Like most Mercedes-Benz cars, the timeless SL series is known for retaining its value as soon as it rolled off the showroom floor. In contrast to the mass production of most cars during its era, the number of SLs manufactured was very small. Only 23,742 units were built from 1968 through 1971, with roughly half of this figure sold in the United States, making this 280SL a rare collectible. It famously used the same double A-frame suspension proven years ago on the legendary 300 SL. This Mercedes-Benz 280SL has been kept by the second owner from 1973 to the present and is reported to have been serviced on time throughout that period. With just 119,000 miles on the clock, this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL awaits your ownership in Washington.
Dressed in a resplendent red coat of paint that has been newly applied, this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL's exterior exudes timeless elegance. The hood, door skins, and trunk lid are all made of aluminum to reduce weight, deriving its name SL from “Sehr Licht” (very light in German). Chrome accents adorn its silhouette, from the bumpers and door handles to the side mirrors and grille, accentuating the classic Mercedes-Benz SL lines. The prominent three-pointed star in its grill pays homage to the iconic 300SL too. The optional removable hardtop’s distinctive slightly concave roof, reminiscent of a pagoda, is included with a new black soft top to replace it. Step inside into the past of luxurious interiors, as this 280SL has been flawlessly restored to pristine condition. The black cabin with a white headliner harmoniously blends with the wooden trim, extending from the top of the dash to the console tray. Mercedes-Benz also included a tachometer and three-point seat belts, which were offered as standard.
Powering the 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is its original 2.8L straight-six engine, a marvel of engineering boasting Bosch mechanical fuel injection and a single overhead camshaft. Paired with the original 4-speed manual transmission, this Mercedes-Benz 280SL produced 160 horsepower and 193 lb-ft of torque when new, making it a treat to take on the twisty mountain roads. Four-wheel power disc brakes were also offered as standard in 1968 ensuring this classic luxury sports car confident stopping power.

The Mercedes-Benz SL is the German automaker's pinnacle grand tourer. Buying an SL brand-new means that you've made it in life. With a rich history dating back to 1954, every SL tells a story. This particular 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is no different. Hailing from the hallowed R107 generation, this car is a Euro model. Granted, it's got a healthy 108,640 miles on the odometer, but that's nothing for such a well-engineered car. Let's learn more about this R107 and why you should buy it.
It's commonplace for the remake of a movie, car, or song not to match the original; some things are best left the way they are. The W198 generation of Mercedes-Benz roadsters was built to perfection; it graced the pages of every automotive magazine and is a mainstay in many prestigious collections worldwide. Matching the W198 was a challenging task, but the success that was the W113 lived up to the challenge and was a love letter to classic open-top motoring. Up for sale, today is a lovely example of the W113 generation, and it looks like this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Convertible. With a reported 45,300 miles on the clock, this low mileage example is a numbers-matching vehicle and classic motoring done right.
While there are plenty of reasons to love an SUV for its practicality, they’re not always the most distinctive body style out there. However, a wagon, on the other hand, is hard to beat when it comes to offering practicality with a twist. Nowadays, the humble wagon has been somewhat forgotten by U.S. consumers, but thanks to cars such as the Mercedes Benz E450 Wagon, you can experience a stylish yet practical offering stateside. Our featured example is a 2019 Mercedes Benz E450 4MATIC, with a 3-liter V6 engine and a reported 44,000 miles. The owner also informs us that the car had undergone a recent oil change.

However, if you did want to differentiate with a dose of luxury and class, the weapon of choice would most definitely be a machine from the legendary Mercedes-Benz SL lineup. The car we have today is a true survivor, and offers an excellent way to cruise around in style. Present today is this lovely 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL500. With a reported 56,040 miles on the clock, this low-mileage German cruiser is your way of owning an early 2000s machine that still ensures smiles per gallon on the weekends.

While there have been multiple generations of the Chevrolet Camaro, the 1969 model year is one of the most loved by many. The design is timeless and inspired the 2010 revival of the model with the fifth generation. The Camaro was made in response to the success of Ford’s hit, the Mustang. Although the Blue Oval had a headstart, the first-generation Camaro was able to fine-tune the formula, using a brand new F-Body platform and a range of straight-six and V8 engines. For the 1969 model year, the Camaro featured an all-new design, with an aggressive and angular front end, wider “coke-bottle” hips, and new doors. Our featured 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a restomod with a new supercharged 376ci LSX V8 engine under the hood, as well as several upgrades. The owner reports that this Camaro has only 5,828 miles on it since the build was completed.
The '70s saw big changes for the American automotive industry; the oil crisis meant large gas guzzlers were out the door, and the American car buyer had to embrace the fuel-sipping performance showcased by imports. Prior to 1973, however, the world was filled with performance and sharp looks; today, it is an example of intense performance and good looks that stems from the golden era of muscle cars. Are you looking to get your hands on your very own example of unfiltered muscle? This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner could be the answer.
It’s not often that concept cars translate well into production. Concepts usually don’t have to bend to legislation or practicality and are therefore often left as flights of fancy, perhaps spurring a watered-down production car bearing a few minor elements. But for the Chevrolet Corvette C3, the links between it and the Mako Shark II concept car are a dead giveaway. The C3 was a departure for the Corvette line, and included a long hood, concealed headlights, and a short deck. The same silhouette set the tone for virtually every generation of ’Vette that followed. Our featured car is a 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with an exceptionally low mileage of just 25,591. The current owner even reports having documentation on hand to authenticate the car’s mileage.
