1990 Puch (Mercedes) 230 GE

Location: Jacksonville, Florida

Why It’s Curated: This 1990 Puch 230GE is for sale in Jacksonville, Florida. It was originally a Swiss Military vehicle that was imported to Florida in 2020. This is a highly original vehicle with a green exterior and green interior. This version has a 2.3L inline 4 cylinder, automatic transmission, rear differential lock and a long list of recent maintenance, see below. We are big fans of early G-Wagons and would love have this one in the garage to use for trips to the beach. Check out all the images in the gallery and let us know if you have any questions about this truck.

For those that don’t know why some G-Wagons were branded as Puch, they were all built in the same factory. However, in the agreement between Daimler-Benz AG and Steyr-Daimler-Puch it stipulated that G-Wagons sold in Austria, Switzerland, Yugoslavia and other select countries were called Puch and elsewhere, Mercedes-Benz. Perhaps surprisingly, the reason they did this was due to Puch’s reputation for its off road vehicles, the Haflinger and Pinzgauer, and having the Puch name in these countries would be considered beneficial over the Mercedes-Benz brand.
