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.

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.
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
