1992 Mercedes-Benz - 230GE

Product Details

THIS. . . is a 1992 Puch 230GE, finished in green with a green soft top and a green interior. Factory equipment includes 16-inch wheels, a locking rear differential, a trailer hitch, a removable soft top, and rear bench seats, according to a build sheet pictured in the gallery. The seller reports no modifications. Mercedes-Benz joined forces with Steyr-Daimler-Puch to create the original G-Class (W460). It was released in 1979 and aimed largely at farmers and adventurers; Beverly Hills wasn't on the company's radar yet. The G's upmarket ascent started when the extensively updated W463 arrived in 1990. It looked a lot like the original G, but it gained a longer list of features and a permanent four-wheel-drive system. Units sold in Austria, Switzerland, and some markets in Eastern Europe were marketed by the Puch brand, though these trucks were nearly identical to their Mercedes-Benz-badged counterparts. Power comes from a 2. 3-liter 4-cylinder engine, rated at 126 horsepower and 141 lb-ft of torque. Called "M102" internally, and shared with several Mercedes-Benz models from the 1980s and 1990s, it spins the rear or the four wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
