In 1971, Mercedes Benz decided to add a little spice into their mostly well-tamed line of cars. They introduced the R107 and C107, a series of sports cars with a German flavor that focused on capturing the American market. It was the right move. The SL became the second-longest single series ever produced after the G-Class. The R107, like the one featured here, was Mercs only roadster during its time in production and is a two-seater with a detachable roof that's been spotted in Philadelphia, with just a smear over 80k miles on the road.
Exterior and Interior
This 1979 Mercedez-Benz 450SL Roadster is reported to be all-original. Recently refreshed, this car features a red exterior paint job that immediately makes this car recognizable. Featuring aggressive bumpers, long front doors that are, of course, a trademark feature of a roadster, and the iconic detachable roof — our subject car includes both the hardtop and soft top. Mercedes calls it Palomino leather, which is precisely what will surround you after stepping into this classic 450SL. The cabin is adorned with a beautiful wooden varnish trim along the center console. Everything from the doormats to the headliner blends in with the rest of the interior, with the exception of the contrasting but complimenting black leather steering wheel and gear knob.
Engine
This garage-kept German sports car carries a front-mounted 4.5L V8 that is said to produce up to 230hp at 5000rpm and 337 Nm of torque at 3000rpm to the rear wheels. Power is delivered via a 3-speed automatic transmission.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL represents the beginning of the iconic R107 generation, a platform that would go on to define luxury roadsters for nearly two decades. Showing 27,315 miles, this example stands out with its striking Signal Red finish and classic Bamboo interior—an unmistakably period-correct combination. Known for its durability, smooth V8 power, and timeless styling, the 450 SL quickly became a symbol of success and refined motoring in the 1970s. With both a removable hardtop and a soft top, it offers year-round usability, making it as practical as it is collectible.
Now here’s a classic car that’s perfectly representative of what the cream of the crop were driving around in the Seventies and Eighties. This 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is part of the R107 series of the popular SL-Class from Mercedes-Benz. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 became a firm favorite with those who could afford it and demanded signature Mercedes-Benz luxury in a two-door, grand-tourer body. It posed significant threats to models from established American luxury automakers as a result. Of the over 300,000 examples made, over two thirds came to North America! Yes, the R107 was immensely popular, which is why you should seriously check out this Jacksonville-based car. And if you need more convincing, it’s got a super low 28,507 miles on the clock!
In 1971, Mercedes-Benz revealed the R107 generation of their popular SL-Class luxury grand tourer. It took over from the W113 ‘Pagoda’ which defined Sixties Mercedes-Benz two-door cars in Europe and North America. The R107 brought new design, updated engineering, and a removable hardtop as key features. It would be made until 1989, with 300,175 units produced during this time. Interestingly, over 204,000 of those units came to the United States, representing a 68% share of total production! Now, you can still find many of these cars running happily, because they were built during a time when planned obsolescence wasn’t even conceived of. That’s why they are the perfect starter classic, even for a younger person. Today’s 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes from Boulder and has a low 31,000 miles on the clock. With its 4.5-liter fuel-injected V8 and 3-speed automatic gearbox it’s already ticking the right boxes for a classic car. Add the Becker Mexico cassette stereo into the mix, and you’ve got a winner!
Mercedes-Benz ushered in a new era of luxury roadsters with the R230-generation SL-Class, combining cutting-edge technology, elegant styling, and effortless V8 performance in a package that remains highly desirable today. This 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 shows just 41,462 miles and is finished in timeless Black over a Charcoal leather interior. Equipped with a long list of premium factory options including the AMG Sport Package, Comfort Package, Distronic adaptive cruise control, ABC suspension, and Keyless-Go, this SL 500 was specified with many of the model’s most sought-after features. Adding to its presence are aftermarket wheels and a Brabus-style body kit, giving this luxury grand tourer a more aggressive appearance while maintaining the refinement that made the SL-Class a benchmark in its segment.
The W124-generation Mercedes-Benz Cabriolet remains one of the most respected luxury convertibles of the 1990s, representing an era when Mercedes-Benz prioritized engineering excellence above all else. Built in comparatively limited numbers and assembled with remarkable attention to detail, these elegant four-seat convertibles have become increasingly collectible among enthusiasts. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz E 320 Cabriolet shows just 52,971 miles and is finished in timeless Moonstone Grey Metallic over a Parchment interior. Powered by Mercedes-Benz’s legendary M104 inline-six engine and equipped with desirable features such as memory seats, automatic climate control, and a power-operated soft top, this E 320 offers a refined open-air driving experience that remains impressive three decades later.
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe was created to prove that a high-performance luxury sedan could deliver the excitement of a sports car without sacrificing everyday usability. Blending AMG’s racing heritage with premium accommodations for four adults, the GT 63 S quickly established itself as one of the most capable grand touring sedans on the market. This 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door Coupe shows approximately 36,317 miles and is finished in timeless Polar White over a Black Perforated Nappa Leather interior. Equipped with AMG’s handcrafted twin-turbocharged V8, 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, and a host of comfort and technology features including massage seats, a head-up display, heated rear seats, and the AMG Night Package, this example offers an ideal balance of performance, luxury, and year-round usability. Whether tackling a cross-country road trip or a spirited backroad drive, the GT 63 S remains one of the most versatile vehicles ever to wear an AMG badge.
