The 80s were a wonderful time to be alive for petrolheads. Auto manufacturers were in full swing trying to differentiate themselves and get their best cars on the market. The German auto industry saw some greats come out during this era with prices heading sky-high these days for anything German and built during this period. During the early 80s Mercedes-Benz was looking to revamp its classy Sporty luxury convertible Lineup and the result of this was the introduction of the 380SL. The 380SL was a further development to the existing R107 chassis and with its iconic body lines, classy looks, and impressive performance it was an instant success in the US market.

The first Black Series to reach the American shores and only the second of its kind ever produced was none other than the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series. Modeled after the official safety car of Formula 1 at the time and boasting heritage from the German Touring Car Championship, this iconic Black Series made its grand debut at the prestigious 2007 New York Auto Show. Transforming the standard CLK63 into a road-legal racecar, they threw the rear seats away, upgraded the suspension, and fitted larger tires and aerodynamic elements, all the while maximizing the power output of a 6.3-liter V8. Only a mere 12,766 miles on the odometer and with 700 models produced, this particular CLK63 AMG Black Series waits for you in Florida, offering one of the best driving experiences of the 2000s.
Like most Mercedes-Benz cars, the timeless SL series is known for retaining its value as soon as it rolled off the showroom floor. In contrast to the mass production of most cars during its era, the number of SLs manufactured was very small. Only 23,742 units were built from 1968 through 1971, with roughly half of this figure sold in the United States, making this 280SL a rare collectible. It famously used the same double A-frame suspension proven years ago on the legendary 300 SL. This Mercedes-Benz 280SL has been kept by the second owner from 1973 to the present and is reported to have been serviced on time throughout that period. With just 119,000 miles on the clock, this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL awaits your ownership in Washington.
