1995 MERCEDES-BENZ 290GD

BODY OFF FRAME RESTORATION! OM606 TURBO DIESEL!

We are pleased to offer this extraordinary 1995 Mercedes-Benz 290GD Pickup—an authentic factory-built G-Wagon truck that has undergone a comprehensive, no-expense-spared body-off restoration and custom build. This is not just rare—it’s in a category of its own. A true one-of-one example that blends classic military-grade Mercedes engineering with modern performance and bespoke craftsmanship. Over 2,000 man hours were spent on this build and it's truly one of a kind. With a custom OM606 diesel mated to a 6 speed manual it's an absolute blast to drive. This pickup is quick!

Starting from the ground up, the truck was fully disassembled with the body removed from the frame. The chassis was sandblasted and powder coated to a better-than-new standard, with every suspension component receiving the same treatment. All mechanical systems were addressed and replaced or restored, resulting in a truck that performs as impressively as it presents. A custom suspension and upgraded braking system ensure it drives with confidence and control, whether on-road or off.

At the heart of this build lies the legendary OM606 inline-six diesel—fully rebuilt and upgraded with a modern turbocharger and intercooler setup. Known for its durability and tuning potential, the OM606 transforms this G into something truly special, delivering strong, reliable power. It’s paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, offering a level of driver engagement that is almost unheard of in the G-Wagon world.

Inside, the cabin has been completely reimagined while maintaining a purposeful, driver-focused feel. Recaro seats upholstered in rich blue leather set the tone, complemented by custom carpeting and thoughtful upgrades throughout. Modern amenities include air conditioning, an infotainment system, and a turbo boost gauge, seamlessly integrating contemporary comfort with the vehicle’s rugged character.

What makes this example even more special is its authenticity—it began life as a factory pickup and retains its original flip-down bed sides, a detail that underscores its rarity and utility. Trucks like this were produced in extremely limited numbers, and finding one restored and modified to this level is virtually unheard of.

This is not just a G-Wagon—it’s a statement. A meticulously built, expertly executed, and truly unique machine that stands alone. If you’re seeking one of the most distinctive and collectible custom builds in existence, this 290GD Pickup is it.
