Project Benz documents Mercedes G-Class (W463) culture without softening it: the square shape that barely changed in three decades, the AMG G63 and its twin-turbo V8, the early 300GE sixes, the diesels, and the lifted overland builds the platform invites. It is part owners' registry, part technical archive, with factory specs for every W463 variant, restoration and buyer's guides, paint codes, and wheel fitment, mapped to real cars in real garages worldwide. The cleanest Mercedes W463 builds and the reference to make sense of them, on one feed.
The W463 is the civilised G-Class, launched in 1990 with coil springs, permanent four-wheel drive and a proper interior, and built in continuous evolution ever since. Its shape barely changed for decades, which turned a military-derived workhorse into one of the most recognisable shapes on the road.
From early 300GE sixes to the AMG G63 and its twin-turbo V8, the G-Wagen spans the utilitarian and the absurd. Older W463s are now sought-after modern classics, and the platform supports everything from faithful restorations to lifted overland builds.
No W463 builds in the registry yet. If you own one, it belongs here.
