There are a few floating around in the USA. Best way to find one would be through Russ Leabch of the old Europa International in Santa Fe, NM. They've closed shop, but Russ is still selling G's out of a location in Colorado.

If you want his phone number, send me an email.

Here, try this place.

They deal in Mercedes, Land rover, Porsche, and an odd lot of exclusive and hard to find cars, including the W-463 SWB.

The typical G500 is already $80K, so i'd rather get the rare one that i love if I'm gonna pay.
