Mercedes-Benz is renowned for imbuing luxury and elegance in their automobiles for decades. The Sixties saw them introduce the W108 and W109 models. With a production cycle of seven years, they produced over 380,000 of the cars. Our subject vehicle is one of these, a 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280S with 88,000 original miles on the clock is up for sale and comes from sunny California.
This reportedly all-original 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280S is bedecked in a luxurious and soothing cream color with a complimentary brown interior. Like any aristocrat, the 280S wears a set of OEM Mercedes-Benz wheels with body colored hub caps and draped in a set of white walled tires. Regarded by many as an iconic car, the W108 and W109 exuded elegance and offered reliability for every penny, or cent spent. The front of the car features a dual vertical light with the traditional Mercedes upright grill is instantly recognizable. Compared to its predecessor the 280S loses the “fin tails” for rounded corners and smooth lines. The interior features leather seats in brown with seatbelts and magnificent wood trim. The rear-view mirror holds a pair of fuzzy dice reportedly from 1969. Power windows are also in functioning condition. Behind the massive but elegant steering wheel sits the temperature, fuel gauge and oil in one cluster, whilst the other cluster features the speedometer and a middle smaller one housing the analog clock. The center dash features the 280S logo along with the defrost control and the air conditioner controls. The glove compartment still bears the Mercedes-Benz roadside assistance sticker.
The 280S is not only about the looks, but it was also available with an in-line six or V8 engine. This 280S, is powered by the 2.8L I6 which produced 138 hp of power with a top speed of 115 mph whilst mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission which powers the rear wheels. The engine is fed by dual carburetors. Ensuring a smooth ride are double wishbones, coil springs and a torsion bar stabilizer at the front. A unique feature of the 280S during its time is the hydro-pneumatic compensation spring located above the rear axle, which automatically adjusted the cars level based on the weight and speed.

Mercedes-Benz has a fine array of grand tourers, but if you want a true-blue sports car with a star on its nose, the Mercedes-AMG GT is as fine as they come. Introduced in 2014, the AMG GT is now in its second generation of production. It’s a fearsome two-door fastback coupe with a twin-turbo V8 under its hood. Hence, it makes for a fine car to drive regularly, and we have a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 for sale right now. This 3,000-mile machine comes with a 469 horsepower 4.0-liter V8, an AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed automatic gearbox, all-wheel drive and a host of tech features. It’s currenrly available in Dallas.
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.
