I have a 1980 280GE, bought from a private seller in OR through the clubgwagen website classifieds. Nice truck, except I had to spend 5-6K getting everything sorted out- only has 27K miles (verified) and things were gummed up. If you don't mind going kind of slow, they are fun to drive- a little tiring, but typical 80s MB quality (like a rock) and unbelievable 4wd capability...far beyond anything I will likely use. No AC but the best ventilation of any car I've owned since I can't recall when....only thing better is a boat with a flying bridge.
