This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG is a left-hand-drive, original Japanese-market that is now in Romania. Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic (197) over Black Leather (271), this example is powered by an AMG built 5.5-liter V8 linked with a five-speed automatic transmission that powers all four wheels. The early W463 G55 AMG decodes as a G500, but has a 113.982 engine code denoting the AMG engine where 5.0-liter G500 M113 trucks will decode as a 113.962. AMG Japan stickers and plates prove the authenticity of this example. Features include a dual-range transfer case and locking front, center, and rear differentials as well as a power sunroof, running boards, four wheel disc brakes, 18″ AMG wheels, heated power-adjustable front seats, heated second-row bench, inward-facing rear jump seats, air conditioning, AMG floor mats, and a factory CD changer. This G-wagen shows just under 191k kilometers (118k miles) and is offered by the selling party out of Romania. 

This AMG W463 is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic (197) and exterior features include a power-operated sunroof, fog lights, running board side steps, dual AMG side exhaust outlets, a rear wiper, AMG doorsills, and painted spare tire cover with polished bezeling. Rock guards are seen on the fender lights. The seller has added photos of all imperfections of the truck in the gallery. There are some light scuffs, chips, and cracked paint shown that align with the mileage of the vehicle. AMG badging from AMG Japan is thoroughly documented in the photogallery. 

AMG five-spoke 18″ wheels wear their original Astral Silver painted inserts with machined lips and are wrapped in Kormoran Summer SUV tires measuring 285/60 at all four corners with 2022 date codes. A full size spare is mounted to the rear door with a paint-matched cover. This example features triple locking differentials which are controlled via toggles on the dashboard. 

The cabin is upholstered in Black Leather (271) with matching door panel inserts and burl walnut trim accenting the center console, dashboard, and door panels. Amenities include power-adjustable heated front seats, a heated rear bench, AMG door sills, and climate control. The original Mercedes-Benz head unit sits underneath the A/C panel. The headliner is upholstered in anthracite and the AMG floor mats with silver piping front and rear are shown in the gallery. Third-row inward facing jump seats stow away in the trunk compartment against the side windows. A cargo net clips into metal rings along the floorbeards in the trunk to keep groceries from moving during transit. The rear driver speaker is missing from the door.

The black leather wrapped multi-function steering wheel frames a 280-kph speedometer as well as a tachometer with a 6,000-rpm redline. The center LCD screen shows all working pixels and can cycle through various settings via the steering wheel controls. Early G55 AMGs have facelift style W210 instrument clusters before it switched to the W203 style clusters. The digital odometer indicates just under 191k kilometers (118k miles).

The naturally aspirated 5.5-liter M113 V8 was factory rated at 349 horsepower and 387 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is delivered to all four wheels via a five-speed 722.6 automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and three locking differentials that are controlled via switches on the dashboard. The early W463 G55 AMG decodes as a G500, but has a 113.982 engine code denoting the AMG engine where 5.0-liter G500 M113 trucks will decode as a 113.962. This sticker is shown under the hood with the engine numbers. AMG Japan stickers and plates prove the authenticity of this example. M113 engines in a W463 sit low on the passenger side in the engine bay, so do not fret about the slanted M113. 

This rare, early G55 AMG shows just under 191k kilometers (118k miles) and is offered by the selling party out of Romania.
