The Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen ("terrain vehicle") started out just how you'd think: a utilitarian truck for the worst corners of the world, originally developed as a military off-roader. Designed to be rugged, reliable, and as tenacious as a mountain goat, the '80s models G-Wagons were the early roughnecks of the group, more like the Sahara Land Cruisers than the glamping luxury boxes you see NBA wives driving today. This particular 1984 Mercedes-Benz W460 'Puch' Diesel Wagon straddles the line between hard-nosed bushwhacker and luxury urban warrior, featuring a professional build atop a rare, gray-market foundation that's about as strong as anything ever built with four wheels. Fully restored with bright white paint, tough off-road exterior accessories, a comfortable A/C interior, and go-anywhere diesel drivetrain and suspension, this purpose-built G-Wagon is a very special piece.
The boxy shape and body-on-frame construction has always been a big part of this SUVs appeal, and the utilitarian look hasn't changed in decades. The W460 model ran from 1979-1992 and the exterior package pretty much looked the same every year and you could get one in a variety of wheelbases with either 2, 3, or 5-door models. The 5-door LWBs were the roomiest and best looking of the bunch, and that's precisely why the pros at G-Mercedes LLC from Utah picked this gray-market beauty to build their masterpiece upon. W460 G-Wagons were never officially exported into the United States (MB thought the utilitarian SUVs were contrary to our luxury perceptions of the brand), so any that you see were brought over by grey import specialists and sold at a premium. This particular G was built between Daimler-Benz and Steyr-Daimler-Puch for the Swiss/Austrian and Eastern European markets, and the Austrian-made Puch G's have always been some of the most sought-after derivations as their partnership got the whole party started back in 1972. Stripped down and repainted a slick coat of white during the restoration, this G-Wagon looks brutally elegant, further punctuated with blacked-out bumpers, front grille, fender flares, and that Sahara-ready, multi-use roof rack with a rear ladder, red shovels, and diamond-plate tent surface. It certainly makes a statement what with its flat windscreen, towering roof, and right angles, and the top-driver quality finish shows only minor imperfections, meaning this G-Wagon has likely never had to traverse anything short of a gravel driveway. Build quality is perhaps the best of all the many Benz models, and with its reputation for durability, there's probably nothing you can do to hurt it out in the wilderness. Other super-tough accessories include oversized side mirrors, four blinding LED light bars, a rear-mounted spare tire, and the coup-de-gras: a giant 3-pointed star in the middle of the grille.
Inside this shiny white box is every comfort and convenience item that was known to Mercedes-Benz engineers in 1984, along with some choice modern upgrades. Recent, ultra-smooth black vinyl upholstery on the front buckets and swapped-in rear bench (original jump seats are available) means the cabin is all-day comfortable, and everything wears like iron - from the simple black door panels, the taut headliner, and the original dash full of factory instruments, switches, and knobs. It's pure '80s nostalgia in a very practical design, with durable, protective coverings lining the floors and a huge storage area out back complete with a custom-built pull-out drawer system that's perfect for camping. Options include ice cold A/C and a heater that's powerful enough to warm the car as it scales the Andes, and a Pioneer double-din head unit was installed in the center of the dash, along with an additional AUX input that was mounted in the glove box. Those extra billet buttons control the exterior LED light bars, all the gauges are bright and clear, and the dash itself is in fantastic condition, with no cracks or fading from the sun. Working with all that space means stretch-out room is impressive, and for a vehicle that was never meant to be luxurious, this one sure gets it right.
Power comes from Mercedes' familiar 2.5L Inline 5-cylinder Turbo Diesel that was professional swapped-in and tuned perfectly for this glam-rig. The 2.5s were a somewhat rare for the G-Wagon (originally found in the 1988-91 250GDs), but the added cubes and power is welcomed in a truck this heavy. And you know it's a dependable workhorse motor as Mercedes put it inside their Sprinter vans for almost a decade, but it also has refined road manners for the modern roads, evidenced by the fact they were also found inside several of their 4-door sedans from 1985-1999. Horsepower and torque numbers aren't exactly awe-inspiring, but they got the job done, and when mated to a durable 5-speed manual transmission this Puch G is a blast to drive. The Straight 5 is a perfect fit in the G's engine bay where its mostly stock save for an upgrade intake tube and A/C hardware, and thanks to typical Mercedes engineering, it'll run practically forever with just a modicum of proper care. It's tidy under the hood and doesn't look like it was ever a winter warrior, so no worries in that regard, and the chassis looks robust enough to support a railroad car. Power steering and power front disc brakes means you don't have to be a bodybuilder to manage the steering wheel and brake pedal, and the heavy-duty axles and suspension, selective 4x4 system, and tall ground clearance all make this a true 'go-anywhere' vehicle. Blacked-out 16-inch Merc wheels complete the look, all of which are wrapped in butch BFGoodrich Mud-Terrains.
Beautiful, rare, impressively built, and ready to conquer every corner of the globe, this G-Wagon is a one-of-a-kind vintage SUV specifically built for those that want 'The Best or Nothing'. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent.
