Gateway Classic Cars of Charlotte is proud to present this 1995 Mercedes/Puch G 230GE, which combines authentic military character with a professionally restored presentation and thoughtfully upgraded details.
Powered by a 2.3-liter gasoline engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, this G 230GE is built for versatility. On normal roads, it operates in rear-wheel drive, while its 4WD system and differential locks provide maximum traction when the terrain gets challenging.
The Puch G 230GE was an Austrian-built military troop transporter, developed through a joint venture between Steyr-Daimler-Puch and Mercedes-Benz, and manufactured in Graz, Austria. These vehicles were used by the Austrian and Swiss Armed Forces and earned a reputation for ruggedness, simplicity, and exceptional off-road capability.
This example retains the practical military troop-transport configuration, seating two up front and six comfortably on inward-facing rear benches.
Exterior and Interior
The vehicle is finished in military green, with a professional restoration inside and out by Race City Paint & Body in Mooresville, North Carolina. It rides on 18-inch rims wrapped in BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires, with the original 14-inch wheels included.
Inside, the military utility has been elevated with a custom brown diamond-stitched leather interior accented by dark green trim. Removable diamond-stitched floor mats complement the upholstery, and the two-piece soft top allows for open-air or enclosed driving depending on conditions.

History and Restoration
Imported into the United States in 2023, the G 230GE received a complete service by the Military Maintenance Facility prior to its arrival. It then underwent a professional restoration by Race City Paint & Body in Mooresville, North Carolina.
This vehicle offers a distinctive G-Class that preserves its military origins while providing a highly finished presentation suitable for road use, off-road adventures, or collection. An uncommon opportunity to own an authentic Austrian-built Puch G 230GE with military provenance, restored cosmetics, upgraded interior appointments, and rugged 4WD hardware that made the G-Class legendary.
