Expedition Motor Company restores vintage Mercedes-Benz G-Wagens - Business Insider

"With the top on it's a little inconspicuous, but when the top is off it's a completely different environment," Levin said. "In the summertime people are just so drawn to it. There goes a convertible SUV and it's a Mercedes and a G-Wagen."EMC specializes in one specific G-Wagen: the 250 GD Wolf.Each vehicle takes nearly 1,100 hours to restore, according to Levin.

Afterwards, the truck is stripped down to just its frame before it is thoroughly cleaned via water blasting and sanding.After the cleaning process, an anti-corrosive substance and primer are applied before the vehicle is painted.By disassembling the truck, the EMC team can ensure that they have examined every part of the vehicle.The team then disassembles the transmission and engine. Both are rebuilt.

This would allow the company to know which customer is buying which vehicle, and when the purchase would be happening, thus taking out some of the guesswork EMC has to do with builds right now.EMC currently has about 120 unrestored G-Wagens still stored in Europe.Brittany Chang/Business InsiderBrittany Chang/Business Insider

Most of the vehicles end up being sold to customers in the northeast region of the US, Florida, and Texas.Brittany Chang/Business Insider“You take it out on the sand and go fishing, dogs are in the car, it's utilitarian and fun and sexy at the same time,” Levin said about his vehicles.Levin claims that most first-time drivers of his restored G-Wagens are surprised by the vehicle’s steering capabilities.“It's responsive for a 25-30-year-old vehicle,” Levin said.
