But take the body-colored convertible hard off, and it's a whole different car. It oozes class with its combination of flat body panels and curvy bonnet, gaining the attention of anyone, whether driving down the road or parked outside a grand hotel.

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.
You might be wondering why there are so many R107-series Mercedes-Benz SLs for sale. Certainly, we at Exotic Car Trader have shifted our fair share. You see, that’s because the R107 was one of the best-sellers of its time. Between 1971 and 1989, Mercedes-Benz made over 300,000 of them. That’s pretty decent for a top-tier luxury car, and what’s even more eye-widening is, two-thirds of that was official US market sales! Yes, that’s before we consider the gray market or personal imports from Europe. Another factor that explains why so many are surviving is because they are built to last. Packing that inimitable Mercedes-Benz quality and sturdiness, there are plenty of examples to go around, ensuring that as many enthusiasts can experience the car as possible. Today’s 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL from Blue Ridge, Georgia is no different. It may have driven over 149,000 miles so far, but that’s mere chicken feed for this Merc. Plus, it comes with the original window sticker and maintenance records too.
With over 300,000 produced and two-thirds of that ending up in North America, the Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class is one of those success stories that must be told. The series ran between 1971 and 1989, and during that time, Mercedes-Benz made countless upgrades and updates. While American cars were burdened with lower power outputs and emission controls, European cars were able to better weather the storm as they were already being made to be frugal yet powerful. So, if you’d like to get your hands on a well-equipped, low-mileage R107, this 39,000-mile 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL from Hattiesburg, Mississippi is the right choice. With its V8 engine, 4-speed automatic gearbox and leather interior, this is old-school Mercedes-Benz luxury at its finest.
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.

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.
