This is a great g-wagen for someone who knows what they want and how hard and expensive it is to get one into this condition. I tried extremely hard to build the perfect G. I know some people will like or dislike certain things I've done. My goal was to have the look of the early 463 models with the simplicity and reliability of a 460. However it is a 27-yr old truck and not a G500 and does have some minor inherent flaws .


If you are interested please give me a call. My number is (801)209-7396.

Thanks for looking.
