City-tough gwagen for sale. This G was "found" a couple of years ago here in Portland and has since had a lot of work done with the running gear. Since 2010 when I purchased it I've done interior/exterior body work with a new paint job and some accessories. Below is a detailed list of recent upgrades:

1. 617A diesel engine from a 1985 300SD California Edition. The car was broadsided and had ~125,000 miles on it. The intent was to keep as much of the SD's engine supporting pieces in tact (radiator, etc). At the time of the swap out there was a recent adjustment of the valves done on this motor. I have put about 5,000 miles on it since the new motor.
2. Tires -- 2005
3. Exhaust system replacement -- 2008
4. Driveline straighten and balance -- 2008
5. Transmission rebuild -- 2008
6. Wheel bearing kit front -- 2009
7. Flush and patch fuel tank -- 2012
8. Paint job (MB Onyx Gray color 721) including replacing passenger and driver foot floor boards, rhino liner interior base -- 2012. There is now zero rust on this vehicle. $10.7k
9. Front brake caliper rebuild -- 2012
10. Dual RedTop battery installation with wench -- 2012. $3k
11. Trailer lights setup (us version)

Included are the wench, the original vinyl carpets (now replaced with Rhino Liner), a stainless steel brush guard (painted black) and a pair of Recaro seats with all needed hardware for installation.

VIN: 46023217034227
Mileage: Unknown
Licensed as a 1972 Mercedes B to avoid emissions testing.



I'm looking forward to your call.

I only say this because I shot beer thru my nose when I read your post!
Good luck with your sale, If I hadn't just bought a Defender I would be driving this home.

Was the paint job $10.7K or is that what you are asking?

Tough crowd...

Tough crowd...

the windshield frames rot out on old ones, amongst other things. theres plenty of time in replacing expensive body parts on these. im asking questions for potential portal buyers, this isnt craigs list or ebay. all it takes is the op to give an honest answer as to the work that was done.
