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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.

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.
Few Mercedes-Benz roadsters carry the same old-school grand-touring presence as the R107 560 SL. This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL shows 118,121 miles and pairs its 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a classic Smoke Silver Metallic exterior, Brazil Brown leather interior, and Dark Brown convertible soft top. A body-color removable hardtop adds another layer of versatility, while period equipment including 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, burl wood trim, a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo, automatic climate control, and cruise control captures the character of Mercedes-Benz luxury from the era. It is a specification that combines V8 power, open-air motoring, and unmistakably traditional Mercedes styling.
This 2019 Mercedes-AMG G 63 takes the already imposing G-Wagen formula and pushes it further with an inspired replica/tribute appearance. Showing 49,356 miles, this example features a satin black vinyl wrap over its factory designo Diamond White Metallic finish, along with an aftermarket body kit and aftermarket engine cover that give it the visual attitude associated with a certain build. Importantly, this is not being represented as an authentic edition, as it does not have the corresponding authenticity plaque. Beyond the exterior transformation, the specification remains strong with 22-inch AMG forged wheels, red AMG brake calipers, an Exclusive Interior Package Plus, carbon fiber trim, and a striking designo Classic Red/Black Exclusive Nappa leather cabin.
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 250 C 2.8 is a classic W114 coupe with the elegant pillarless profile that makes these cars so distinctive today. Showing approximately 90,892 miles, it pairs traditional Mercedes-Benz styling with a 2.8L naturally aspirated inline-six, a 4-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive. Finished in white over a red MB-Tex/leather interior, this example has the kind of period-correct character enthusiasts look for, with touches such as woodgrain dashboard trim, a Becker Europa radio, and sheepskin seat covers adding to the vintage European grand-touring atmosphere.
