Selecting a classic luxury grand tourer from the Eighties is not an easy task. By this time, automakers had largely upped their game to a degree that they were fiercely competing with each other on multiple fronts. The American manufacturers were doing well, but they had their work cut out by the Europeans. More specifically, Mercedes-Benz. You see, way back in 1971, the automaker launched its R107 generation of SL-Class. This fine grand tourer took over the ʼ70s and entered the ʼ80s with poise too. That’s because Mercedes-Benz kept updating and improving it over the car’s long 18-year production run. Hence, a later-model car like this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL is actually quite different to say, an early 1970s example. That’s why it’s a great luxury grand tourer for a discerning collector to acquire and enjoy. The car was imported from Germany and has got a smidge over 91,000 miles to its name. Now, it peacefully waits for a new owner in Baltimore, Maryland.
Originally sporting a red coat of paint, we’re told that this German-market 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL is now painted in a clean slate of white. The pictures themselves don’t do proper justice to how graceful the car looks, especially with its Euro-style bumpers, yellow fog lamps and color-matched white hard top. The car also sports a set of original Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels. The tan leather interior of this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL comes with a rear seat since European-market R107 SL variants had this. North American cars swapped this out for a padded luggage area. There are advantages and disadvantages of course, but the two rear seats can still accommodate two average-sized teenagers, or you could pack some luggage there as well, so you don’t really lose anything. Meanwhile, the front seats have got heating for comfort during harsh winter conditions. The car’s automatic climate control panel is visible in the center console, as is its upgraded Pioneer head unit. There’s also an alarm system to keep this beauty safe from thieves.
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL uses a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 to move it. The engine was reportedly rated for 237hp and 296lb-ft when new, and drives the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic gearbox. All-round disc brakes with power assistance provide ample stopping power.

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
