The Mercedes-Benz S-Class needs no introduction. It’s widely regarded as the most well-known and technologically-equipped mainstream luxury car in the world, before you venture into Rolls-Royce and Bentley territories (and their accompanying stratospheric price tags). Today’s 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SE is from the second generation of S-Class, also known as the W126 in Mercedes-Benz circles. This Florida-based sedan has just over 67,000 miles on it, but can easily treble that number with the proper maintenance. Hence, it’s a great way to get into luxury classic cars that aren’t too old, but have some modern comfort features and decent performance to offer.
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SE wears a two-tone gold and brown paint job, which really accentuates its timeless lines, the work of legendary Mercedes-Benz designer Bruno Sacco. The car bears a simple yet attractive set of silver alloy wheels, and also comes with a rear deck lid spoiler for a hint of sportiness. The twin tailpipes at the rear also hint at the same, but much of this car’s purpose is to be a comfortable, long-distance cruiser. Of course, with its suitably sizable proportions, which aren’t quite land yacht but not compact car either, this car isn’t meant for hustling around corners in a frenzied fashion. Rather, it’s more suitable to swift yet smooth driving on highways and flowing roads. The interior of this car offers spacious seating for up to five adults, in characteristic Eighties brown and of course, made from leather. The car comes with features such as power windows, power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, power mirrors, a powered radio antenna and cruise control. Rear-seat passengers also receive air vents for their comfort. Meanwhile, a Becker radio with cassette tape player occupies the lower part of the center console, and is, in its own right, a highly desirable piece of automotive audio equipment.
Powering this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SE is a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V8 with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Mercedes-Benz literature informs us that the car packed 201hp and 232lb-ft of torque, fed to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Braking is via ventilated discs with anti-lock braking, and the car has received new ball joints as well.

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.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.
Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.
Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
