The R107 era from Mercedes-Benz’s popular SL-Class lineup is a popular classic for many. It’s perfect as your first introduction to classic cars, as well as a fine addition for seasoned collectors to make to their collections. During the model’s 18-year production run, Mercedes-Benz continually updated and enhanced it. The car also gained a formidable reputation for its luxury and refined long-distance cruising abilities. Today’s 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL comes to you from Seattle, and has driven over 185,000 miles so far. However, you can see by the condition of the car that these machines were built to travel. With the requisite maintenance performed in a timely manner, there’s no reason why this car couldn’t outlive its owner!
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a sleek coat of red paint, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL has got exclusive European-style flush bumpers, as well as the European-style larger headlamps that weren’t typically seen on North American market cars. That gives this SL a distinctive look when driving down our roads, as it’s reportedly a European market model. Furthermore, the car’s body-colored hardtop is included with the sale. When the weather is lovely, you can detach the hardtop and keep it at home. Should you need protection, there’s still a black convertible top to call upon. Yes, it’s basically a coupe and a convertible in one car – isn’t that great? The two-seat interior of this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL showcases a key difference between European and North American market cars. European cars crammed a tiny rear seat into the space behind the two front seats, while North American market cars provided additional cargo space. Interestingly, this car comes with the cargo space despite reportedly being a European market car. Here, you’ll see two aftermarket speakers have been installed, driven by a newer Pioneer Premier head unit with a CD player and an AUX input. With black leather upholstering the seats and ample wood trim across the dashboard, this really is old-school luxury, personified.
Engine
This 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL comes with a 2.8-liter six-cylinder engine. The engine is reportedly rated at 182hp and 176lb-ft. It powers the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission.
This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL captures the elegant grand-touring character that made the R107 one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring roadsters. Showing approximately 112,669 miles, this European-specification example pairs its 2.8L naturally aspirated M110 inline-six with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Champagne Metallic over a Brazil leather interior, it also features both a brown convertible soft top and a removable body-colored hardtop, giving it genuine year-round versatility. European-market headlights and bumpers, classic 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels, and period-correct cabin details give this 280 SL the unmistakable look and feel of an early-1980s Mercedes roadster.
The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL represented the final and most refined evolution of the legendary W113 “Pagoda” series, combining elegant styling with dependable engineering and grand touring comfort. Today, the W113 remains one of the marque’s most sought-after classics thanks to its timeless design and robust mechanicals. This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL has traveled just 41,794 miles and is finished in Pine Green over a Black interior, creating a sophisticated color combination that suits the car’s graceful lines. Equipped with a desirable 4-speed manual transmission, Frigiking air conditioning, and tasteful period accessories, this Pagoda offers a rewarding analog driving experience while remaining equally at home on weekend tours or at concours events.
Mercedes-Benz’s R107-generation SL is one of the longest-running and most beloved roadster platforms in automotive history, blending timeless styling, refined engineering, and open-top grand touring capability. This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL shows 78,616 miles and presents as a well-kept example finished in Signal Red over a Palomino interior. Powered by the smooth M110 inline-six engine and equipped with both a black convertible soft top and a body-colored removable hardtop, this SL offers year-round versatility. Additional highlights include reupholstered seating surfaces, refreshed carpeting, wood interior trim, and the desirable Becker Grand Prix radio, making this classic Mercedes an appealing choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
Few cars capture late-1980s American performance quite like a C4 Corvette. With its long clamshell hood, low-slung cockpit, pop-up headlights, and unmistakable V8 soundtrack, the C4 represented a dramatic leap forward for America’s sports car. This 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible shows 56,274 miles and combines its 5.7-liter L98 V8 with a 4-speed automatic transmission and the desirable Z52 Sport Handling Package. Dark Red Metallic paint, a Saddle convertible top and matching Saddle leather cabin give it a quintessential period color combination, while a rear luggage rack adds another classic grand-touring touch.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.
This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s second-generation F-body and gives it a much more aggressive enthusiast-focused personality. Showing approximately 752 miles, this example combines a 383ci stroker V8 with a 750 CFM Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission, giving it the kind of old-school muscle-car formula that puts driver involvement front and center. Finished in Black with custom Purple & Red flame graphics, this Camaro also features a Hurst shifter, Grant GT steering wheel, aftermarket gauges, and a number of exterior and audio upgrades that give it a distinctly custom-built character.
