In the late Sixties, Mercedes-Benz knew that it was time to replace their iconic W114 line-up of grand touring coupes. Development started on a successor, and by 1971, the R107 and C107 generation was released. It bore the name SL, and in the case of the R107, came with a removable hardtop plus a soft top. Meanwhile, the C107 was a fixed-head coupe. The R107 in particular would prove to be a massive success. In total, over 237,000 R107 variants were made between 1971 and 1989. Today, an R107 represents a sound and safe way to get into classic cars, as it’s built tough and can keep going on and on when properly maintained. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 184,122-mile 1972 Mercedes-Benz 450SL from Sandy, Utah for sale today. Its mileage is proof that not only is this a car that can eat up long distances, but it’s also one that encourages you to drive it more and more.
Exterior and Interior
This 1972 Mercedes-Benz 450SL sports a silver paint job, and since it’s a North American market car, comes with features such as elongated safety bumpers and twin sealed beam headlamps per side. It’s got a dark blue convertible soft top, and we also see that the color matched hardtop is present too. This is great, since you’re basically getting two cars in one stylish package. The interior of this 1972 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes in black, and, unusually for a North American market car, includes the small rear seat bench as well, which was typically the preserve of European market cars. The car’s interior shows signs of wear, which is to be expected given its mileage, but nothing appears torn or broken. You’ve also got a nice Pioneer radio with cassette tape player that’s a time capsule and a delight to classic audio gear aficionados. The car seems to have air conditioning, too. Behind the passenger cabin lies a decent-sized trunk despite the need for space to stow the car’s canvas soft top.
Engine
Under the hood sits Mercedes-Benz’s M117 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V8, equipped with Bosch D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection—an advanced system for its time. This V8 delivers smooth, torque-rich power rather than high-rev theatrics, perfectly suited to the 450 SL’s grand touring mission. Power is routed through a 3-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels, providing relaxed acceleration and effortless cruising. The engine bay retains a factory-correct layout, highlighting the mechanical honesty and overbuilt nature that defined Mercedes-Benz engineering in the 1970s. This powertrain combination helped establish the 450 SL as a benchmark for luxury convertibles and remains a key reason why early R107 models continue to be so well regarded today.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL represents the beginning of the iconic R107 generation, a platform that would go on to define luxury roadsters for nearly two decades. Showing 27,315 miles, this example stands out with its striking Signal Red finish and classic Bamboo interior—an unmistakably period-correct combination. Known for its durability, smooth V8 power, and timeless styling, the 450 SL quickly became a symbol of success and refined motoring in the 1970s. With both a removable hardtop and a soft top, it offers year-round usability, making it as practical as it is collectible.
Now here’s a classic car that’s perfectly representative of what the cream of the crop were driving around in the Seventies and Eighties. This 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is part of the R107 series of the popular SL-Class from Mercedes-Benz. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 became a firm favorite with those who could afford it and demanded signature Mercedes-Benz luxury in a two-door, grand-tourer body. It posed significant threats to models from established American luxury automakers as a result. Of the over 300,000 examples made, over two thirds came to North America! Yes, the R107 was immensely popular, which is why you should seriously check out this Jacksonville-based car. And if you need more convincing, it’s got a super low 28,507 miles on the clock!
In 1971, Mercedes-Benz revealed the R107 generation of their popular SL-Class luxury grand tourer. It took over from the W113 ‘Pagoda’ which defined Sixties Mercedes-Benz two-door cars in Europe and North America. The R107 brought new design, updated engineering, and a removable hardtop as key features. It would be made until 1989, with 300,175 units produced during this time. Interestingly, over 204,000 of those units came to the United States, representing a 68% share of total production! Now, you can still find many of these cars running happily, because they were built during a time when planned obsolescence wasn’t even conceived of. That’s why they are the perfect starter classic, even for a younger person. Today’s 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes from Boulder and has a low 31,000 miles on the clock. With its 4.5-liter fuel-injected V8 and 3-speed automatic gearbox it’s already ticking the right boxes for a classic car. Add the Becker Mexico cassette stereo into the mix, and you’ve got a winner!

The 1972 Porsche 911 T Coupe represents one of the most unique and collectible variants of the long-hood 911 lineage. As part of Porsche’s F-Series generation, the 911 T combined lightweight driving dynamics with the company’s proven air-cooled flat-six formula. The 1972 model year is especially significant because it was the only year Porsche fitted the now-famous external oil filler door, known by enthusiasts as the “Ölklappe.” Designed to improve weight distribution by relocating the oil tank ahead of the rear axle, this feature has become one of the most recognizable identifiers of a genuine 1972 911. This example is finished in attractive Albert Blue over a tan interior and shows approximately 76,346 miles.
