Many enthusiasts consider the 1980s to be a period of peak Mercedes-Benz. The company’s designs were timeless, and build quality was known to be unreproachable, with engineers known to focus on creating the best they could, no holds barred.

Equipped with a 3.8-liter V8 engine, this example of 1980 Mercedes 380SL Roadster has 100,000 lovingly cared-for miles on the odometer and appears to be in immaculate condition. The car is currently in California, and is offered for sale by the original family that owned it.

There’s an interesting trend taking place in North America, where youngsters are starting to discover the allure of classic cars. Perhaps its their rather more appealing color palette, the fond talk that they’ve heard about classics from their elders, or the desire to diverge from the herd of soulless electric cars that are being thrust upon us. In fact, one of the most interesting classic car choices with Gen Z is starting to become the Mercedes-Benz R107-series SL-Class!

We’ve helped so many examples find new owners that we can safety say that these are built to last if cared for appropriately. So, if you’re a parent (or a youngster) who’s looking for their first classic, check out this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster from New Hampshire. With its V8 engine, timeless styling and relatively low 72,137 miles, it’s a great choice.
Nothing says “old money” like an 80s Mercedes convertible. This fine example is a testament to that statement. The R107 SL Class was in production for nearly 2 decades between 1971 and 1989 (reportedly selling an incredible 300,000 units), and the 380SL was made in the early 80s. In the US market, it replaced the 450SL and was succeeded by the 560SL. It was essentially a 2-seater convertible version of the S Class, providing a delightful combination of driving pleasure and luxury. The S Class frequently gets credit for being the world leader in technological innovation, but few know that the SL was also a very influential model; inertia-reel seatbelts, though now standard on every car, were developed for and debuted in the R107 SL, with its comfort and safety advantages making it an industry trend quickly. Being an 80s Mercedes, the most important thing about this car is the unbeatable quality of engineering.

Love it or hate it, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a formidable off-roader and one that comes with impressive capabilities straight from the factory. While other so-called toughie off-roaders need to head straight for the aftermarket tuners to be turned into trail beasts, all your typical G-Class needs is to change its footwear for something a bit more suited to rough terrain.

Designed by the legendary Harley Earl, the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette heralded an era of American automotive greatness that continues today, eight generations and more than seventy years later. Introduced in 1953 as an all-American two-seat sports car, the C1 went through several developmental hurdles before maturing into the beautifully refined machine seen here. By 1959, the Corvette had already received its important 1958 facelift—adding quad headlamps, heavy chrome detailing, and factory-installed seatbelts—making models from this period especially desirable. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette, finished in Roman Red with iconic White Coves and located in Florida, represents one of the finest ways to experience the facelifted C1 era.
