About the 1979 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 300GD

The 300 GD is the best known diesel of the W460 generation. It has a 3.0L five cylinder making 87 hp. Factory figures are 0 to 62 mph in 27 seconds and a top speed of 79 mph. It was built from 1979 to 1990. Of all the W460 models, it was built in the largest numbers. Collectors prize it for its simple build and strong reputation for durability. Check for frame rust, door seam rust and a gearbox that shifts cleanly. Look for original paint, intact hard top or canvas and honest records. Many have been modified for off road use, so unmodified cars stand out.
