This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL shows off its Friedrich Geiger and Paul Bracq-penned lines in a nice white coat. The car is said to be all original style, right down to its steel wheels with white Mercedes-Benz Star-toting center caps.

We've come a very long way since the 1960s, and so has the Mercedes Benz SL lineup. The modern Mercedes SL has air-conditioned seats, radar-guided cruise control, and a top speed of a couple of hundred miles an hour — all the stuff you need. But in terms of style, it's hard to beat the classic designs, such as our featured car. If you’re a classic car lover, you might look at everybody else going around in their air-conditioned euro boxes and just feel better off with a rolling piece of art that whispers stories of the past. For you, this 1980 Mercedes Benz 280SL Convertible from Virginia will suit you perfectly. It is reportedly imported from Europe and has 108,350 miles on it.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is renowned for being one of the finest grand tourers that you can buy. A grand tourer is a car that’s meant to offer effortless long-distance cruising abilities, with a healthy dose of performance and plenty of luxury. Clearly aimed at the well-off, these cars are status symbols and icons of success, too. Take the R107 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class as a prime example. You’ve probably seen this model in countless movies and sitcoms from the Seventies and Eighties. Hollywood’s love affair with the R107 is well-known, with many stars of the period choosing to buy and drive one as well. Of course, the R107 was well-received in its home country of Germany too. This is one such example: a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 280SL that’s reportedly been imported from Germany. The car is said to have 95,000 miles on the clock and a recent oil change, plus some mechanical refreshments.
One of the smartest classic cars to own and drive on a regular basis has got to be a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 generation of 1971 to 1989. These cars were Hollywood darlings when they were new, and over 300,000 were sold worldwide. It’s estimated that 68% of these ended up in the United States, as official or gray market imports. That’s why getting your hands on one isn’t that hard. This Florida-based 1975 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is one great example. The car has got 86,100 miles under its belt, and has received some new components to keep it driving as sweetly as it did back when it was new.
One of the most legendary members of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineage is the W124 generation. This generation came about in 1984, and was made until 1995 as a sedan. Other variants carried on until as late as 1997. The W124 is widely considered to be one of the most solidly-engineered Mercedes-Benz models; it’s not uncommon to see them being used as taxis in some African countries to this day, braving elements such as desert sand, scorching temperatures and of course, limited availability of spare parts. We did get the W124 in the United States as well, and today, we’ve got a nice 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300D from Virginia for sale. This car has got 131,410 miles on the odometer, but that’s a mere stroll for a W124. You really should buy it because it’s a car that will become a classic very soon; yet is modern enough to drive around regularly. The car is said to be all-stock and has received a recent service.
The Mercedes-Benz SL is a sleek, alluring Roadster that is loved by many. For many years, this model line has been themed as Mercedes-Benz's stylish Beverly Hills-Esque palm tree open-air driving experiences roadster. It was originally introduced in 1954 and has remained an iconic car among car collectors, especially since the early versions in the 50s are also extremely valuable today. Recently, Mercedes Benz reintroduced the SL and three model options were available for buyers. The SL43, which is what we have on offer here, is the most affordable way to get into this exciting blend of engineering, technology, and entertainment. This striking 2023 Mercedes Benz SL43 is currently located in Charlotte, North Carolina with reportedly 3500 miles on its speedometer.
Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included). However, if you look after it the way it’s meant to be, and drive it with gusto, you’ll find it quickly becoming your happy place, your solitude space. Furthermore, if you select a car like this New York-based 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS that’s done just 37,000 miles, you’ll also be in charge of a definitive future classic, and a potentially appreciating asset.
The Chevrolet brand set the standard for American automobiles in the 60s, and it only takes one look at this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Deluxe Wagon to understand why. The simple and straightforward nature of the car speaks to the American spirit. With the wagon form, this Chevelle packed with a host of upgrades, after reportedly undergoing a full restoration with a 410 hp 383ci stroker engine, a new paint job in 2015 according to the current owner, aftermarket wheels, new tires and an all-new interior. If you’re looking for an classic that is unique, then this Chevelle is what you’re looking for.
The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a two-door coupe that was positioned in the personal luxury car space. Of course, with a name like Monte Carlo, you can glean that it’s meant for the upmarket segment. Made across six generations, you could buy a brand-new Monte Carlo as recently as 2007. However, the classic Monte Carlos are the ones to get, such as this Pennsylvania-based, second generation 1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau. With a reported 40,805 original miles, this car is waiting for its next fortunate owner.
