Few cars from the past reach legendary status, as the R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL has done. With an eighteen year production run between 1971 and 1989, the R107 quickly became a Hollywood favorite, featuring in countless films, being driven by stars on, and off screen as well. Its timeless lines and Mercedes-Benz badge alone mark it out as a highly desirable car, especially if its in good condition as this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster is. With just 37,787 miles on the clock, this example is a low-miler that’s ready to be driven and enjoyed by an enthusiast. It’s also got a numbers-matching motor and transmission as a further draw to a discerning buyer.
The lines of the R107 are the work of Joseph Gallitzendorfer and Friedrich Geiger, and they’ve created an icon of Mercedes-Benz timelessness. Those lines on this Anthracite Gray 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster are slightly diluted by the US-regulated quad sealed beam headlamps and elongated front bumper for crash regulation compliance. Thankfully, that’s only at the front; the sides and rear remain the same as on European market cars, and this example is said to have new tires and a new soft top as well. Badging and chrome detailing appear to be in decent shape. The interior is in gray, with seating for two and an upholstered luggage storage area behind that hosts the first aid kit, and augments the trunk storage on offer. As Mercedes-Benz’ pinnacle two-door offering, the car comes with climate control, power windows and mirrors, power antenna, a Technics radio cassette player. The interior is in decent condition, with some light wear and tear visible on the seats and trim pieces.
While the most potent engine one could have in a R107SL was a 5.6L V8 that put out a healthy 237hp in Euro trim, North American cars were somewhat down on power due to the emissions regulations in force. This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster packs a smaller 3.8L V8 that will be friendlier on the wallet at the pumps, and it puts out 155hp and 196lb-ft to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. With a car like this, you want to go slower so that everyone can enjoy watching it go by, rather than whizz past in a gray blur. The seller reports a new exhaust muffler has been installed as well.
Do you want to own and drive a contemporary Mercedes-Benz model that’s a timeless icon, and has definite classic value? If so, consider an example of the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class. Produced between 1971 and 1989, the R107 embodied Hollywood in more ways than one. It was a darling of the silver screen, as well as a hot item for actors and actresses to drive around in. Now, it’s a well-recognized classic car, and one that’ll only appreciate in value as the earliest examples have passed their fiftieth birthdays. Meanwhile, this 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL isn’t at the Fifty mark yet, but it’s a lovely example to cherish. With 135,000 miles on the clock, you can tell that it’s led an enjoyable life, but there’s plenty more to give. After all, Mercedes-Benzes of this ilk can go on forever with the right maintenance and TLC – and this car has reportedly had all its maintenance done, up to date.
We first knew the Mercedes-Benz 380SL as the 350 SL then the 450 SL. In late 1981, a new 3.8 L light alloy aluminum cylinder V8 arrived along with Mercedes' latest automatic gearbox; hence the 380 SL. Built on the highly regarded and successful R107 chassis, the Mercedes-Benz 380SL expanded on the technological advancements of its earlier models. The SL class featured excellent build quality, a powerful engine, sporty yet comfortable handling, and all the contemporary amenities one would expect from a high-end European vehicle. This well-preserved example of the 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL demonstrates these qualities perfectly. Showing 97,000 miles on its clock, this beauty is available for sale with a correct Classic Silver paint over a striking blue leather interior.
The Mercedes-Benz SL is a bucket list aspiration for many. It’s the car you buy to treat yourself when you’ve made it. Owning and driving a brand-new SL marks a milestone, and a time when you know that you can somewhat relax and enjoy the finer aspects of life. Imagine how the first owner of this R107-generation 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL must have felt when picking up their car brand-new! While the car has done 103,000 miles since then, it’s still in good condition, so you can feel just as special if you buy this car from us. What are you waiting for?
Mercedes-Benz created a hit when they launched the CLS-Class range in late 2003. Designed on the E-Class underpinnings, the CLS offered a sportier, four-door coupe body style to buyers who wanted a luxury midsize sedan with sports car looks. The segment has since seen competitors from nearly all the headline German luxury automakers. Today’s 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS 550 comes from the second generation that ran between 2010 and 2018. It’s a lovely machine for the discerning driver who also wants something relatively practical and family-friendly. Currently residing in Miami, this machine has done over 83,000 miles so far.
Today, we’ve got something truly unique for the no-compromise overland adventurer in you. Say Howdy to this 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Rogue Palisade Dakar Edition that’s truly distinctive. Built by the Rogue Van Company, this machine started life as a regular Mercedes-Benz 2500 Sprinter before receiving an extensive makeover. Along the way, it received plenty of interior and exterior enhancements, and even comes with Starlink internet connectivity in case you can’t disconnect from your digital lifestyle no matter where you go. Now, this epic machine is available for sale in San Diego, after traveling just over 30,000 miles to date.
We don’t need to talk a lot about the history of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Born in 1979 as a rugged and utilitarian off-roader, it soon morphed into one of the most iconic luxury machines in our country, as well as several other places in the world. However, unlike many luxury SUVs, the G-Class maintained its capable off-road chops. Simply swap the low-profile tires on many examples with a more capable set, and the vehicle is ready to go rock-crawling or mud-plugging. Today, we’ve got a particularly potent machine in the shape of this 2025 Mercedes-AMG G63. With just 2,200 miles on the clock and a whole host of extras such as the Engineering Package, Assistance Package and Comfort Package, this Florida-based luxury SUV is the perfect way to travel in eye-catching style.
