Legendary Gelandewagen - The Original G-Class For sale is a rare
and iconic 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300GD (W460)-the grandfather of all
modern G-Wagens. Powered by the bulletproof OM617NA 5-cylinder
diesel engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, this 4x4
legend is equipped with front and rear locking differentials,
making it one of the most capable and utilitarian vehicles ever
built. ?? Vehicle Overview Engine: OM617 5-Cylinder Diesel

recent maintenance: ? New shock absorbers (all 4) ? New springs

shield ? Valve adjustments (twice) ?? Note: The coolant recently

body rust is present and restoration will be needed down the road.
The interior has been removed, safely stored, and included with the

capacity to 9-a highly desirable feature rarely seen. ?? Why This
G-Wagen? This 300GD is the real deal-not a modern luxury SUV but a
hand-built, military-grade workhorse straight from Graz, Austria.
It represents the genesis of the entire G-Class lineage, preceding
the G500, G550, G63, G65, and GE models. Whether you're looking to
restore a piece of off-road history, build a rugged overlanding
