    Default 1981 G-Wagen camper on eBay

    Just saw this on Bring-A-Trailer...

    Needs a little work, but would make a GREAT project; it's 90% there. And only 12K miles on it!

    Mike Hiscox, you know you can't resist...

    such as ?

    If you look at the ebay seller history, a bunch of parts he/she bought are on that rig. It needs work and would require a thorough inspection.

    12k miles on an ex-military rig seems too good to be true, for one thing. Maybe 12k miles since the Europa import/conversion, since they probably installed a US speedo (and the mileages are listed as Miles, not Kilometers)?

    Besides, I didn't think Eurpoa dealt with military surplus trucks, but I could be wrong. Weren't they the 'only' importer of new G's before MB made US-spec models?

    I dunno. I can find US military vehicles being auctioned off all day long with very low miles. That didn't surprise me...

    Joaquin, what seems fishy? I thought it looked legit, but what do I know...

    I dunno; sounds like resistance is perhaps in order.

    Besides which--didn't you hear--I've reformed. Probably. (OK, maybe.)

    I like that you're thinking of me, though.

    Time to put the sidecar rig and the Big Ruckus back in, I guess. Or buy a G-Wagen.
