Classics and vintage vehicles have a certain appeal to them that the sleek modern cars of today cannot match up to. When that classic car is a Mercedes-Benz, that appeal is increased tenfold. We all know the durability and Mercedes-Benz's immaculate engineering of their vehicles has earned them a name at the top. Mercedes-Benz dates back to 1901, and during the 50s, the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was introduced. Its successor is the Mercedes-Benz W113, a two-seat roadster/coupe which was produced from 1963 to 1971. Up for grabs is a 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL with less than 4000 miles on the rebuilt engine and in excellent condition after over 50 years.
This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL comes bedecked in a regal white paint coat, reportedly the original paint. The roadster looks this good due to the owner reporting the car being garage-kept. The front features distinctive sealed beam bulb headlights, which differentiates North American models from the rest. Nestled between them is a simple grille design with a single bar dominated by the grille-width Mercedes-Benz tri-pointed star logo in chrome. Completing the front fascia is the thin chrome front bumper. The rear features a 2-piece chrome bumper with the "280SL" and tri-pointed star also in chrome. More chrome can be seen around the window, side mirrors, light bezels, etc. It sits on a set of multi-spoke chrome painted wheels with reportedly 3 of 4 original hubcaps. The brown interior is claimed to have undergone a reupholstering. Behind the 3-spoke, wood-finished Mercedes-Benz steering wheel can be seen the new white painted dashboard. The seller has added a Bluetooth-capable modern stereo from Pioneer. The car comes with a soft and hard top and a spare tire. All original manuals are reportedly included in the sale.
Classic cars inherently tend to have some mechanical issues due to their age but fear not with this 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, as the 2.8L inline-6 engine was rebuilt less than 4,000 miles ago, while the 4-speed automatic transmission was rebuilt less than 500 miles ago, as reported by the owner. The suspensions, as well as the brakes, are new, assuring you a comfortable and safe ride.
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.

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.

The first Black Series to reach the American shores and only the second of its kind ever produced was none other than the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series. Modeled after the official safety car of Formula 1 at the time and boasting heritage from the German Touring Car Championship, this iconic Black Series made its grand debut at the prestigious 2007 New York Auto Show. Transforming the standard CLK63 into a road-legal racecar, they threw the rear seats away, upgraded the suspension, and fitted larger tires and aerodynamic elements, all the while maximizing the power output of a 6.3-liter V8. Only a mere 12,766 miles on the odometer and with 700 models produced, this particular CLK63 AMG Black Series waits for you in Florida, offering one of the best driving experiences of the 2000s.

The Pontiac GTO is one of the most well-known and important muscle cars, and it helped cement the segment's popularity in the Swinging Sixties.

This 1969 Pontiac GTO Convertible is a second-generation example and has a scarcely believable 25,000 miles under its belt. Hence, it's truly a rare find and a fantastic piece of classic American automobilia for those who appreciate such cars. If that fits your profile, give us a call pronto.

Cadillac is considered one of the first automotive brands in the world. Founded in 1902 by the founder of Motor City – Detroit, Antoine de la Mothe, Cadillac, whose coat of arms is used as the brand's crest. From its inception, Cadillac's main focus has been on luxury builds, and this continued when General Motors took over the brand in 1909. One of Cadillac's memorable models is the Cadillac Fleetwood, which has its roots all the way back to 1916; while the Fleetwood is currently discontinued, it is still a much sought-after vehicle. The Fleetwood's status as a premier luxury vehicle made it aptly suitable for a myriad of uses.

The conversion has been done with excellent workmanship and is host to the original engine with 75,000 miles on the odometer.
