The Mercedes-Benz W108 series of 1965 to 1972 is part of the hallowed S-Class lineage. Intended as the Stuttgart automaker's pinnacle offerings of the time, these four-door sedans were widely acclaimed, and over 380,000 were made during their production run. This example, a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE, is a four-door sedan with a mere 20,500 miles on the clock and has received some refreshment work to keep it in superb condition. If you'd like to see what Mercedes-Benz motoring of the Sixties and Seventies was like, this is a worthy classic car to purchase as a first-time classic or another addition to a discerning collection.
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE wears a smooth black coat that befits its Paul Bracq-penned lines, which are considered some of the most distinctive of all time. There's no mistaking a period Mercedes-Benz for anything else, really. Looking further, the twin stacked headlamps and imposing front grille of the W108 are present, as are the diminutive taillamp clusters at the rear. We're told that the front end of this car has been rebuilt. Finally, the car rolls on a set of steel wheels replete with black half hubcaps adorned by the iconic Mercedes-Benz Star. The interior of this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE is a five-seat affair with red leather seats and a wood-trimmed dashboard. The driver grips a thin-rimmed steering wheel that faces a comprehensive pack of VDO instruments, including an analog clock right at the cluster's center. Low down between the front seats lies a chrome-surrounded gear shifter, and higher up in the center console is a Becker Mexico push-button radio. We also spot what appears to be an air conditioning unit but are unsure of its functional status. Meanwhile, rear-seat passengers are treated to a first-class ride, courtesy of a plushly padded bench seat, armrests, and ashtrays. The trunk is a similarly capacious affair and hosts a full-size spare wheel and tire, too.
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE packs a 2.8L in-line 6-cylinder engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Research shows that the engine is said to produce 158hp and 177lb-ft and drives the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Moreover, the car has recirculating ball power steering, front and rear disc brakes, and independent suspension all around. The current owner reports new bolts, a new battery, new gaskets, and fresh fluids.
How does one define a classic car? Does a car's age make it a classic? Maybe it's the rarity factor? There are many ways to classify a classic car, but only a very few are recognized by all as a bonafide icon. The car we have today takes away that burning question and is a classic in every right. Present today is this lovely 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE Sedan. This luxury cruiser and German classic has a reported 11,000 miles on the clock and is the perfect way to spruce up your collection or savor a weekend drive in all its glory.

Mercedes-Benz perfected the German luxury car recipe with the S-Class, a model that’s been around since 1954, and gained the ‘S’ moniker in 1972, with the W116 being the first to carry this hallowed letter. The preceding three generations weren’t explicitly badged ‘S’, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have the pedigree, in fact, they laid the groundwork for a formula that has served Mercedes-Benz superbly to this date. What we’ve got here is a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE from New York with a healthy 107,000 miles behind it, which is reportedly an all-original car except for the tires, brakes, and windshield. Two keys are included in the sale, as are books and manuals.
Introduced in 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the result of when German luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz decides to make a tough and capable off-roader. It’s a body-on-frame vehicle, and was initially developed for military use. As time passed by, the usual luxury refinements that Mercedes-Benz is famous for tended to sneak in, with the result being that the G-Class is one of the most opulent ways to go mud-plugging. If that sounds like your kind of thing, consider purchasing this 2020 Mercedes-Benz G550 Stronger Than Time Edition. With under 20,000 miles on the clock, it’s a special 40th Anniversary celebratory edition, and comes with some AMG goodies as a result.
From Ferrari to Aston Martin, it seems that every upmarket automaker is getting into the SUV game lately. And while they all have their merits, very few of them can claim the legendary status and proven heritage of Mercedes’ G Wagon. The G Wagen, also known as the G Class, has been a stalwart in the Mercedes Benz lineup for decades. This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300GD has undergone a two-year restoration after it was imported to the States from Italy. The process has not only returned this G Class to a better than original condition, but has added a bevy of new and improved components.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has its roots from way back in 1954. Back then, it wasn’t called an S-Class; the S moniker came with the W116 generation of 1972. Produced for eight years, the W116 would be made as a four-door full-size luxury sedan. Interestingly, North America was a key market for the W116, which explains how this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan came to be here. Up for sale with 40,289 miles on the odometer, this car comes with service records, plus its original manuals. It’s also got some new mechanical components to keep it running like it should.

Catalina sounds quite exotic, doesn’t it? Well, it’s a fitting name for Pontiac’s top-of-the-line offering of the '50s and '60s. Initially seen as a trim level for the Chieftain in 1950, the Catalina became its own model line-up by 1959. The range would expand over time to cover coupes, convertibles, hardtops, sedans, and station wagons. So why not experience a slice of Catalina goodness, with this 1962 Pontiac Catalina Convertible? The car has done 75,000 miles and is for sale by its original owner.
