If you want to own a practical and regularly usable German classic, an example of the R107 series Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is a great choice. Produced from 1971 to 1989, later models of the series were much upgraded and updated over the earlier ones. Plus, with their legendary Mercedes-Benz build quality and reliability from the period, there’s little reason to fear a well-maintained example. This 81,476-mile 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL from Spring Hill, Florida is one prime example. It’s said to be an all-stock car, save for its aftermarket five-double spoke alloy wheels which are from Mercedes-Benz anyways, so you’re still in the family. Let’s find out a bit more about this car.
Draped in gorgeous bright red, this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a car for those who aren’t shy of attention. The car’s newer Mercedes-Benz silver alloy wheels add a further degree of interest, in the form of a retro-modern way. You can easily tell that this is a US-market car by way of its elongated safety bumpers and dual sealed beam headlamps, but these elements don’t really take away the overall charm of the R107’s design which was the work of Joseph Gallitzendörfer and Friedrich Geiger. Furthermore, this car comes with a color-matched removable hardtop, as well as a black convertible top, so it’s like having two cars in one package. A car cover is also included with the sale. The Saddle colored interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes with comforts such as automatic climate control, power mirrors, power windows and a power radio antenna. The classic radio has been swapped out for a moder modern Kenwood single-DIN head unit with a CD player, a USB port and an AUX input. This is a very reasonable upgrade, as it broadens your choices of music, and we also see a set of new speakers installed within the rear cargo area behind the two seats. Since this is a later model R107, it’s also got the airbag-equipped steering wheel that came about in the Eighties.
A 5.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 powers this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, and it’s hooked up to a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive system. This makes for effortless performance in town and on the highway. Power steering and power disc brakes are standard as well.

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.
