1983 Mercedes-Benz 230GE Gelandewagen Short Wheel Base (SWB)
Few vehicles are as distinctive and unique as the W460 chassis Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Although there are other vehicles that are instantly recognizable - the Gullwing Mercedes, the '57 Chevy, and the DeLorean to name a few - there is no other vehicle so classy, yet so capable as Gelandewagen Mercedes-Benz. TheMercedes-Benz G-Class, sometimes calledG-Wagen(short forGeländewagen, "cross country vehicle"), is a mid-sizefour-wheel driveluxurySUVmanufactured byMagna Steyr (formerlySteyr-Daimler-Puch) in Austria and sold byMercedes-Benz. In certain markets, it has been sold under thePuchname asPuch G. The G-wagen is characterized by its boxy styling andbody-on-frameconstruction. It uses three fullylocking differentials, one of the few vehicles to have such a feature. Despite the introduction of an intended replacement, theunibodySUV Mercedes-Benz GL-Classin 2006, the G-Class is still in production and is one of the longest produced Mercedes-Benz in Daimler's history, with a span of 35 years. Only theUnimogsurpasses it. The G-class was developed as a military vehicle from a suggestion by theShah of Iran(at the time a significant Mercedes shareholder) to Mercedesand offered as a civilian version in 1979. It was not available from Mercedes-Benz in the United States until 2002, although this was preceded by a grey-market where even basic models commanded six-figure prices in the 1990s.

With this drivetrain combination you can zip down the highway with ease toward your desired destination – classy night out, or a dirty and fun-filled day off road!!!! 2.3 gasoline engine is much more powerful and civil than its diesel siblings of that era. This Beautiful Benz was parked about 5-6 years ago, as its owner started going through some health issues. Unfortunately life happened, and this Benz just continued to sit for few years without being touched or driven. Before it was parked Gentleman used it as his daily driver for few years. Right now, engine does start, and the G-Wagen can be driven around, but its cold-natured, and it needs to be warmed up first.

Walkaround:
This G-Wagen was repainted years ago, and for a daily driver, Navy Blue paint looks good, but if you want it to shine in its full glory, it would need a new coat of paint. Body and undercarriage are very straight and original!! All gaps are proper, and all doors, hood and trunk are opening and closing as they should!! This is a solid and most importantly UNMOLESTED example of W460 G-Wagen!! Because of its intended use as an ultimate off-road vehicle, there are some “Frankenstein” G-Wagens out there, and to find one to be free of horrors, torture, and days of its hard use and abuse is getting harder and harder by the minute!!!! When you wipe the dust off the inside of the fender-wells, original paint is revealed!!! There are no numerous coats of undercoatings on undercarriage and suspension where previous owners would try to hide or “protect it” from rust! Frame rails are perfect, solid and they look brand new, showing its original factory powdercoating! Original VIN Number Stamping is also present on its passenger side frame rail – another rare and desirable “Item” on the long list of Original G-Wagen Traits and requirements if you wish to own best of the best!!! These trucks are built tough, meant to be used, abused, played hard and put away wet, and many are as they are ultimate off road vehicles, but finding one that wasn’t altered by numerous previous owners is a hard task. Original Interior is all complete, in great condition and it is very presentable. Seats are nice and comfortable, and they are rips and tears free. Dash is also nice, without cracks. Headliner is also in great condition! Being original European Model and “Gray Market” vehicle, this G-wagen has no A/C. All in all this is a very nice, complete and unmolested truck, that has a lot of potential, and considering its history and heritage it will make a very nice and fun project, and great return on investment!!!
