This 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500GE 6.0 AMG was originally ordered in Germany and modified by AMG Germany per the ZB6 option code post-delivery. This G-Wagon is one of 13 documented examples modified by AMG with a 6.0 M117 V8. Finished in Amethyst Blue Metallic (5338) over Black and Gray Leather, power comes from a 6.0L AMG M117 V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. This example is 1 of 446 500GE examples produced by Mercedes-Benz. Features include automatic climate control with factory air conditioning, differential lockers, a power sunroof, power seats, heated front seats, and a period Blaupunkt head unit. This 500GE 6.0 has been well-maintained and documented and included service records dating from 1997 through the present showing approximately $75k spent in total. Recent services include a fuel injection service, ignition service, and A/C service. The odometer currently shows 278k km (~172k miles) and this W463 comes with service records, factory literature, a factory tool kit, AMG certification, 2 keys, and a clean Norway title.
The body was repainted in the original Amethyst Blue Metallic (5338) in 2021 with documentation included. The body features a brushed aluminum brush guard, matching running boards, and a spare wheel and tire stored in a color-matched cover. The owner notes the ladder frame was replaced with an older frame in 1997 due to luxury taxes in Norway.
Period 5-spoke AMG wheels are mounted and measure 18x8.5. The wheels are wrapped in General All Terrain tires measuring 275/70 at all four corners. The tires are noted to be older and show 2015 date codes.
The interior is trimmed in Black and Gray Leather with matching door cards and accented with Burred Walnut veneer on the door panels, dashboard, center console, and sunroof controls. All upholstery and wood presents in excellent condition. Amenities include air conditioning, differential lockers, a power sunroof, power seats, heated front seats, and a period Blaupunkt head unit.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a VDO gauge cluster showing a 220kph speedometer, 7k rpm tachometer, an analog clock, fuel level gauge, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer currently reads 278k km (~172k miles).
The AMG-modified 6.0L M117 was rated for 300 horsepower and 460 lb-ft when new. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 4-speed automatic transmission and dual-speed transfer case. The truck features 2 differential lockers controlled by switches on the dash. It’s been well-maintained and documented and included service records dating from 1997 through the present showing approximately $75k spent in total.

This G just oozes coolness. I didn't know this was a thing until I saw it. Jealous of whoever wins it.@AVL70 Definitely was mentioned in the copy and yes rather common for this era. Killer G!@AVL70 "The owner notes the ladder frame was replaced with an older frame in 1997 due to luxury taxes in Norway. " In the middle of the description it is visible! When the car moved to Norway they chose to change the frame in order to avoid the ultra high luxury taxes for a 6.0L V8 luxury car. It is very common in this period to have a frame change , but we have all documentation including the purchase contract from Germany to Norway with only 60.000 kmG is from 1980 with a 460 chassis but rest is 1993! Never mentioned anywhere why????$59,963 bid placed by @AVL70
@anomadtoo I think that's just the beginning. Premerger AMG with a 6.0 and limited production....Nahhh that's mildWell that was just blown waaayy out of a normal market price range; haha. Consider this done.@BoKnowsBenz nah@MSerpe Yes! and we have another of the 13 500GE 6.0 made, which by the way is very consistent to this one running now. @rattytubes no issue importing a car older than 25 years in the US if you bid. We have done it over 300 times over, and if you are in still in California you can get a Montana LLC. Would live to see this one come to the US, either with us or the very lucky winner of this extremely rare AMG Benz. GLWA.@PatinaCollective would be a great addition to park next to the white 300GD at the museum@rattytubes If you got the money to buy you got the money to figure it out. 25 years and older can enter just gotta pay Uncle Sam.... Unless you live in California in which case you shoud leave.We have 2 extraordinary cars from @Tino in the collection, an S70 AMG and an SL73S Brabus. This SOHC Hammer-G is an AMG not to be missed!$59,463 bid placed by @PatinaCollective

The seller has uploaded two videos to the listing.@MercedesDad Hi 460 chassis change is approved in the title and the title matches the frame vin number, so no issue with import First date of registration 31.12.1980 The AMG certificate and the Mercedes garage invoices use the W463 VIN. All title docs contain the actual 460 VIN. The frame replacement is documented with papers from 1997.G-Hammer! The granddaddy of the G63. @Tino, could you please elaborate the part where the ladder frame was replaced with an older chassis (from a W460 it seems) in 1997? I have imported cars to the US in the past but I cannot remember if US customs looks at that too. (Each state will vary).@BO55 Hi. It never ever had one. The conversion includes the 6.0L AMG M117 V8 engine (AMG technikpaket). Even the AMG wheels were later mounted. This is a german car tuned by AMG Affalterbach, not an AMG Japan car! The 1st owner chose to keep the original look.Is AMG steering wheel included@rattytubes Hello again. There is nothing to convert to get it street legal. I prepared a link of the shipping company I work with. There you can read everything you need to know. https://cfrclassic.com/international-car-shipping/car-imports-your-guide-to-the-25-year-rule/@Tino thanks for your response. So the import fees are all that we have to worry about? How does one go about ensuring the car meets US safety and emissions standards (federalization )? I really would like to be a player in this auction but there are so many gaps in my knowledge of this process, and the more I research online the less confident I am in my ability to successfully import.$25,500 bid placed by @ekstarr

@rattytubes Hello. The car is located in Quakenbrueck, Germany. The distance to the next port in Bremerhaven is around 100 miles. I will do a closed transport to the port without any additional fees for the buyer. The buyer pays the container and as far as I know 2.5% import fees in the US (Car is over 25 years old).Hello. Info for US bidders: The car is located in Quakenbrueck, Germany. The distance to the next port in Bremerhaven is around 100 miles. I will do a closed transport to the port without any additional fees for the buyer. The buyer pays the container and as far as I know 2.5% import fees in the US (Car is over 25 years old).Couple obvious yet important questions, especially for those of us in the US: 1. What city is the car located? Usually it states in the Quick Facts section but not in this listing. I know it states Norway title, but is it actually in Norway? I know a car can be titled in one European country but garaged in another. 2. What are we looking at in terms of ballpark $$$ and paperwork hassle to get this to the US? Thanks and GLWTA!
