Expedition Motor Company

Expedition Motor Company is a builder and seller of restored Mercedes-Benz 250GD Wolf convertibles in Frenchtown, New Jersey. It is a narrow specialty: ex-military Mercedes trucks restored into convertible G Wagons. The company is independent and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who they are

The website says the company restores ex-military Mercedes 250GD Wolf trucks into convertible G Wagons and that the restoration is done in-house. It names Alex as EMC's founder and says he returns inquiries the same day. The site does not give a founding year, so we state none.

How the business works

This is a restoration shop that sells what it builds, not a general dealer. The site offers two paths. The site has Available Builds and Past Builds pages, and it also offers bespoke builds with a build time of six to eight months. The company says its builds come with a two-year warranty and complimentary enclosed shipping, and the homepage mentions a six-month build time. These terms are the company's own; ask for the written warranty before you commit. We saw no consignment program, and no used-car trade-in service is described.

What it sells

The inventory pages cover 250GD Wolf builds, with a separate Past Builds page. ClassicCars.com showed two vehicles for the company in early October. Prices were not visible in the text we read, so request a quote. Because each truck is a conversion, ask what is original and what is new, including the engine, transmission (the site has an automatic and manual filter) and any modern comfort upgrades. The article how to buy a classic car lists the paperwork and inspection steps worth taking for a build like this.

Buying one

The site advertises a six-month build time and complimentary enclosed shipping. None of those terms is published in contract form, so get the price, warranty coverage and delivery date in writing, and consider an independent inspection on delivery.
