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.

One of Chevy’s most popular compacts of the Sixties and Seventies, cars like this 1972 Chevrolet Nova Restomod ruled the roost of sporty small cars. They were available in frugal six-cylinder form, or with small-block V8s under the hood. Today’s car, however, is a build like no other. It rocks a mammoth 454ci V8 under the hood, driving the rear wheels through a TH-350 automatic gearbox. A 2.5-inch aftermarket exhaust ensures that everyone hears the rumble of the big V8 as you streak by in a flash of burnt orange, riding upon REV 109 classic Magnum 15-inch wheels. You’ll even get dual four-point harnesses which are currently not installed, in case you want to take this Nova to a track or strip.
