Have you heard? Mastodons are extinct. They were cute furry creatures but they didn't stand the test of time. But the RHINO is still here. And the RHINO keeps on going and can go anywhere. Nothing stops the RHINO and nothing stops this Mercedes Benz 240GD. This truck is the most capable off-road and overland expedition vehicle in the world. It achieves 25 to 30 mpg. Used by military forces around the globe, ambassadors and heads of state like the Shah of Iran, the W461 Wolf Geländewagen started it all for today's G-Class trucks that Mercedes Benz still makes and sells little changed from the original design. This truck has the renowned and bullet-proof reliable 2.4 Liter Normally Aspirated inline 4 cylinder Diesel engine for which Mercedes is known and famous. This engine is like no other. First built in 1979, the Shah of Iran was a major Mercedes-Benz share holder and when he saw the military Geländewagen that Mercedes had engineered and built, he wanted one for himself. Hence the civilian Wolf version of the military spec 240GD you see here.
This truck has been restored and painted in RHINO liner impregnated with Kevlar for durability. Easy to clean and hard to scratch or blemish this Is like a RHINO skin over this tough truck. With its Hutchinson Military spec bead lock wheels that enable tire changes in the field, and its Kevlar belted Goodyear Wrangler 265/65 R16 tires, nothing can stop this beautiful, capable, piece of living Mercedes-Benz history embodied in the most capable off-road vehicle ever engineered and built.
This truck has only 68, 800 kilometers, or approximately 42, 600 miles on the odometer and it shows. It has been well maintained and it shows in how well the 4 wheel drive system works, how well it drives down the road, and in the fact that it has absolutely no fluid leaks and no rust. The convertible top is new and in great shape. It uses velcro, zippers, and straps for anchoring and is super easy to throw open and let in the fresh air of the great outdoors.
Low reserve, for sale to the highest bidder, so bid to win and bid with confidence, but bid only if you have the funds to close the purchase. You can see in the photos the truck is in excellent condition, with no fluid leaks and no rust in the undercarriage or on the body, and is supremely capable of off road adventuring as-is. I have installed a new 24 volt starter from Germany and went through the brakes and other systems to insure that they work perfectly. It has a brand new set of Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar belted off road tires. Plus there is an extra set of All Weather tires to go with it if you prefer something more suited to on-road driving. There is no radio installed but installing one is easy since there is a place for one in the dash and running wiring is so easy. Besides, who needs a radio when you can hear the music of that Mercedes-Benz 2.4L Diesel engine. There is no A/C either and the steering is manual, but who needs A/C when you can throw open the top and let in the fresh air and sunshine of the great out doors on your overland expedition?

“Mastodon? Aren't Mastodons the furry little extinct creatures? Say goodbye to the Mastodon and hello to the RHINO! This truck is in awesome running condition and can drive anywhere you want to go. Nothing stops a RHINO-not even time-And nothing stops a Diesel G-Wagon WOLF 240GD! This truck needs nothing and rides and drives great. It isn't fast but it's 4-wheel drive system, locking front and rear diffs, and 4 Wheel Drive LO will make you feel like you're driving a German Panzer tank. This truck is so much fun to roll up the sides on the top and take off roading through the woods and the mud because NOTHING STOPS IT! Seriously. I love this truck and you will too. If it's overland expeditions you're into put on a winch and getting ready to go anywhere you want.”
