The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has its roots from way back in 1954. Back then, it wasn’t called an S-Class; the S moniker came with the W116 generation of 1972. Produced for eight years, the W116 would be made as a four-door full-size luxury sedan. Interestingly, North America was a key market for the W116, which explains how this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan came to be here. Up for sale with 40,289 miles on the odometer, this car comes with service records, plus its original manuals. It’s also got some new mechanical components to keep it running like it should.
Astral Silver is the color of this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan, and it’s a fantastic hue for a full-size luxury car. After all, you don’t want bright shades when you’ve got a timeless and iconic design to flaunt. The design is the work of the legendary Friedrich Geiger, who is well-known for many of Mercedes-Benz’ iconic '70s models. As a North American market car, you’ll note its sealed-beam headlamps and elongated safety bumpers. However, these do little to detract from the car’s graceful elegance, and of course, its iconic ‘Star perched atop the radiator grille. The cavernous interior of this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan is further aided by the car’s long wheelbase configuration, which is denoted by the L in its full title. You’ll find all the expected luxuries, including functional air conditioning with climate control, power windows, and power mirrors. You’ve also got a Becker Mexico AM/FM radio with a cassette tape player. A closer look at the steering column reveals a dainty stalk for activating the car’s cruise control system. As for the seats themselves, they are covered in blue leather and offer a degree of sink-in comfort that’s simply unavailable in today’s cars. These seats, coupled with the car’s superb suspension system mean that driving or riding in it is like traveling on a cloud.
This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan enjoys a 4.5L V8 under the hood, making a factory-rated 190hp and 240lb-ft. A 3-speed automatic transmission is used to drive the rear wheels. We’re told that this car has received a new battery, a new timing chain, new shocks, new bushings, new filters and new valve cover gaskets.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has its roots from way back in 1954. Back then, it wasn’t called an S-Class; the S moniker came with the W116 generation of 1972. Produced for eight years, the W116 would be made as a four-door full-size luxury sedan.

Up for sale with 40,289 miles on the odometer, this car comes with service records, plus its original manuals. It’s also got some new mechanical components to keep it running like it should.
Mercedes-Benz' S-Class has built up a hard-won reputation as the pinnacle full-size luxury sedan over a production run that has its roots in 1951. This particular 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL is one fine example, as it's reportedly been in the same family for all its life. Racking up a healthy 173,121 miles, you'd be hard-pressed to tell; that's how well it's been cared for. Moreover, the car has undergone some refurbishment and restoration work to help keep it as fresh as possible. If you choose to buy this car, you'll be making a very smart decision that your head, as well as your heart, will approve of.
Since 1954, Mercedes-Benz has been producing their Sonderklasse, or Special Class. This is the model that we know of as the S-Class, a model that has redefined the standards for luxury cars and has been first to market with a variety of automotive technologies that are commonplace on today’s cars. What we have here is a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL from the W116 generation, which was the first generation to bear the hallowed ‘S’ designation. Coming to you from Florida with 71,650 miles on the odometer, it’s an ideal opportunity to own a piece of Mercedes-Benz history, as well as a model from the series that was voted European Car of the Year in 1974. A total of 59,578 450 SELs were produced over an eight-year production run.
We don’t need to talk a lot about the history of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Born in 1979 as a rugged and utilitarian off-roader, it soon morphed into one of the most iconic luxury machines in our country, as well as several other places in the world. However, unlike many luxury SUVs, the G-Class maintained its capable off-road chops. Simply swap the low-profile tires on many examples with a more capable set, and the vehicle is ready to go rock-crawling or mud-plugging. Today, we’ve got a particularly potent machine in the shape of this 2025 Mercedes-AMG G63. With just 2,200 miles on the clock and a whole host of extras such as the Engineering Package, Assistance Package and Comfort Package, this Florida-based luxury SUV is the perfect way to travel in eye-catching style.
The default choice for the discerning buyer who wants the best German luxury car available, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been designed to exceed expectations no matter how lofty they may be. Hit up YouTube and you’ll see videos of how the car has been meticulously developed over the years, with no expense spared on ensuring that it’s as refined, comfortable and technologically capable as humanly possible. Today’s 2021 Mercedes-Benz S580 4MATIC thus comes from a legacy that spans over sixty years of development, and is a seventh-generation model. Residing in Springfield, this 31,678-mile machine is up for grabs right now.
Mercedes-Benz created a class of their own when they launched the CLS in 2003. It’s squarely aimed at those who want an E-Class-sized luxury sedan, but with coupe styling. Now, you can find all manner of luxury cars with this kind of styling, but way back in 2003, this was positively groundbreaking. Sadly, the CLS was discontinued in 2023 after three generations of excellence, and there’s no replacement yet. Don’t despair, though, we’ve got a third-generation 2019 Mercedes-AMG CLS53 for sale right now. This 77,300-mile, Daytona Beach-based car comes with some nice upgrades and could be yours. Just DM or call us and let’s get you hooked up.
There comes a time when a car takes things up a notch and has cult following status the moment it leaves its factory floors. BMW’s range of M3’s are most definitely that type, with most models redefining what the perfect drive experience is like. Present today is what is arguably one of the M3’s finest and takes shape with this 1995 BMW M3 Coupe. With a reported 53,000 miles on its clock, this one-owner German powerhouse is a true rare example that keeps on giving on every drive out and also serves as a very savvy investment in the years to come.
The Corvette C3 is one of the most attractive cars in the model's eight-generation history. No wonder that so many astronauts were willing to be seen in one of these. During the third generation of the Corvette, they introduced an edition for those who understand that performance is more than just speed; it's about presence, precision, and power. This is none other than the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette Collector's Edition. Corvette likes to describe it as “limited production with unlimited passion.” The example we are showing here bears 18,800 miles on its odometer and is currently located in Laurel, Maryland.
The MG MGB is one of a series of fine open-topped British roadsters produced by the iconic automaker Morris Garages. Today, Morris Garages or MG is under Chinese ownership and makes a range of SUVs and sedans, but they’re working on a slick new electric roadster to recapture the spirit of yesteryear. However, the popular saying goes, there’s nothing like the original. So why not capture that spirit yourself and buy this Florida-based 1979 MG MGB Roadster from us? With a mere 74,767 miles to its name, this car has been in the custody of the same owner for 32 years and reportedly includes recent maintenance receipts as well. Join us as we take a deep dive into what’s on offer here, and don’t hesitate to call or DM us if you want to own this beauty.
