A 1991 Mercedes-Benz 250GD restomod from Expedition Motor Company.
-
The refinished interior includes wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity on a centrally mounted Pioneer touchscreen.
-
The inline-five diesel engine puts out plenty of torque at lower speeds.
-
The interior, trimmed in European Oak, includes heated seats dressed in faux-leather vinyl.
-
The founder of Expedition Motor Company, Alex Levin, typically suggests a manual transmission, though he will also spec an automatic.
-
This engaging vehicle harkens back to a previous era of motoring, one without digital distractions.
-
For the few buyers who plan to take their Wolf off-roading, the G-Wagen’s short wheelbase, solid-axle articulation, and both front and rear cable-locking differentials combine to create a capable rig.
-
Smooth suspension, made possible by the G-Wagen’s early use of coil-spring solid axles, now employs modern Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers.
-
Even with the convertible top removed, this vehicle never goes fast enough for wind noise to become a big issue.

An Expedition Motor Company restomod of the Mercedes-Benz 250GD typically hovers around $170,000, and requires around 2,100 hours of labor.
