Crafting the EMC Wolf: Merging Vintage Charm with Modern Amenities
At Expedition Motor Company, every EMC Wolf we build tells a unique story. Our vision has always been clear: to create a vintage Mercedes convertible experience that authentically captures the spirit of the original Gelandewagen while seamlessly integrating modern amenities and driving comforts. Each EMC Wolf is a refined evolution, carefully engineered and thoughtfully enhanced over more than eight years and hundreds of restorations.
Authentic Vintage Appeal Meets Modern Engineering
From the start, our philosophy has been to retain the authentic, rugged charm of the Mercedes 250GD while infusing upgrades for the modern driver. Balancing these demands required thoughtful engineering and meticulous refinement.
We offer upgraded engines such as the original beating heart of the Wolf, the OM602 diesel, the smooth OM60Xa turbodiesel, or the robust and powerful LS3 V8. Each engine can be paired with either an automatic or a manual g class transmission, catering precisely to your driving preferences.
We've also designed two proprietary suspension systems, standard and reservoir, both providing significantly improved handling and comfort over the original. Our upgraded braking systems ensure confident stopping power whether you’re cruising through your favorite beach town or navigating off-road trails in your convertible G Wagon.
Exterior Options: Tailoring the Custom G Class to You
Every detail counts when crafting your ideal EMC Wolf. We offer an extensive palette of exterior colors from vintage hues to contemporary metallics. The classic silhouette of the 2 door G Wagon can be further refined with customizable options such as wheel designs, vintage black accents, and brake caliper finishes, allowing your G Class custom build to truly reflect your tastes.
Additional options include an EMC Snorkel Kit, EMC Bullbar, a Warn Winch, Headlamp Guards, Indicator Guards, and a rear Jerry Can. These tailored features ensure your custom G Wagon is uniquely prepared for your use case.
Interior Craftsmanship: Vintage Mercedes Convertible Comforts
Inside each EMC Wolf, we have retained the vintage appeal while infusing modern amenities with our redesigned interior. Clients can select from 35+ interior colors, available in single or two-tone combinations, complemented by meticulously detailed stitching. The modern creature comforts are discreetly integrated to preserve the vintage aesthetics while enhancing usability. Features such as air conditioning, heated seats, premium Harman audio systems, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and comprehensive soundproofing elevate comfort without overshadowing the authentic feel of a classic Gelandewagen.
Personalized Touches and Practical Accessories
Further tailoring each EMC Wolf, clients can select from thoughtfully curated exterior options. All builds come with two types of soft tops as well as a third available for purchase.
- Full Soft Top: provides full coverage with the option to roll the sides up "safari style"
- Bikini Soft Top: coverage for the front driver and passenger seats with the rear of the vehicle fully open
- Full-Length Bimini Top: full coverage on the top of the vehicle with the sides completely open
All soft tops are available in four colors including Black, Tan, Navy, and Maroon.
An Evolving Legacy: The EMC Difference
Every G Wagon that rolls out of our shop is an evolution informed by precision engineering, research and development, and an unwavering passion for the iconic Mercedes G Class. Our commitment has always been to respect the past while thoughtfully engineering for the future. The result: vehicles that capture the spirit and legacy of the vintage Mercedes G Wagon, yet offer modern reliability, comfort, and performance.
