Used 1986 Mercedes-benz G-Class Used Manual SUV LWB OM617A (Turbo diesel)L Diesel

Seller Description

Finally decided to part with my Gelandewagen.These vehicles are very rare and capable, but deserves more attention than I have the time to give it.For those familiar:
- Rare dark blue w blue plaid interior, LWB, 5spd
- Professional engine swap from the om617 to the om617a (huge difference)
- New exhaust system as part of swap (2017), exhaust exits now beneath the right rear door - sounds awesome
- 31" BF Goodrich K02s all around
- Front and rear lockers work
- 4wd, hi and lo workBad
- These are prone to some weak rust spots and there will be body work required by the next owner (frame and all key components, ie. motor and suspension mounts are fine)
- Few window frame rust spots- Left and right rocker panels- Headlight housing- Driver footwell rust requires attention - The transmission is missing 5th - I've never explored further, besides that its not there.

The previous owner gave me a story of there being a problem with the gear so it was removed - I don't have any other details. It's a 5spd housing and has the linkages, there is simply no gear there- Previous owner commissioned a poor quality paint job that could use attentionI have the truck well documented with many more photos (including undercarriage) than in this post taken earlier week to show all of the above in its current state. I'm sure I'm missing some information, vehicles of this age have many quirks.Dropbox link available upon request.I will be sad to see this gem go, but I'm too busy to enjoy it and prefer someone own it who can. Great 4x4 project for a father son/daughter to touch up the body and go.Willing to work with anyone to ship anywhere.Located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
