Mercedes DataCard codes
Each car made by Mercedes has an individual data card that lists the model and serial number of each of its major components (axles, gearbox, transfer box, steering box, engine, etc), as well as the codes of the standard and optional equipment fitted to the car in the factory. Your MB dealer can give you a copy of the datacard if you give him the complete VIN.
To be able to decipher the actual meaning of the codes, see

This way, you'll be able to tell whether the car has been modified at any stage.
Hi,
my '82 300 gd have ABS brake system, but on the data card this is not mention, what do this mean? I'm a car mechanieker, end I tell you no way is this ABS retro fitted
so now I'm here to, this forum is nice, I keep looking on regular bases, by the way, do you no a good place where I can buy stuff for my 300 GD, specially the fenders are very expensive when ordered from a Mercedes receller (like +/- 1000.00 euro) don't you no a alternative for this fenders, same for the thick heavy PU "striping" around the car, and remember I live in Belgium

I did email you ref this J, but to publicly reiterate, this web site is incredible in the accuracy of its information, you do a great service to all G owners and no doubt will eventualy receive your Knighthood.
? how do you load a picture
A good source of parts in Benelux is G Special in Amsterdam
Theyre all in the same Mafia J. John Charles could give you a Knighthood, and as for Gib we won it fair and square in a poker game.
Have you got the data card for your car? Every new Mercedes-Benz has a Data card with it when it is delivered to the first owner. Usually it is attached to the service manual (log book). It is a very important piece of information. Only problem is, they are always in German......... So here are some translations to English.

There is ABSOLUTELY no way that your 1982 W460 300 GD was fitted with ABS for the simple reason that the ABS was only developed by Mercedes/SDP for the G-Wagen when they were designing the W463 G-Wagen.
The first G-Wagens to have been fitted with ABS were the preproduction 463 series Gs which were made around 1989 with chassis, engine and drivetrain from the 463 series but the bodywork and interior of the 460. This meant that all of them had permanent 4wd, three electro-vaccum operated diff locks and ABS.
You can see one of such prepro 463s in this link:
