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 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.
