1997 Mercedes-Benz G320 Cabriolet

Few vehicles combine open-air luxury and rugged capability quite like this 1997 Mercedes-Benz G320 Cabriolet. Recently imported and refinished in its original designo Bordeaux over Black leather upholstery, this distinctive example features a new OEM convertible roof with a custom two-part targa configuration and all new soft-top windows. Model-year 2018 OEM exterior updates give the SUV a contemporary appearance with an AMG front bumper and badging, wide fenders, mirrors, clear side markers, turn signals, and 20-inch twin-spoke AMG wheels, while retaining the unmistakable upright profile and hardcover swing-away spare tire carrier of the classic G-Wagen.

Under the hood is Mercedes-Benz's 3.2-liter M104 inline-six mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Its formidable four-wheel-drive system incorporates a dual-range transfer case and three locking differentials, paired here with a rear tow hitch for versatile utility. The cabin pairs quintessential G-Class construction with welcome amenities including Black leather upholstery, burl wood trim, power windows, power-adjustable heated front seats, cruise control, climate control, and a locking glove box. An updated OEM steering wheel and new VDO Continental stereo with Bluetooth provide modern connectivity.

Records from current ownership accompany the vehicle, with a major service completed in preparation for sale in June 2026. The air-conditioning system has also been fully overhauled. Included with the sale are two keys, factory literature, a rear convertible-top boot, tool kit, charcoal front floor mats, and a new battery charger—rounding out this well-kept example of Mercedes-Benz's short-wheelbase G-Class Cabriolet.
