I am finally to the point where I getting rid of extra clutter and making room for new toys. I am trying to locate a G-class from the 80’s. I had the opportunity to drive one this summer and had a great time driving from Texas to Wisconsin. I am looking for a diesel, with hopes of finding one with a manual transmission (not picky however). I would be interested in a gas; I just know nothing about the engine. I have been told they only came with a six cylinder? What type of gas mileage will this get and does it have a good toeing capacity? Is the six cylinder reliable, or what can I expect to have to replace?

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,
Dr. J. Bones
