The Geländewagen has always struck a fine balance between luxury and ruggedness. Its utilitarian nature initially kept the G-wagen from the U.S. market for fear that its practical nature conflicted with America's view of Mercedes-Benz as an elite luxury brand. Yet, the magnetic pull of the G-Class was so strong that they began to trickle into the country via import in the late 1990s before it officially launched in 2002.

This 2001 Mercedes-Benz G 320 Cabriolet was imported new into the United States just one year before the G-wagen officially landed on U.S. shores. Even in subsequent years, Mercedes never offered the two-door G-wagen in America, making this example exceptionally rare stateside. The G 320 is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic with Grey leather interior, and features Walnut trim accents on the steering wheel, center console, and gear shift lever. It features an electric folding top, power front seats, factory navigation and entertainment system, rear tire cover, 18-inch alloy wheels, front brush guard with lamp guards and running boards. Denoted by its naming convention, the G 320 sports a 3.2-liter inline-six and a five-speed automatic transmission.

The CARFAX Vehicle History Report records that the vehicle was first registered in Georgia in 2003. It resided in the Southern states until a California-based enthusiast purchased it in 2016. The G 320 received regular maintenance at Village Automotive Repair in Santa Barbara, who installed a battery charger and replaced the gas pedal, pedal position sensor, and front shock absorbers. In 2018, the rare AMG was acquired by Stu Carpenter, founder of classic luxury car dealer Copley Motorcars with it later changing hands to an owner in Florida in 2020. The car was inspected and serviced in July 2024 by esteemed Mercedes expert Wolfgang Ritter in New Jersey. Ritter's thorough servicing included refreshing the driveshaft and replacing front suspension components, a steering shock, and fluids and filters. Carpenter reacquired the G 320 in 2025, returning it briefly to the Copley collection. Offered now with approximately 38,700 miles, this tastefully specified two-door convertible G-Wagen is a coveted example among Geländewagen circles and remains a rare sight on U.S. roads.
