The pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz ownership during the '70s and '80s, the R107 and C107 series of the SL-Class marked the top step of the Star’s hierarchy of luxury cars. These two-door roadsters were available in two-seat form for North America and four-seat form for Europe. Produced between 1971 and 1989, the R107 received plenty of updates during its life, helping keep it fresh and desirable. Anybody who was somebody — and could afford one — drove one. Now, the R107 is a well-respected classic, and one that’s still in significant demand. So, we’ve got a 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible with a reported 51,000 original miles that you really shouldn’t miss out on if an R107 is on your radar. The current owner says that the car’s received a recent oil change, too.
Wearing a lovely shade of Caramel, this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL exudes class from the moment you set eyes on it. The design is so breathtaking that even the North American-mandated elongated bumpers and sealed-beam headlamps do little to diminish its allure, unlike what they do for so many other beautiful cars. This car remains an item of head-turning capabilities, regardless of whether you’ve fitted its removable hardtop or left it at home for that iconic convertible experience. The original Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels also remain, and they themselves are a timeless design. The interior of this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL offers two seats in light brown leather, plus a padded luggage area directly behind to augment the car’s trunk. The vehicle reportedly includes factory air conditioning as well. You’ve also got an aftermarket Sony radio with a CD player, just waiting for your choice of smooth cruising tunes. Meanwhile, there’s a set of carpet floor mats with black Mercedes-Benz script on them to help keep the factory carpeting in excellent condition.
Propelling this 1977 Mercedes-Benz 450SL along its merry way is a 4.5L naturally aspirated V8, with 180hp and 220lb-ft, as per factory figures. An automatic gearbox powers the rear wheels for the ultimate cruising experience with minimal fuss and fatigue. The car features front and rear disc brakes for sure-footed stopping power. A recirculating ball power steering system is also present, making maneuvering and parking as easy as possible.

The R107-series of SL-roadsters is one of the longest-running passenger car series in Mercedes-Benz history. It became an icon of the '70s and '80s and to this date, its beauty has captivated the hearts of all classic auto enthusiasts alike. It was built as a sports car that can be used for continental touring in all weather conditions. Unlike modern vehicles, these classics are built with undeniable solidity. The R107 SL was a two-seat convertible with a detachable roof, and it replaced the W113 SL-Class in 1971. Up for sale here is a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL with 121,311 miles on its clock according to its current owner. It boasts a few new components to ensure it runs efficiently. It awaits its new owner in California.
If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
When you think of legendary motors, one might think of the legendary R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL. Turn back the clock to the 70s and the birth of what would be Mercedes-Benz second longest running model would take the world by storm and become a classic that's demanded by enthusiasts worldwide. With an almost two decade run and many examples made, finding a clean 70s Mercedes-Benz SL is surprisingly tough to come by. Let's cut out the hunt and present you with this lovely 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL we have today. With a reported 83,900 miles on the clock, this German classic is a clean example ready to take your weekend drives and driveway game up a level.
This 2008 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded by its current owner. Acquired in 2015 with 13,000 miles at the time, it now has approximately 15,000 miles, reflecting minimal use and careful storage.
Mercedes-Benz’s G-Class is well-known as a tough and fierce off-roader that’s now become a sort of S-Class for off-roading in terms of comfort, tech, and luxury features. This wasn’t always the case, so let’s wind back the clock to the time when the G-Class was just entering the luxury space. This was the time when the W463 generation was entering the market, around 1990. These G-Classes are special because they’ve got a great blend of capability and luxury without over-complicating things with myriad digital screens, touch panels and fingerprint readers. Case in point, this 2000 Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet. With 82,500 miles on the clock and a two-door drop-top body style, this could be your daily driver and your weekend toy, all rolled into one. Oh, and it’s got a V8 under the hood; need we say more?
Being a manufacturer and making a statement in the ʼ80s was a tough task, as the automotive world was on full blast with cars making the move to more tech and a change in design to suit a massive shift in customer tastes and preferences. Mercedes-Benz in the 80s was peak German automotive and the secret to its success? Staying true to who they are and giving the world true luxury and superior engineering over marketing gimmicks. Present today is this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL, this German classic is a love letter to luxury cruising in style and has just a reported 140,316 miles on its clock.
Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
What do you get when you imbue an Eighties car with Twenties (no not Twenty Twenties, but Nineteen Twenties) styling? That’s precisely what Excalibur aimed to do. This Milwaukee-based outfit was the work of Clifford Brooks Stevens, who initially designed the cars for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to create them by himself. Sadly, the project wasn’t as successful as all involved would have expected, and after several failures, Excalibur folded in 1990. Of course, that hasn’t stopped others from creating replicas, such as this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. Built on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS chassis, this 17,688-mile automobile awaits its new owner in Williston, Vermont. It is often said that imitation is the best form of flattery, so the fact that someone built a replica of the Excalibur means that the car is worth checking out. If you’re the kind of person who lusts after the quirky and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what many consider a ‘classic’ or ‘modern classic’, why not buy this car and become its custodian?
The Chevy Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie’s contender in the compact car space between 1962 and 1979. It was quite a departure from Chevy’s other offerings that included full-size and midsize cars, plus sports, muscle and pony cars. Nevertheless, the Nova was a best-seller throughout much of the Sixties, since it represented affordable motoring for the masses who didn’t want a land yacht of epic proportions and eye-watering price. Now, the Nova is a great classic car, as well as a fine restomod platform. This particular 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is a great example of the latter category, as it’s undergone a full restoration and has just 400 miles on its stonking new motor.
