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. 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.
Are you a buyer who seeks a Mercedes-Benz full-size luxury sedan, but with sporty liftback styling and an electric powertrain? That’s not what the S-Class can offer, is it.

Yes, there are buyers who want a sedan with sporty styling, top-level luxury and electric motors driving the wheels.

It’s got all-wheel drive, 516 horsepower. If you’d like to take it on, the vehicle is available in San Carlos, California.

It’s from the first generation of the SLK which was made between 1995 and 2004. The R170, which is what this era is known as, saw over 311,000 examples sold, of which just over 10% were SLK320 variants like our subject car. With its smooth six cylinder engine and low mileage of just over 20,000 miles, this Morgan Hill-based car is the perfect weekend cruiser to acquire, and will definitely become a future classic very soon. Oh, and it’s got a folding metal roof!
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
