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.

It graced countless movies and TV series, and as time passed by, slipped gracefully into iconic classic status.

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. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 184,122-mile 1972 Mercedes-Benz 450SL from Sandy, Utah for sale today. Its mileage is proof that not only is this a car that can eat up long distances, but it’s also one that encourages you to drive it more and more.

Introduced in 2014, the AMG GT is now in its second generation of production. It’s a fearsome two-door fastback coupe with a twin-turbo V8 under its hood. Hence, it makes for a fine car to drive regularly, and we have a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 for sale right now.

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 R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
Formerly called the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, the GLE represents the midsize sport utility offering from Mercedes-Benz, and has done so since 1997. Then, it was called the ML-Class and rode on a traditional, body on frame configuration. However, since 2005 and the second generation, a unibody construction was adopted, and the M-Class became more road-oriented. The GLE name came in 2015 when the third generation was facelifted, and basically alludes to the model being the SUV equivalent of an E-Class. Today, what we have is a fourth-generation example from the house of Mercedes-AMG. This 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE53 has traveled just over 27,000 miles and comes with a twin-turbo straight six under the hood. It’s also got 4MATIC all-wheel drive and the usual Mercedes-Benz refinements to enjoy, in its quest to be your next family vehicle. If you’d like to answer its call, let us know.

Pontiac has always been a somewhat performance-oriented brand, even in dark times like the Malaise Era. Their Firebird muscle/pony car was severely strangled due to this dark time, but Pontiac cheerfully changed direction. Of course they kept the Firebird, but introduced something else too. This was the Fiero, made between 1984 and 1988. Unlike most other Pontiacs, the Fiero was a compact two-door sports car with a mid-mounted engine, composite body panels and an economical outlook. In subsequent times, Fieros found an unlikely purpose as the base of many faux Ferrari transformations. Thankfully, stock examples do remain, like this West Palm Beach-located 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT. It’s up for sale with under 69,000 miles on the clock, a 2.8-liter V6 in the rear, and an automatic gearbox. Contact us if you’d like to make it your own.
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
