1986 Mercedes-Benz 280GE G Class Wagon; 5 Speed

Location: Santa Fe, NM

Why It’s Curated: Like many, we have a love – hate thing with G Wagons. Modern G-wagons are often over powered AMGs on massive road wheels that will never consider hitting any dirt, ever. However, the older G Wagons like this 280GE beg to be driven in the manner for which they were built. Bring on the snow, dirt, and anything else you can throw at it. This particular model has low miles at only 75k, was from the period of spectacular Mercedes build quality, and has all the G Wagon essentials like locking front and rear differentials.
