The R107 series of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is one of the best contemporary classic cars to get your hands on. Made between 1971 and 1989, many changes were made to this evergreen grand tourer from Germany’s most popular luxury automaker. So, if you’d like to get your hands on a R107, try this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL as your next (or first) classic car. It’s from the last year of R107 production and has covered merely 41,907 miles so far. The current owner also tells us that the car has received a recent oil change.
Dressed in Garnet paint, this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is definitely a head-turner and will still look great parked in the foyer of a luxury hotel today. The car comes with a color-matched removable hard top which can be detached and stored at home in the summertime when the weather is fine. Then, you’ve still got a soft top at your disposal in case it gets too sunny or rainy. Furthermore, this car wears a nice set of shiny silver 15-inch alloy wheels with Mercedes-Benz star-embossed center caps for some visual glitz. The two-seat interior of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes in a lovely beige theme, and the steering wheel features an airbag as was typical for later models of the R107. Highlights include cruise control, automatic climate control and a Becker Grand Prix radio with cassette tape player. The radio’s antenna is power-retractable as well, operated via a center console-mounted rocker switch. Other features include power windows and power mirrors. As for luggage, you’ve got a decently sized trunk, plus a padded area behind the two seats that can be used for more storage. On European models, this area hosted a small set of rear seats, but you’ll find that it’s more useful as a luggage storage area instead.
Under the hood of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL lies a 5.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 with Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel injection. The engine makes a healthy 227hp and 287lb-ft as per factory figures, and is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car is rear-wheel drive, with rear semi-trailing arm suspension. The front suspension uses double wishbones. It’s also got front and rear coil springs, as well as anti lock-backed disc brakes on all four wheels.
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.

There’s an interesting trend taking place in North America, where youngsters are starting to discover the allure of classic cars. Perhaps its their rather more appealing color palette, the fond talk that they’ve heard about classics from their elders, or the desire to diverge from the herd of soulless electric cars that are being thrust upon us. In fact, one of the most interesting classic car choices with Gen Z is starting to become the Mercedes-Benz R107-series SL-Class!

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has got to be one of the most curious vehicles from German luxury auto manufacturer Mercedes-Benz. In some ways, its at odds with all the brand’s other luxury, quiet, and polished offerings, with its go-anywhere, no-nonsense, mud-plugging persona. But, it’s also available with many of the premium trappings found in an S-Class, as well as sonorous V8 engines if you choose. Even AMG, Mercedes-Benz’ premier tuning arm makes a variant of the G-Class. That makes the G-Class the ideal vehicle for a very discerning kind of person, someone who wants that rare intersection between top-tier luxury and go-anywhere off-road abilities.

Dora, Florida, this 5.5-liter BiTurbo V8 powered machine packs under 34,000 miles on it, and includes some Designo elements too.

There’s nothing like cruising around in a classic first-generation Ford Mustang. Anything made between 1964 and 1973 will do, really.

That’s what we have here, a nearly pristine 1966 Ford Mustang Hardtop that’s been repainted in Candy Apple Red and packs a 289ci V8 under the hood.
