If you admire the G500 or G55 body style this is the G-class for you, minus the Mercedes G500 & G55 electrical problems, minus the V8 gas guzzler engine, minus the High price sticker tag and expensive parts that come along with it.

I present to you my 1986 Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen G-class 280GE that has been updated to appear as a 2007 G55 AMG.

This G-class was legally imported by Europa G-wagen USA the official importer that was licensed by Mercedes-Benz in Germany to import the G-class in the United States until 2001.

The clear NY state title shows it as a 1986 Mercedes-Benz 280GE.

The entire conversion was done the right way! updated to a 2007 G55 AMG look.

This vehicle is 21 years old and for its age it is a good condition, but not perfect.

I am honest and upfront and do not like secrets, so I will start with the recommendations for the G-wagen if I was to keep it.

• There is some surface rust in some areas of the G-wagen, the usual spots for an older G-wagen such as rear corner panels located at the rear signal lights. Gas tank and front wheel well by housing area have some surface rust.
• Heater (needs blower switch).
• Front Brakes and Rotors are scheduled to be replaced in 2-3 months.
• (1) Front shock absorber.
• Rear main seal minor leak.
• A paint job was recently done costing $3,500 because of a minor fender bender.
