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.

In late 1995, Mercedes-Benz released a compact roadster that would become quite a highly desirable icon. The SLK, which stood for Sport Light Compact in German, featured a powered folding metal hardtop, giving owners a hardtop coupe and a full convertible in one car. Unlike models with detachable hardtops, there was no need to arrange storage for the top when detached, as it simply folded into the car when retracted. That, plus the SLK’s easy to drive dimensions meant that over 300,000 found homes in a nine-year production run. Today, we’ve got a 1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Kompressor from Newtown, Pennsylvania for sale. With less than 64,000 miles on the clock, this is a great car to buy as a weekend cruiser, as well as future classic. However, it’s still capable of being your daily driver if you prefer.
