Yup, 240GD. Short and long wheelbase.

That's been offered in the past. In fact I think it's been mentioned here.

It looks so right with those purposeful wheels vs the psuedo dubs on US Gs.

Sixto
87 300D

I Saw a youtube video on a 300GD and the owner says its slow, i cant imagine how more slower is on a 240GD, i dont think 300GD Naturally aspirated (except the OM617.95 and OM603) or 240GD are highway worthy.
