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.
Now here’s a classic car that’s perfectly representative of what the cream of the crop were driving around in the Seventies and Eighties. This 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is part of the R107 series of the popular SL-Class from Mercedes-Benz. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 became a firm favorite with those who could afford it and demanded signature Mercedes-Benz luxury in a two-door, grand-tourer body. It posed significant threats to models from established American luxury automakers as a result. Of the over 300,000 examples made, over two thirds came to North America! Yes, the R107 was immensely popular, which is why you should seriously check out this Jacksonville-based car. And if you need more convincing, it’s got a super low 28,507 miles on the clock!
In 1971, Mercedes-Benz revealed the R107 generation of their popular SL-Class luxury grand tourer. It took over from the W113 ‘Pagoda’ which defined Sixties Mercedes-Benz two-door cars in Europe and North America. The R107 brought new design, updated engineering, and a removable hardtop as key features. It would be made until 1989, with 300,175 units produced during this time. Interestingly, over 204,000 of those units came to the United States, representing a 68% share of total production! Now, you can still find many of these cars running happily, because they were built during a time when planned obsolescence wasn’t even conceived of. That’s why they are the perfect starter classic, even for a younger person. Today’s 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes from Boulder and has a low 31,000 miles on the clock. With its 4.5-liter fuel-injected V8 and 3-speed automatic gearbox it’s already ticking the right boxes for a classic car. Add the Becker Mexico cassette stereo into the mix, and you’ve got a winner!
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.
Luxury that is finely tuned over the years and made perfect is what the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is all about; it's the finest motor Mercedes-Benz can offer its clientele. Present today is what can be that refined perfection, taking shape in this 2017 Mercedes-AMG S 65 Cabriolet. Hailing from Tallahassee, Florida, and with over 38,000 miles reported on its clock, this gentle giant can be a treat for yourself and a weekend cruise done right.
Performance that is subtle is the right type of smiles per gallon. When you are loud and brash, one does expect the performance to back it all up, but if you choose to fly under the radar and still sting when heavy on the gas pedal, smiles per gallon quickly ensue. The S Class has been this silent warrior of performance; it doesn't stop there, as it is also the golden standard of Mercedes luxury as well. Present today is a fine example from the S class family and takes shape with this 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550. With a reported 65,000 miles on its clock, this clean example hails from Canyon Lake, is reported to come with two keys, Texas, and is ready to be the perfect way of getting about in luxury, style and performance.
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.
The 1963 Cadillac Coupe DeVille stands as a defining symbol of American luxury during the early 1960s, an era where size, presence, and comfort reigned supreme. With its long, flowing body lines and unmistakable Cadillac styling, this coupe delivers the kind of road presence that modern vehicles simply cannot replicate. This particular example, showing under 16,000 miles, has been thoughtfully updated to blend classic charm with modern usability. Enhancements such as upgraded air conditioning, audio, and electrical systems make it far more enjoyable to drive today, while still preserving the essence of what made Cadillac the pinnacle of luxury in its time.
The 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible is one of the most celebrated icons of the American pony car era, offering a perfect blend of style, performance, and open-top enjoyment. As one of the models that helped define Ford’s early success with the Mustang, the 1966 model year continued to refine the formula with subtle styling updates and strong engine options like the 289 V8. This particular example, showing 41,969 miles, presents in a classic and highly desirable red-on-red configuration, further enhanced by the sought-after Pony Interior trim. With its combination of vintage appeal and tasteful upgrades, this Mustang delivers an authentic yet enjoyable classic driving experience.
One of Chevy’s main pillars of the Sixties and Seventies, the Chevelle dominated the midsize segment with ease. It was one of the Bowtie’s most successful models during its 1963 to 1977 production run, and came in many body forms. Of course, petrolheads flocked towards the SS or Super Sport variant which brought many cosmetic as well as performance upgrades to the car. Now, we’ve got a finely restored 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS for grabs in Visalia, California. Sporting a black exterior and a black interior, this machine rocks a fearsome 427ci V8 under the hood, a set of black Ridler alloy wheels, and more. Also included in the sale is a Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system that’s currently not installed.
