First up, it’s a repaint. We do include those here, particularly when they appear to be well done and in an interesting or popular color. In this case, the 2000 Mercedes-Benz G500 short-wheelbase hardtop you see here is painted Porsche Irish Green.

We didn’t get this configuration in the U.S.A. As a Y2K car, this one is a just barely legal 25 years old and was promptly imported via Europa International in Santa Fe, NM. It’s powered by Mercedes’ 5.0-liter V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic box and dual-range transfer case with locking front, center and rear differentials. Further kit includes 18-inch 5-spoke AMG alloys, brush guard, sunroof, turn signal and taillight guards, running boards, rear parking sensors, a Pioneer CD head unit with Blaupunkt speakers, air conditioning, wood trim with wood-rimmed steering wheel and heated seats.

The paint appears to be recent, showing nicely in the detail shots – a mix that includes paint depth meter readings should you click through to the listing. Many elements like the wheels and brush guards have been color-matched to Irish Green. The car also has some red accents that are thematically either very yuletide or very Italian.
