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.
Dressed in a resplendent red coat of paint that has been newly applied, this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL's exterior exudes timeless elegance. The hood, door skins, and trunk lid are all made of aluminum to reduce weight, deriving its name SL from “Sehr Licht” (very light in German). Chrome accents adorn its silhouette, from the bumpers and door handles to the side mirrors and grille, accentuating the classic Mercedes-Benz SL lines. The prominent three-pointed star in its grill pays homage to the iconic 300SL too. The optional removable hardtop’s distinctive slightly concave roof, reminiscent of a pagoda, is included with a new black soft top to replace it. Step inside into the past of luxurious interiors, as this 280SL has been flawlessly restored to pristine condition. The black cabin with a white headliner harmoniously blends with the wooden trim, extending from the top of the dash to the console tray. Mercedes-Benz also included a tachometer and three-point seat belts, which were offered as standard.
Powering the 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is its original 2.8L straight-six engine, a marvel of engineering boasting Bosch mechanical fuel injection and a single overhead camshaft. Paired with the original 4-speed manual transmission, this Mercedes-Benz 280SL produced 160 horsepower and 193 lb-ft of torque when new, making it a treat to take on the twisty mountain roads. Four-wheel power disc brakes were also offered as standard in 1968 ensuring this classic luxury sports car confident stopping power.

Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
