Mercedes-Benz introduced the G-Class, or Geländewagen (commonly shortened to G-Wagen), in 1979 as a rugged and robust four-wheel-drive vehicle. It quickly earned a reputation for exceptional build quality and reliability, and it became hugely popular around the world for adventurers wanting to get from point A to point B and let nothing stop them in-between. The original Type 460 G-Wagen could be had with petrol and diesel engines as well, with the 300 GD, inline five-cylinder diesel engine being the largest available power plant offered. This Mercedes-Benz 300 GD LWB has 87 bhp, 2,998 cc SOHC inline five-cylinder diesel engine OM617 with indirect fuel injection, four-speed manual transmission, independent suspension with shock absorbers and coil springs, and front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Color Agave Green.
