The Mercedes-Benz SL might never have come to be, way back in the Fifties, if an American importer hadn’t suggested to the German manufacturer that they should make a street version of their 300 SL race car. The result was the 1954 300 SL, which brought the trademark gullwing doors and iconic shape, eyebrows over the wheels and all, to the American personal luxury car market. Fast forward to 2022, and the R232 generation has just been launched. Along the way, the R107, which ran for eighteen years between 1971 and 1989 was one of the most iconic. Loved by Hollywood and driven on and off screen by celebs of the day, this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster is your ticket to entering those glorious boulevard cruising times. It’s got 130,000 miles on the clock, but don’t let that dissuade you as the seller has a log of documents and maintenance records over the years to showcase that it’s been looked after.
The R107 generation was quite a departure from the W113 that preceded it. Gone were Sixties styling, in came Seventies design language. American-market cars sported the individual headlamps and elongated bumpers that were mandated due to safety regulations. This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster wears a lovely blue exterior and rolls on reportedly original wheels that are wrapped in tires that are said to be five years old, but look decent as the vehicle apparently doesn’t get driven much. The chrome is reported to be original as well. Step aboard and you are greeted by a gray interior that’s said to have been redone around 2016, and there’s wood trim on the dash and center console too. An aftermarket Alpine radio and speakers have been installed, and there’s climate control plus the usual powered conveniences you’d expect from an Eighties Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster is powered by a 3.8L V8 engine with Bosch fuel injection that put out 155hp and 196lb-ft for US-market cars when new. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission, and this car has received a new battery this year.

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?
Every once in a blue moon, Mercedes-AMG drops a powerhouse and calls it a Black Series. Rooted in motorsports and built in limited numbers, these models showcase the pinnacle of performance and engineering, bringing race car technology to the road. Today we have one of the best examples, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series. Derived from its DTM (German Touring Car Championship) counterpart, this CLK63 Black Series is instantly recognizable thanks to its flamboyant, yet functional muscular body. The CLK63 AMG was even used as the official safety car in Formula 1 from 2006 to 2007. Only a mere 500 examples were reportedly produced with over 300 models shipped here into the States. Breathing life through its massive 6.2-liter M156 V8 producing up to 500 horsepower, this German beast was and is still loved by many. This particular grey model we have today has hit 35,000 miles on the odometer with servicing kept up to date as reported. With 2 heavy duty battery remote keys with a panic button, this 1 of 1 Magno Alanite Grey CLK63 AMG Black Series is for sale in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Cruising in luxury and style exposes you to a host of choices, but narrow it down, and it's certain that a chilled-out drive experience is best enjoyed behind the wheel of a roadster. Now that you have this narrowed down, its time to pick the right roadster to enhance your drive feel, feeling overwhelmed with the choices available? Worry not, this 2015 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG with a reported 12,150 miles on the clock is the perfect way to liven up your weekend drives in style.
The legendary Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is reportedly the first ever AMG-Mercedes to be designed from the ground up. Featuring revised front suspension that was shared with the CLK 63 AMG Black Series, the C63 AMG was known to have the quickest, most responsive steering of any Mercedes automobile at the time. Boasting a monstrous naturally aspirated 6.3-liter Mercedes-Benz M156 engine, this German beast came out of the factory reportedly producing 451 horsepower with performance packages taking it up to 507. However, this blacked out 2013 model we have here is capable of much more. Equipped with a Gintani Supercharger and Gintani Stage 2 tune, this power figure is expected to be quite a bit of a punch over the factory rated power. This C63 AMG is a force to be reckoned with on the roads. This 2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG has received consistent maintenance along with a recent service having clocked a total of 52,000 miles on the odometer and is now looking for its new owner in Los Angeles, California.
