Description
THIS… is an exceptionally restored and extensively modified Mercedes-Benz G-Class, finished in Cream Yellow with a black and deep red leather interior.
This G-Class underwent a comprehensive two-year restoration and build (2023–2024), completed to a very high standard. The project involved a bare-metal teardown, etch preparation, and a multi-stage respray, along with significant drivetrain, suspension, axle, braking, and interior upgrades. Approximately 900 miles have been driven since completion.
Power comes from an OM606 turbo diesel engine, fitted with a Holset turbocharger and a tuned OM603 mechanical injection pump, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and new clutch. A VG80 461 AG transfer case with PTO provides a 2:1 low-range reduction, while portal axles deliver additional reduction with fast gearing for improved drivability.
This build incorporates Unimog 404S portal axles, upgraded suspension, heavy-duty steering components, modern amenities, and premium interior materials, blending classic G-Wagen character with serious off-road capability and long-distance usability.
