Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WDB46323017108097
The Mercedes-Benz G 36 AMG was among the earliest Affalterbach-bred
G-wagen variants following the start of Mercedes-Benz and AMG's
official collaboration in 1993. A special-order model that followed
the extremely limited 500 GE 6.0 AMG, the G 36 AMG was fitted with
the 3.6-liter "M104" inline-six out of the E36 and C36 AMG models
but was mildly detuned for better low-end torque to better suit the
Gel�ndewagen's all-terrain identity. During the G 36's production
run from 1994 to 1997, it is thought that only 120 examples were
produced, and almost exclusively sold in the Japanese market.
This 1997 Mercedes-Benz G 36 AMG was ordered new in Japan as a
left-hand drive example. The car is finished in Brilliant Silver
Metallic with a Black leather interior adorned with Burl Walnut
accents. It was ordered with a sunroof, 18-inch alloy wheels,
running boards, side-exit exhaust tips, and heated power-adjustable
seats. It was lightly modified with a Blaupunkt stereo, aftermarket
speakers, and aftermarket headlights styled after more contemporary
G-wagens.
The CARFAX Vehicle History Report indicates that the car was
imported into the United States from the Netherlands in September
2023. Once in the United States, this rare G 36 AMG received a
service that included replacing the battery, spark plugs, muffler,
valve cover gasket and front brake rotors. Additional work included
refinishing the wheels and valve cover, and cleaning the engine bay
with dry ice. Once complete, the G 36 was brought to Santa Barbara,
California with its next caretaker later in October 2023.
Offered with 134,799 kilometers or approximately 83,670 miles at
the time of cataloging, this G 36 AMG is an exceptionally rare and
early example of the formula that helped refine the original
utilitarian Gel�ndewagen into an AMG-tuned luxury performance
overlander.
