1993 Mercedes-Benz G-Class Designo V8 500 GE Description

*** VIN isWDB46322817089735, eBay does notrecognize non-US VINs ***
For sale is my classic 1993 W463 500 GE. I personally imported this G from southern Japan in the fall of 2018. This is one of the first production V8 Gelandewagens ever produced, with fewer than 500 ever built in 1993/1994. These were never originally for sale in North America. It features a 5.0 M117 V8 (MB realized that the M119 didn't fit in the W463 engine bay), 4 speed automatic transmission with high / low transfercase and locking center and rear differentials.
The exterior is metallic purple with very few blemishes. The wheels are rare late '90s AMG 18" wheels with brand new Continental tires.
The interior is in great shape (no rips or tears in the leather) and features power front heated seats, cold air-conditioning, and hot heat. All panels are the original Designo two tone black and gray leather.
No warning lights on the dash, no smoke from the exhaust, runs and drives well. Zero rust or rot.
Over $10,000 in recent service performed by a classic MB specialist in Minnesota (have receipts). I also have an English owners manual and annual inspection records from Japan.
Clean Minnesota title.
Current KM is: 104,441 = approximately 64,897 MI
