Mercedes Benz GD300 Cabriolet W460 (1980)

Kickdown's Take
by Louis KalendruschatThis early G-Class from the W460 series, equipped with the popular 3.0-liter five-cylinder OM 617 engine, is a true character. The short cabriolet version in particular—with a fabric top, four-speed manual transmission, and first registration in Germany—is increasingly sought after by collectors. The engine is original and runs flawlessly; the body has been completely repainted in the original beige color, and the interior has been partially restored. Early G-Class models have appreciated significantly in value in recent years. An appealing vehicle for off-road enthusiasts and fans of open-air driving.
