THE MERCEDES-BENZ GELANDEWAGEN
One of the most formidable and rugged off-road vehicles of all time, the Mercedes Gelandewagen ("Cross-Country Vehicle") was originally designed for military use. Mercedes joined forces with Steyr-Daimler-Puch to produce the vehicle in Gaz, Austria. Quickly realizing the greater potential of the vehicle outside of the armed forces, a civilian version was made available in 1979, and despite its global popularity and rugged reputation, it was not until 2002 that the United States received its own G-Wagen. By then, Mercedes trudged through great lengths to move the G-Class upmarket and away from its agrarian roots. As such, only V8 engine options and the long wheelbase four-door version were made available and the interior was filled with plenty of wood, leather, and numerous luxury features.
THE CAR OFFERED
This battlefield veteran has been offered a new lease on life, albeit a blessed one. Designed and crafted by the industry leaders in off-road creations at Expedition Motor Company of Frenchtown, New Jersey, every aspect of this G250D 2-door convertible has been thoroughly inspected and either upgraded or restored. The countless hours of detailed and meticulous craftsmanship seamlessly blend the iconic, vintage design with modern technology, creating a one-of-a-kind vehicle.
To transform a mild-mannered G250D into the "Wolf," Expedition Motor Co. required more than 2,000 hours. Beautifully finished Mojave Silver over Cocoa vinyl interior and a black soft top, upgrades on this truck include a snorkel for deep water fording and undercarriage shields for carefree rock excursions. During the restoration, the body was stripped to bare metal and media blasted prior to painting in Mojave Silver. Inside, the bolstered bucket seats, front and rear, are covered in exceptional hand-crafted upholstery, providing comfortable experience for up to four passengers, who are all protected by the custom-built, extra-strength rollbar and an optional soft top. Under its beautiful skin lies the fully rebuilt, virtually indestructible 2.5-liter diesel connected to a five-speed manual transmission. While the Wolf may not deliver modern AMG G-Class levels of on-road performance – there is a good reason why you have not witnessed many high-speed chases lead by a 1993 Mercedes 250GD – you will certainly not be disappointed in its performance once the pavement ends.
The overarching theme of this project was to preserve the look and character of the original icon, but sprinkled throughout are high-end improvements for a more enjoyable experience. This G250D Wolf convertible is a superb example of the rarely seen Mercedes-Benz off-roader that will be the envy of the crowd, whether at a show, off-road event, or with the top and windshield folded, cruising through downtown.
