The Mercedes-Benz W108 series of 1965 to 1972 is part of the hallowed S-Class lineage. Intended as the Stuttgart automaker's pinnacle offerings of the time, these four-door sedans were widely acclaimed, and over 380,000 were made during their production run. This example, a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE, is a four-door sedan with a mere 20,500 miles on the clock and has received some refreshment work to keep it in superb condition. If you'd like to see what Mercedes-Benz motoring of the Sixties and Seventies was like, this is a worthy classic car to purchase as a first-time classic or another addition to a discerning collection.
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE wears a smooth black coat that befits its Paul Bracq-penned lines, which are considered some of the most distinctive of all time. There's no mistaking a period Mercedes-Benz for anything else, really. Looking further, the twin stacked headlamps and imposing front grille of the W108 are present, as are the diminutive taillamp clusters at the rear. We're told that the front end of this car has been rebuilt. Finally, the car rolls on a set of steel wheels replete with black half hubcaps adorned by the iconic Mercedes-Benz Star. The interior of this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE is a five-seat affair with red leather seats and a wood-trimmed dashboard. The driver grips a thin-rimmed steering wheel that faces a comprehensive pack of VDO instruments, including an analog clock right at the cluster's center. Low down between the front seats lies a chrome-surrounded gear shifter, and higher up in the center console is a Becker Mexico push-button radio. We also spot what appears to be an air conditioning unit but are unsure of its functional status. Meanwhile, rear-seat passengers are treated to a first-class ride, courtesy of a plushly padded bench seat, armrests, and ashtrays. The trunk is a similarly capacious affair and hosts a full-size spare wheel and tire, too.
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE packs a 2.8L in-line 6-cylinder engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Research shows that the engine is said to produce 158hp and 177lb-ft and drives the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Moreover, the car has recirculating ball power steering, front and rear disc brakes, and independent suspension all around. The current owner reports new bolts, a new battery, new gaskets, and fresh fluids.
How does one define a classic car? Does a car's age make it a classic? Maybe it's the rarity factor? There are many ways to classify a classic car, but only a very few are recognized by all as a bonafide icon. The car we have today takes away that burning question and is a classic in every right. Present today is this lovely 1972 Mercedes-Benz 280SE. This luxury cruiser and German classic has a reported 11,000 miles on the clock and is the perfect way to spruce up your collection or savor a weekend drive in all its glory.

Mercedes-Benz perfected the German luxury car recipe with the S-Class, a model that’s been around since 1954, and gained the ‘S’ moniker in 1972, with the W116 being the first to carry this hallowed letter. The preceding three generations weren’t explicitly badged ‘S’, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have the pedigree, in fact, they laid the groundwork for a formula that has served Mercedes-Benz superbly to this date. What we’ve got here is a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE from New York with a healthy 107,000 miles behind it, which is reportedly an all-original car except for the tires, brakes, and windshield. Two keys are included in the sale, as are books and manuals.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is one of the most aspirational midsize luxury cars out there. Aspirational, because many eager motorists aspire to own and drive one at some point in their life. While an S-Class is very much a car to be driven in, the E-Class strikes that perfect balance between a driver’s car and one that is ideal to be chauffeured in. Of course, that applies to the sedan and station wagon; cars such as the E-Class Coupe and Convertible/Cabriolet are very much aimed at those who love to drive. Take this 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 Cabriolet as a prime specimen. It’s a well-adjudged specification, with ample but not excessive power, plenty of comfort features, and a timeless silhouette. Furthermore, it comes to you with under 22,000 miles on the clock, and has undergone a recent service.
When you think of legendary motors, one might think of the legendary R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL. Turn back the clock to the 70s and the birth of what would be Mercedes-Benz second longest running model would take the world by storm and become a classic that's demanded by enthusiasts worldwide. With an almost two decade run and many examples made, finding a clean 70s Mercedes-Benz SL is surprisingly tough to come by. Let's cut out the hunt and present you with this lovely 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL we have today. With a reported 83,900 miles on the clock, this German classic is a clean example ready to take your weekend drives and driveway game up a level.
The famous French designer Paul Bracq deserves a round of applause from all European auto lovers around the globe. He is the creative mind behind Mercedes-Benz's most glamorous and desirable models. Among them, the Pagoda is a cherished example built between 1967 and 1971. The one Pagoda nickname stems from the design of the hardtop roof, which is similar to the roofs of traditional Asian pagodas. It was also called the Mercedes-Benz W 113 and made history as the first sports car with a "safety body." What we have here is a 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL showing just 47,700 miles on its clock. Its owner claims that they are the second owner of this car, and it is mostly original. It currently resides in California and is awaiting its next lucky owner.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
Would you like to own a vehicle that’s a sports car and a pickup truck rolled into one surprisingly stylish package? Well, that’s what the Chevy El Camino has been offering for several years, until it bowed out in 1987. This interesting body style provided the ride quality and handling of a car, paired with some load-lugging capabilities more atypical of pickup trucks. Called the Coupe Utility segment, this would go on to become immensely popular in countries such as Australia and South Africa. So if you’re a Coupe Utility fan, check out this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS with just 5,000 original miles that we’re selling right now. The current owner reports that it’s had a recent oil change, and comes with a maintenance manual, plus an original car cover to keep it safe should you need to park it outdoors.
