Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury vehicle producer that needs no introduction whatsoever. One of their finest model line-ups was the Mercedes-Benz R107/C107 range of cars, produced from 1971 till 1989. These were classified as sports car/grand tourers. The R107/C107 were available in the SL and SLC configuration. Up for grabs is an impressive 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC Euro model, with just 66,562 miles on the clock.
Bedecked in a stunning Lapis Blue which the seller reports is a recent re-paint, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC is sure to draw attention for its grace and beauty. The 280 SLC is a 2-door hardtop coupe, which can be distinguished by the rear quarter window slats. The front features a slatted grille with the Mercedes-Benz logo on it. Below the front bumper, a pair of fog lamps can be observed, while the hood is host to the Mercedes-Benz roundel. Moving on to the rear, the trunk lid is host to the 280 SLC badge and the Mercedes-Benz logo. The car sits on a set of true vintage Mercedes-Benz wheels finished in chrome and blue, with the Mercedes-Benz logo in the middle while white-walled tires run around it. A perfect match for the exteriors Lapis Blue color is the Blue Plaid interior color, this whole color combination is reminiscent of the Santorini hotels in Greece. The 4-spoke steering wheel is finished in an unassuming black behind which rests the cluster gauge which is done in white and yellow. The interior features a wood trim as well. The seller is giving the car away with the factory tool kit, manufacturer's original literature, and three keys.
While North America received the SL and SLC with only a V8, Europe had the choice of the 2.8L and 3.0L inline-6 engines. This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC is host to the fuel-injected 2.8L inline-6 coupled to a 4-speed automatic transmission which sends power to the rear wheels. It is reported that the fuel system was cleaned, a new distributor installed, and new fuel lines and fuel tank were all done and installed in 2020. The top speed was officially stated as 129 mph as new which is quite decent for the time.

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!
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class legacy began in 1954, with the gorgeous 300SL Gullwing. Its breathtaking lines and exciting performance made it a real treat to behold. Mercedes-Benz followed up in 1963 with the W113, also known as the Pagoda due to its roof shape in hardtop form. This particular 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a convertible, however it does come with a nice little surprise too. It’s also a Euro-Spec version that was repainted around a decade ago. With about 60,000 miles to its name, this car is a great German classic for you to pick up and turn heads wherever you choose to take it. Because let’s face it, who doesn’t like a classic Mercedes-Benz? It’s the epitome of taste, after all.
We've come a very long way since the 1960s, and so has the Mercedes Benz SL lineup. The modern Mercedes SL has air-conditioned seats, radar-guided cruise control, and a top speed of a couple of hundred miles an hour — all the stuff you need. But in terms of style, it's hard to beat the classic designs, such as our featured car. If you’re a classic car lover, you might look at everybody else going around in their air-conditioned euro boxes and just feel better off with a rolling piece of art that whispers stories of the past. For you, this 1980 Mercedes Benz 280SL Convertible from Virginia will suit you perfectly. It is reportedly imported from Europe and has 108,350 miles on it.
Mercedes-Benz has a fine array of grand tourers, but if you want a true-blue sports car with a star on its nose, the Mercedes-AMG GT is as fine as they come. Introduced in 2014, the AMG GT is now in its second generation of production. It’s a fearsome two-door fastback coupe with a twin-turbo V8 under its hood. Hence, it makes for a fine car to drive regularly, and we have a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 for sale right now. This 3,000-mile machine comes with a 469 horsepower 4.0-liter V8, an AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed automatic gearbox, all-wheel drive and a host of tech features. It’s currenrly available in Dallas.
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
Formerly called the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, the GLE represents the midsize sport utility offering from Mercedes-Benz, and has done so since 1997. Then, it was called the ML-Class and rode on a traditional, body on frame configuration. However, since 2005 and the second generation, a unibody construction was adopted, and the M-Class became more road-oriented. The GLE name came in 2015 when the third generation was facelifted, and basically alludes to the model being the SUV equivalent of an E-Class. Today, what we have is a fourth-generation example from the house of Mercedes-AMG. This 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE53 has traveled just over 27,000 miles and comes with a twin-turbo straight six under the hood. It’s also got 4MATIC all-wheel drive and the usual Mercedes-Benz refinements to enjoy, in its quest to be your next family vehicle. If you’d like to answer its call, let us know.
