Everyone knows about the Mercedes-Benz R107-era SL-Class that is one of the most definitive classics you can get your hands on. But did you know that there was also a C107 variant, with a fixed hardtop and a notably different upper body design? That’s what we’ve got here with this sleek white 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC from Beverly Hills, California. This car sports a lovely four-seat tan interior, a 4.5-liter V8 under its hood, and has covered a decent 165,000 miles. That tells us that it’s not a garage queen, but a cruiser, meant for devouring hundreds of miles of open road.
Exterior and Interior
This 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC wears a sleek white coat, and if you look below its beltline, the shape is very similar to the R107 SL. But there are some notable differences which become apparent if you park a C107 next to a R107. For example, the C107’s wheelbase is approximately 15 inches longer, and the car as a whole is around 16 inches longer. That means it’s more spacious on the inside, without looking ungainly from the outside. In fact, the C107’s longer stance enables it to have a longer roof, rear windows and even some stylish chrome slats ahead of the C-pillar. Dual headlamps and classic Merc wheels cap off this car’s exterior package. The tan interior of this 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC is a full four-seat affair with rich leather upholstery and fine wood trim on the dashboard and center console. Unlike the shorter SL, which either offered two tiny seats or a padded luggage area behind the front seats, the SLC has a proper rear bench seat. This example comes with air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows. It also has a newer Kenwood radio with Bluetooth and USB inputs.
Engine
This 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC packs a 4.5-liter V8 under its long hood. The unit uses Bosch Jetronic fuel injection and is reportedly rated for around 190 horsepower.

One of the most successful classic Mercedes-Benz models in North America has got to be the R107 generation of the SL-Class grand tourer. During its lengthy production run that spanned 1971 to 1989, the model underwent countless upgrades and enhancements. Notably, 68% of all SL production was sold in the United States. Plus, the car was a Hollywood darling, becoming the favored wheels of the stars at the time, as well as starring in several movies and TV series. Today, we’ve got a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC for sale, so you can enjoy that star-studded lifestyle if you desire. This Colorado-based car comes with under 105,000 miles to its name, showing that it’s a car that’s pleasurable to drive. However, it’s also built with a solidarity that’s all but absent from most modern cars, meaning that if you continue to maintain it meticulously, you can easily triple that mileage.
Lots of power, a lightweight chassis, and timeless style - that’s the magic of the Mercedes-Benz SL (Super Licht) tag. Starting with the legendary 300SL “Gullwing” and roadster, this 1974 450SLC Mercedes-Benz marked the third-generation of the iconic SL lineup. It was considerably expensive compared to its competition at the time, but the few who could afford a SL knew they were getting a superbly-built, designed and German engineered automobile, as well as one of the safest cars ever made in the ‘70s. A total of 237,000 SL’s were built but only 62,000 SLC’s were reportedly made making this 1974 Mercedes-Benz a rare car to own, especially in this condition. It was the SLC that Mercedes chose for their rally car, and surprisingly as a sumptuous personal coupe, it finished second of the 1979 WRC Drivers Championship in the hands of Hannu Mikkola. Carrying the legacy of the SLs, the current owner has taken good care of the car, reportedly keeping most of this Mercedes-Benz SLC to OEM condition, with a mere 52,000 miles clocked on the odometer.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL captures the elegant grand-touring character that made the R107 one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring roadsters. Showing approximately 112,669 miles, this European-specification example pairs its 2.8L naturally aspirated M110 inline-six with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Champagne Metallic over a Brazil leather interior, it also features both a brown convertible soft top and a removable body-colored hardtop, giving it genuine year-round versatility. European-market headlights and bumpers, classic 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels, and period-correct cabin details give this 280 SL the unmistakable look and feel of an early-1980s Mercedes roadster.
The Mercedes-Benz W113 SL is one of those designs that needs very little introduction, and the 230 SL is where the celebrated “Pagoda” story began. This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Roadster shows approximately 28,430 miles and combines elegant open-top styling with the mechanical character enthusiasts expect from an early W113: a fuel-injected 2.3L inline-six, 4-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and fully independent suspension. Finished in dark blue over a tan interior with a white convertible soft top, it has the classic proportions, restrained chrome detailing, and driver-focused simplicity that make these cars so enduring. Upgraded Focal speakers add a subtle modern touch without taking away from the car’s unmistakably period atmosphere.
The 1968 Lincoln Continental Coupe is one of those cars that defines its era the moment it rolls into view. Showing approximately 27,499 miles, this example combines the imposing proportions and formal styling of Lincoln’s flagship coupe with the effortless character of a 460ci V8 and 3-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Maroon with a Beige vinyl roof over a Dark Red leather interior, it delivers the kind of rich color combination and visual presence that made late-1960s American luxury cars so distinctive. Power accessories, air conditioning, hidden headlamps, whitewall tires, and full wheel covers complete the experience, making this Continental an appealing choice for anyone drawn to big-body American luxury with unmistakable period character.
The 1978 MG MGB Sebring Roadster captures the charm of classic British open-top motoring while adding a number of upgrades that give it a more distinctive personality. Showing approximately 49,978 miles, this example is finished in striking “Pull Me Over Red” over a Honey Tan vinyl interior and features a tan canvas convertible soft top for the full roadster experience. The Sebring bumper delete kit gives the car a cleaner, more aggressive appearance, while 15-inch wire wheels, LED headlights, and a chrome grille preserve the vintage character. Under the hood, the 1.8L inline-four is paired with a Weber 2-barrel carburetor, aftermarket intake, and 4-speed manual transmission, creating the kind of lightweight, analog driving experience that has kept the MGB popular with enthusiasts for decades.
The 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 represents Ford’s full-size American sedan formula at its peak, combining substantial road presence, straightforward V8 power, and the relaxed cruising character that defined the era. This four-door example shows approximately 84,645 miles and pairs its classic Galaxie styling with several useful upgrades, including an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, aluminum radiator, aftermarket exhaust system, and Bluetooth-capable audio. Finished in Meadowlark Yellow with an Olive interior, it offers a distinctive period color combination along with practical equipment such as air conditioning and power steering. Its blend of originality and select updates gives it strong appeal as a usable classic cruiser.
