoses, brake lines, and rebuilt calipers. It also offers reconditioned drums, new pads and shoes, new rotors, new body mounts, new fuel lines, new springs, and new shock absorbers.
The Mercedes-Benz 250GD Wolf comes from a very different branch of G-Wagen history than the luxury-focused models most enthusiasts know today. Built for military use, the Wolf prioritized simplicity, durability, and off-road capability, and this 1992 example preserves that utilitarian character while incorporating a number of thoughtfully executed upgrades. Showing approximately 45,122 miles, it is finished in Mercedes-Benz OEM Desert Sand paint with a matte clear coat over a Black interior with Desert Sand piping. Its specification includes a 2-door military-convertible body, dual-range transfer case, independently locking front and rear differentials, 5-speed manual with crawler first gear, 24-volt electrical system, folding windshield, and military-style exterior mirrors. Custom additions such as the Canadian G-Wagen-inspired front bull bar, Black Rhino wheels, 33x12.50 mud-terrain tires, Rhino-lined body tub, and German-made tops give this Wolf an even stronger expedition-ready presence without losing sight of its original military identity.
Yes, what we’ve got here is a G-Class. Yup, that’s what this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 250GD is. But hang on, you might say. Where’s its massive alloy wheels, low-profile tires and glitzy chrome external embellishments? Where’s the plush, leather-lined, wood-trimmed, S-class-esque interior that we see nowadays in the G-Class? Well, dear reader, before the G-Class went posh, it was the most capable off-roader that Mercedes-Benz ever built. Technically it’s still capable, but back then, it was meant to be a brutish, no-nonsense, go-anywhere machine. While you wouldn’t step into today’s G-Class with muddy boots or soaked clothing, you can do that with this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 250GD from Orlando, Florida. That’s because this 27,000-kilometer machine comes from the pre-luxury era, when the G-Class was meant to be used in a rough and tumble manner. That makes this vehicle an excellent addition to the garage of an adventuring family. Sitting next to all manner of delicate luxury machinery, it will be the perfect companion for when you want to escape to nature and a simpler time.
Before the Mercedes-Benz G-Class went all glitzy and started starring in hip-hop music videos, it was a rugged, no-nonsense off-roader that could venture nearly anywhere with the right set of tires and a skilled driver controlling it. Introduced in 1979, the G-Class or G-Wagen is a civilian variant of a military vehicle that emerged from a suggestion to Mercedes-Benz by the then-Shah of Iran. The first generation, dubbed the W460, ran between 1979 and 1991, and over this period, gained many improvements and creature comforts. If you’re in search of a capable, no-frills off-roader, an early G-Class is a great place to look. That’s why you’ll find this 1984 Mercedes-Benz 250GD to be a sound choice, with its tough value proposition and torquey turbodiesel engine. So contact us and let’s get this G-Class on your driveway ASAP!
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
