Wow, this is a new one on me. It’s custom-built Mercedes-Benz G500 pickup. This teutonically tough crew cab sports widely flared fenders over 38″ Mickey Thompson tires and retains its original 5-liter, gasoline engine. Although it currently resides in the Netherlands, shipping to Baltimore is included in the price. According to the seller, the truck was registered in the United States before its conversion. Hopefully the addition of a eight-foot pick-up truck bed won’t raise too many eyebrows at customs.
Amazingly, the truck looks so right, as if it had come from the factory like any other G500 variant. It’s as if they had a cousin they never knew. Oh, Otto von Haulenstuf! Look —he’s got the family chin!
In case you’re interested in bringing this lost cousin back to America, bidding currently stands at $45,100 with an unmet reserve. The Buy It Now price is $99,000. Not bad, von Haulenstuf.
Update: Bid up to $62,100 without meeting reserve.

I’d be interested in buying this, but only if it were MORE expensive. It’s just a little too cheap for me. Plus, I’d want two of them.
I hear you. Maybe Bentley will come out with a crew-cab pickup truck. You could get a couple of those, with ostrich-skin seats and platinum-thread piping, of course.
I like that you get me.
