Mercedes-Benz' S-Class has built up a hard-won reputation as the pinnacle full-size luxury sedan over a production run that has its roots in 1951. This particular 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL is one fine example, as it's reportedly been in the same family for all its life. Racking up a healthy 173,121 miles, you'd be hard-pressed to tell; that's how well it's been cared for.

If you choose to buy this car, you'll be making a very smart decision that your head, as well as your heart, will approve of.
At first glance, this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL may appear black, but it's actually wearing a very dark shade of brown. The car was reportedly repainted recently, which explains its pristine outlook. Rolling on the correct style of wheels and wearing its distinctive North American lights plus bumpers, this is a car that will only get more graceful as it ages. Time to get inside because, let's be honest, the best place about an S-Class is its cabin. This particular 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL wears a Palomino-themed cabin that can easily swallow five large adults in comfort. The current owner tells us that a new interior was recently installed, as well as electronic switch points. Gaze upon the pinnacle of luxury in 1973, and you'll find plenty of features that are commonplace nowadays but were sheer magic back then. Features such as climate control and power windows. We also spot a period-correct Becker AM/FM head unit with cassette tape control. Given the rarity and difficulty of sourcing such a head unit nowadays, it's wonderful to see one where it belongs; in the dashboard of a top-tier Mercedes-Benz product.
This 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL is powered by a 4.5L V8 that develops 190hp for US market models. The current owner reports that the engine has not been rebuilt, which is a stout testament to the reliability and longevity of Mercedes-Benz powerplants. A three-speed automatic transmission is on hand to drive the rear wheels, and it's reportedly been rebuilt. We're also told that the power steering pump has seen a rebuild, ensuring that you won't find it difficult to steer this sizable luxury car.
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.

Since 1954, Mercedes-Benz has been producing their Sonderklasse, or Special Class. This is the model that we know of as the S-Class, a model that has redefined the standards for luxury cars and has been first to market with a variety of automotive technologies that are commonplace on today’s cars. What we have here is a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL from the W116 generation, which was the first generation to bear the hallowed ‘S’ designation. Coming to you from Florida with 71,650 miles on the odometer, it’s an ideal opportunity to own a piece of Mercedes-Benz history, as well as a model from the series that was voted European Car of the Year in 1974. A total of 59,578 450 SELs were produced over an eight-year production run.
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.

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.
