This 4.2L M116-swapped 1992 Mercedes-Benz 200GE was ordered new in Italy and has underwent extensive modification. Finished in Arctic White (147) over black leather and plaid cloth, power is provided by a 4.2-liter M116 V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Modifications include Recaro bucket seats, beadlock forged alloy wheels, dual side-exit stainless exhaust, and lifted suspension. Additional features include power windows, power door mirrors and central locking. Now showing 65k km, approximately 40k miles, this G wagen is offered by the selling dealer in Aalen, Germany with partial service history and a clean Italian title.
The body is finished in Arctic White (147) with contrasting satin black bumpers, trim and headlight grilles. Exterior features include fog lamps front and rear, a rear window wiper, power door mirrors, central locking and dual side-exit stainless exhaust tips. The seller reports minor touch up work with no signs of rust or damage present on the body.
16” forged alloy Terrafirma TF100 beadlock wheels have been fitted and wear Maxxis Creepy Crawler all-terrain tires which measure 35x12.50. A spare steel wheel is mounted on the rear door and is finished in black. Modifications performed in Italy in 2018 included a suspension lift of 4 cm along with reinforced shock absorbers, polyurethane suspension bushings and heat-treated steel springs.
The cabin has been reupholstered in black leather with plaid cloth inserts accenting the door panels and seats. Recaro Idealsitz Orthopad 81 bucket seats have been installed and feature partial power adjustability. Zebrano wood trim lines the center console and dashboard showing no signs of cracking or fading. Interior amenities include power front windows, sliding rear side windows, a Mercedes-Benz radio and CD player, and a set of aftermarket speakers.
The four-spoke steering wheel fronts analog instrumentation including a 180-km/h speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and a multi-gauge showing fuel level, coolant temperature and oil pressure. The six-digit mechanical odometer currently shows 65k km, approximately 41k miles, and is noted as true mileage unknown (TMU) due to the engine swap.
The original 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine was swapped with a 4.2-liter M116 V8 from a C126 420SEC which is rated for 215 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. The 5-speed manual transmission was mated to the engine using a CNC machined aluminum adapter plate which sends power to a transfer case with selectable four-wheel drive with three locking differentials. The engine was reported as having 45k km when installed with 5k km added since. Underbody photos have been included by the seller and are viewable in the gallery.
Documentation from 2018 shows a detailed list of the modifications which were performed by an off road specialist in Italy. This M116-powered G wagen is now offered for sale by the selling dealer in Aalen, Germany with partial service history and a clean Italian title.

@TCE63Wagon the last G was shipped to LA. It was about 2.200€. We will help and assist to organize the shipping. ThanksEstimated costs to an East coast US port? Will seller assist in transportation?@Mercedesml Thank you for the info. 3000 is fine, however with oversized tires it might be moving faster than than 100 km/h reading. BTW, my 500GE is at 2400 rpm at 100 km/h.@MustHavePrecious Delivery from Aalen to Bremerhaven is about 1.000€/1.100 USD@MustHavePrecious yes correct no AC. It’s about 3000 at 100km/h in fifth gear. I compared it with my 500GE, it’s similar geared. Thanks@Mercedesml How much delivery to Bremerhaven port would run, approximately? Thank you.$26,000 bid placed by @marco1966

@Mercedesml Thank you for your reply. - No A/C, correct? - what is the RPM at 100km/h in fifth gear? I have G-Wagon with M117 and it is geared rather high, but this one being a modified vehicle, I have to ask. Thanks@MustHavePrecious The car was not driven for some time, it’s just steam / water. Of course tires are on higher speed noisy, because of the tread. It was taken up to 3/4 gear, so everything is fine. Everything on the car is working perfect. All gears are shifting good.This video only helped with: - a lot of smoke at startup, could be steam, unburned fuel, or burning off oil leaked into cylinders at rest - very noisy tires, to be expects with this tread, so highway use out of question as-is - looks like the vehicle was taken up to third or fourth gear, but if this was all 5 gears, than it is geared way too low for any usability on a highway Please provide better driving video at 100+ km/h one with with engine warmed up.$24,000 bid placed by @Ghost
