Kickdown's Take

by Louis Kalendruschat

This 300 GD, an open-top convertible in the rare color “Aubergine,” is a real head-turner among the early G-Class models. The original 3.0-liter five-cylinder diesel engine has been overhauled and runs flawlessly; it also features a new soft top, a new clutch, and a refurbished interior with checkered fabric. The body and interior are in very well-maintained condition, with no rust and no known accident damage. Early G-Class models with manual transmissions are in high demand and have been steadily increasing in value for years. A characterful off-road vehicle for collectors and fans of open-air driving.
