Welcome to 99 AUTOMOBILE.
Mercedes G-Class 290 GD Pickup, 1988, 95 horsepower. The legendary off-road utility vehicle from Mercedes-Benz. Rare, rugged, and timeless, the 290 GD Pickup is one of the most sought-after variants of the G-Class. A workhorse built to tackle any terrain, it has become a collector’s item and is perfect for second homes.
A little history: The G-Class was introduced in 1979 through a collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Steyr-Puch, initially designed for military and off-road professionals. It quickly expanded into several body styles—station wagon, cabriolet, and pickup. The Pickup version, produced in very limited numbers, is now one of the rarest and most desirable among collectors. Over 35 years after its manufacture, its value continues to rise. It remains a German off-road icon.
Vehicle highlights include the pickup version, which is extremely rare on the market, and a 2.4L diesel engine producing 95 horsepower. It features 4-wheel drive with a transfer case and low-range gear, front and rear solid axles for off-road ruggedness, an original utility flatbed, and a steel ladder frame that is indestructible. The vehicle is known for exceptional mechanical reliability and is a highly sought-after classic car.
This vehicle is exceptional due to its limited production run, making it one of the rarest G-Class pickups. Its utility body style is difficult to find today, and its value is steadily rising on the collector’s market. Mechanical parts are available and affordable. It offers unique versatility as a collector’s item, daily driver, or off-road vehicle.
