Those Europa Gwagens are looking great in those pics. Glory days.

When you consider my G463 was $127,000 in 1996, they most certainly were the glory days.

Boy that W210 E300TD is tempting...........glad it wasn't around when I had my W460 617.

Amazing pics Tony!

 

[Scott Brady]

Time for the new engine. Looking forward to getting the G-Wagen back on the road

 

[David Harris]

Nice combo there!

I so like the understated look of that G, Scott. There's a beast beneath that subtle facade.

Thanks, mk216y. Hard to take a bad one in those circumstances.

Thank you Tony. I have really changed my project philosophy the past decade. Simple and clean is the approach now.

 

[Scott Brady]

I thought all of you would enjoy the dramatic fashion the the G-Wagon blew the Brabus. . . A $30,400 bang. . .

 

[Byways]

Ouch! How does one do that?

 

[Scott Brady]

I was just motoring down the road at 65mph with the cruise control on. Then BLAM! clank clack grrrrrrr.

 

[Byways]

Well, guess I'll be staying off the cruise control ...

But perhaps there's a build-up project herein?

Yep, scheduling the new motor installation now. Too bad it costs as much as a house

 

[Ryanmb21]

Is the motor literally 30k!??

Yes.

Just the oil pan is $1,200.

Ridiculous, I know...
