Since 1883 what we know today as Mercedes-Benz has been around in some form or another. The Company has managed to outlive two world wars and countless upheavals. Throughout the decades, Mercedes-Benz has produced some of the most remarkable and sought-after vehicles in the automotive industry. Shortly after World War 2, Mercedes-Benz introduced the Mercedes-Benz 170 S, a luxury car produced from 1949 to 1955, aimed at successful business owners and company directors. The S suffix stands for Sonder Model-special model, alluding to its high level of luxury and comfort. A rare chance to own a fully mechanically rebuilt 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S with just 63,000 miles on the odometer after the rebuild is at hand.
Exterior and Interior
Of the 31,197 units built, this 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S is dressed in a savvy green exterior with black-colored fender guards. The front features a single-piece chrome grille with flanking round headlights in a black casing and chrome bezels with new lightbulbs. A chrome front bumper finishes the front façade. Ridged and chrome stylings are visible on the car's sides just below the windows, while lower chrome running boards are located. A nifty design features are the front suicide doors and conventional rear doors. The rear is tame compared to the front, with only the Mercedes-Benz Star, the 170 S letterings, taillights, boot hinges and latch, and a rear bumper giving it character, all done in chrome. It sits on a set of black-painted rims with silver-painted wheels covers. Brown is the theme used for the interior and blends beautifully with the polished wood dash and trims, which the seller reports to be all original. More chrome is evident in the interior in a perfect amalgamation of the design cues. The oversized vintage 3-spoke chrome steering wheel has reportedly been remounted. The foot pedals are engraved with the Mercedes-Benz Star for added attention to detail.
Engine
Powering this majestic vintage car is a 1,767cc inline-4 gasoline engine. Mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, this 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S has 52hp power with 82.5 lb.ft of torque. The seller reports that a new radiator has been installed to keep the engine at optimal temperatures, a new starter, and a new generator. Stopping power is refreshed with the reportedly new brakes.

The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
