1985 Mercedes 280 GE G-Wagen LWB W460

VIN WDB4602331703893

Vehicle has original silver paint from factory with black and plaid period cloth interior and was imported by Europa in 1986.

The car is in my opinion the best W460 model year you can buy with higher HP rated 280 gas engine and very minimal electronics. It literally is the ultimate end of the world truck. 

The previous owner told me the lower panels of the car were rhino lined in the mid-90s to prevent against corrosion and rust from the occasional drive on Midwest salted roads. This is not permanent and can be taken off with patience.

I had the car sorted through last November at cost upwards of 4K. New rear springs were installed, the engine was tuned, the four wheel drive system/lockers were gone through, the gas tank was replaced with a restored, rust free tank (VERY EXPENSIVE), sending unit and fuel pump were replaced, fuel filter, air filter, and new highway tires were installed. 

The car has been driven less than 500 miles in the last year since all of this was done!

The car comes with rare factory side steps and A/C was on the build list although I am not sure if the compressor is still fitted in the car.

Four wheel drive system/lockers are totally operational, drove the car in a snow storm last year to test it out and it was absolutely amazing. Clutch and gear shifting is perfect. Car is tuned and go 70-80 MPH on the highway in fifth gear no problem.

I planned to totally redo the exterior and paint it white but have lost interest and am way too involved in another car restoration now that has taken over all my garage space.

Issues with the car:

The car is almost thirty years old and is not perfect by any stretch or means. If I fixed all the issues listed below I would be listing for 25K.

The hood paint is fairly faded and could use a respray. 

The car has some tiny dings here and there, I tried to take good pictures to show it best I could

The car has surface rust in the two usual problem areas. In both the back quarter panel by the gas cap and the lower windshield frame.

There is also some rust on the passenger door bottom corner that needs sanding eventually.

The drivers seat is well worn and needs to be reupholstered.


Beyond that the car is in excellent condition for being almost thirty years old. It really is the ultimate off-road truck and I am very hesitantly putting up for sale. I am selling it at a steep discount to what I have spent on it in the past year. Don't hesitate to email me with any questions.

Thank you.

Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG officially teased in mini video

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The followup to the Mercedes-Benz S550, the S63 AMG, will sport a biturbocharged V8 that will likely turn out around 550 horsepower. The new engine is probably the 5.5-liter, biturbocharged V-8 that's been popping up in everything from the ML63 to the E63 AMG. The front fascia is more aggressive, which shouldn't come as a surprise, while a meaty exhaust setup can be found out back.
We managed to pick all that up from a short, 17-second video posted by MB. The original video that unveiled the S63 AMG has since been pulled down, making this YouTube clip the best look we now have at the new super sedan, at least until the Germans give up the goods for real.
Be sure to check out the video below, along with our original posting on the S63 AMG.

Mercedes working on new inline-six engines

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Mercedes-Benz will make a return to the inline-six-cylinder engine game, according to a report from the UK's AutoCar. It's not clear what's prompting the phasing out of the current array of V6s.
We'll see the first inline-six from Mercedes in next-generation E-Class, set to debut in 2016. Following that, it'll arrive as part of a mid-cycle refresh for the C-Class in 2017. What's particularly special about the new inline-six is its modular nature, which will allow Mercedes to eventually spinoff three- and four-cylinder options, with the three-pot arriving alongside the new inline-six.
In other news, AutoCar uncovered some details on the next C-Class AMG, which will ditch its excellent 6.2-liter, AMG V8 in favor of a 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, although we've already told you about that. What we didn't know at the time, though, was that the 4.0-liter would be paired first with a new, seven-speed AMG Speedshift transmission and offer all-wheel drive. AC also reports that a nine-speed Speedshift is in the works.

How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
