EMC is fairly open to customer feedback, so long as it doesn’t interfere with the two-door, original engine, soft-top formula. For example, these Wolf G-Wagens all came with a four-speed manual transmission with a crawler gear, but a request from a disabled veteran prompted EMC to offer a five-speed automatic. This transmission adds a substantial $12,500 to the price, which Levin says is purely at cost after sourcing, installing, and tuning it to his specifications.
Customers can visualize their build on EMC’s impressive online configurator, which features 20 vibrant exterior colors to choose from. “If you’d like another color, send it to us, and we can spray it on panels,” Levin says. The same applies to the interior, where customers can select from a swatch book, or EMC is happy to install any fabric you send in. The list of options is fairly short, including a winch bumper, exterior lights, an external gas canister, steps, a snorkel kit, third-row jump seats, and an automatic transmission. Buyers can also choose the interior wood color, exterior grille color (black or body color), indicator colors (clear or amber), and roof color (black, beige, or red) in ‘bikini’ style or as a full soft top.
CarBuzz had a chance to sample two builds, a White Wolf with Mushroom Vinyl, and a Gulf Blue with Praline Vinyl. No matter which one we were driving, we received tons of stares, a thumbs up, and excited faces.
