Nice ride, too bad it does not come with a mounted MG42.

now that is something I would trade in my SD for.

If I had two SD's, I would trade them in for that.

The great thing about that G-wagon is that it has less electical mumbo-jumbo.

Roll down windows, and seats. Awsome veichle.

I have seen a Russian SUV with a MB 4cyl diesel. The man who swapped the engine also swapped the grill. LOL, MB grill on a Russian SUV.

The positive things of the Russian SUV, is the mear strength of the whole body.
those puppies were used in the army. Unfortunately the engines were just dreadful.

Can somebody interpret the VIN and see if it's really an '86? I thought production of the 617 ended with the W123 in '85. I know I've seen a 300GD with a 603 under the hood in person, and I seem to remember it was an '86.
