The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is widely regarded as the finest luxury grand tourer available from Mercedes-Benz. While the S-Class may be sportier and most AMG models may be quicker, the SL is a car that makes driving hundreds of miles seem like the proverbial walk in the park. In fact, the more you drive it, the more you want to keep going. The R107 generation was produced between 1971 and 1989. Designed by Joseph Gallindorfer and Friedrich Geiger, the R107 saw over 300,000 units built. It also received many updates and changes, sometimes on a yearly basis. Today’s 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL has less than 22,000 miles reported to its name, and hails from Palm Coast, Florida. Hence, it’s a lovely addition to a discerning classic car collection, or the best way to start one. Read on to discover what this car offers.
This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL’s most defining feature is its hardtop convertible nature. Yes, you’ve got a removable hard top in the same shade of light blue as the rest of the car so that you can enjoy it as a coupe during winter and a convertible in the summer months. Plus, this car comes with the arguably sleeker European-style headlamps and front bumper than the units that North American-market cars typically bore, due to regulations at the time. A stylish set of classic Mercedes-Benz chrome wheels rounds off an extremely attractive exterior package. The dark blue interior of this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL can seat two adults in supreme comfort and includes a padded luggage area behind the seats to augment the car’s trunk. European models will have crammed a small rear seat in this space, but we feel that a luggage area is a better use of the space. The car comes with an adjustable steering wheel, power windows, automatic climate control with air conditioning, and a classic Becker Mexico radio cassette tape player. In fact, the radio itself is a desirable item and you’ll be glad to have it; given that many R107 examples have seen upgrades done, without realizing the value of the classic Becker unit that they came with. The car also features wood accent trims on the dashboard and door cards for that extra touch of classic luxury.
This 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL has a 4.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 powering the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission. This combo makes for effortless cruising performance, while front and rear disc brakes ensure ample stopping power.

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.

If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
