The Mercedes-Benz SL nameplate is a legendary one, as it was born in 1954 with the glorious 300SL Gullwing. The first generation, including the Gullwing ran from 1954 to 1963 before the second generation took over in 1963, running until 1971. The third generation R107 would see a twelve-year production run, from 1971 until 1989, which is where this lovely 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL belongs. A South Carolina car, it’s seen a healthy 175,108 miles, and comes with the Assembly Line Manual included in the sale, as well as the Mercedes-Benz High Mileage Award and Certification. With the right maintenance, which this car appears to have had, high mileage is nothing, so why not take a chance on this beautiful Sunset Boulevard cruiser?
The R107 brought upon a timeless design that looks striking to this day, especially more so with this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL that wears an eye-catching yellow paintjob and rolls on those iconic Mercedes-Benz Seventies wheels with color-matched center caps on this particular example. The soft top is reportedly functional, and the hard top is included in the sale too. This example also wears the mandated North American headlamps and bumpers, which some enthusiasts choose to replace with the European units, so the choice is yours should you desire to do so post-purchase. The interior wears a tan color scheme and offers plush leather seating for the occupants. These are the days when interior gadgets and gizmos were far and few, and people were encouraged to talk to each other rather than interact with complex infotainment systems. Nevertheless, this car has climate control with a new compressor reported, as well as a Blaupunkt radio cassette player.
The third-generation SL was offered with a choice of several six and eight cylinder engines, and as the name would suggest, this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL is moved by a 4.5L V8 with single overhead cams and Bosch fuel injection. The power and torque outputs were rated when new at 190hp and 240lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission, which ensures that this boulevard cruiser should move in an appropriately stately fashion. Braking is via all-round power-assisted disc brakes, and steering is a recirculating ball arrangement.

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!
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.
Performance that is subtle is the right type of smiles per gallon. When you are loud and brash, one does expect the performance to back it all up, but if you choose to fly under the radar and still sting when heavy on the gas pedal, smiles per gallon quickly ensue. The S Class has been this silent warrior of performance; it doesn't stop there, as it is also the golden standard of Mercedes luxury as well. Present today is a fine example from the S class family and takes shape with this 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550. With a reported 65,000 miles on its clock, this clean example hails from Canyon Lake, is reported to come with two keys, Texas, and is ready to be the perfect way of getting about in luxury, style and performance.
