Feast your eyes on this impeccable G-Class by Legacy Overland

Out of all Legacy Overland projects, this Mercedes G-Class surely is one of the most impressive. When it arrived, it was coated with dust, rust and dirt. It took thousands of hours of work to restore the exterior and the cabin, but the result looks like something Mercedes just produced on its own assembly line.

For starters, the whole car was disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and protected from rust. All worn-out bits were replaced with new ones, and the result was given a stylish paint coat in Bronze Metallic with Matte Black accents. A modern body kit rounded things off with style.

20-inch AMG wheels were put into the arches, and a custom soft top was installed instead of a fixed roof. For the G-Wagon to live up to its name, it also received a bull bar, headlight meshes, a winch and a snorkel. All lights were upgraded to modern LEDs.

Legacy Overland often puts high-end engines into its restored SUVs, but the customer who ordered this one wanted to keep the stock 2.3-liter four-cylinder mill. It was still fully overhauled with modern internals, and modifications were made to the stock automatic transmission and transfer case.

There was no mention of the pricing. For a look at the pre-restoration G-Class, check out the end of the gallery here.
