The ad in that link claims 30MPG. Does that sound right? Would the longer wheelbase be pretty close to the same mileage as that?

I love how lots of these clueless sellers will state that. Just because the smaller lighter more aerodynamic cars get figures like that doesn't mean that a G with the same engine will do the same.....I think 20MPG is about the most you can get out of any gray market model....and thats pushing it. (Don't quote me on that, i'm a pretty rusty on my G knowledge these days) Guess a 90-91 model would still be the best bet then. Damn that Texas one is really tempting me now...

Has anybody seen that new Volkswagen comercial where the guy is bragging to his next door neighbor about the mileage he gets with his Prius? Then the next door neighbor tells him he gets 40 or 50 or something like that with his new deisel VW.
Maybe Americans will finally start to appreciate the deisel engine more, once they really look into it.

Oh yeah definatly not a prototype of any sort. It looks way too close to regular wolfs for that. If anything I wouldn't call it that special. Military G's can and are often configured in thousands of unique ways.

BUT!!!! Military G's are W461's; and he's showing it as a W460. It's obviously somebody's conversion to make it look like military. I can tell you at least one company in Austria that does exactly that.

I would never touch it if it wasn't authentic, i'm just posting the link in case Dee8go would like to see it. I've heard of people kitting out Land Rover Discoverys and advertising them as real "Camel Trophy" vehicles, thankfully there is a good club that will tell you whether or not someone is lieing. I didn't realize anyone was pulling the same trick with Wolfs. Seems kinda pointless....aren't there plenty of surplus Wolfs on the market in Germany?

Thanks, Fulcrum. If I ever had one of them, I'd want the enclosed one.
