Description

This is a 1985 truck but had to list as 1980 as the VIN is outdated. It is 100% US legal, titled in Pennsylvania, State Inspection completed -

Long Wheel Base 2-Door Mercedes Benz Gelandewagen – 300GD. Body off Frame Restoration - I have photos of all the work.

This is an OM617 5-cylinder non-turbo diesel engine with mechanical fuel pump all matted to the indestructible 4 speed transmission.There is not a more reliable, consistent, bullet-proof engine out there. She’ll never win a race but she’ll never leave you stranded or get stuck in snow or mud.

Everything on this truck works. The body and mechanicals are in new or excellent condition. The rubber and trim pieces are in new or excellent condition.I’ve seen dozens of these come through EBAY and personally inspected several. None have been in as good a condition as mine. I have invested countless hours of my time and over $70k on the restoration including the price of the truck (bought from Mastadon Motors (scam artists as it was supposed to be in outstanding, rust-free condition-it was far from it)

Truck comes with replacement light bulbs for headlights, signal lights, brake lights, interior dome lights, dashboard lights.All are 24-volt.Also comes with a half dozen NOS 24-volt relays.

This truck starts every time, runs like a champ, and is likely the nicest 2-door LWBs in the US.Fully titled and inspected. Title in hand.
