Lots of power, a lightweight chassis, and timeless style - that’s the magic of the Mercedes-Benz SL (Super Licht) tag. Starting with the legendary 300SL “Gullwing” and roadster, this 1974 450SLC Mercedes-Benz marked the third-generation of the iconic SL lineup. It was considerably expensive compared to its competition at the time, but the few who could afford a SL knew they were getting a superbly-built, designed and German engineered automobile, as well as one of the safest cars ever made in the ‘70s. A total of 237,000 SL’s were built but only 62,000 SLC’s were reportedly made making this 1974 Mercedes-Benz a rare car to own, especially in this condition. It was the SLC that Mercedes chose for their rally car, and surprisingly as a sumptuous personal coupe, it finished second of the 1979 WRC Drivers Championship in the hands of Hannu Mikkola. Carrying the legacy of the SLs, the current owner has taken good care of the car, reportedly keeping most of this Mercedes-Benz SLC to OEM condition, with a mere 52,000 miles clocked on the odometer.
Just like its fresh out of the factory, this 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SLC comes with a tasteful blue exterior. You get round sealed beam headlights that were only unique to the North American market due to unique U.S regulations. The front and rear bumpers are the lengthier versions of the 450SLC by a dramatic 8 inches, also unique to the North American market. This SLC stands out from the rest, as one of the most iconic Mercedes-Benz features even used today on S-class models are the pillarless windows, followed by stylish rear quarter window slats. Inside the blue interior has been kept to tip top condition, as the cabin has been entirely replaced with OEM parts a couple of years ago as reported by the owner.
Under the hood of this 1974 450SLC is a 4.5-litre V8 German engine that is capable of producing 222 hp and 377 Nm of torque, mated to a 3-speed automatic that sends out power to the rear wheels only. Double wishbones, coil springs, and a stabilizing bar for the front suspension and diagonal swing axle, coil springs, and a stabilizing torsion bar for the rear suspension. An all new fuel system including the fuel pump, fuel lines and additionally the fan have been newly installed as reported by the current owner.

Mercedes-Benz rings the bells of sophistication married with luxury in automobiles and the fine artisanship of German reliability. As time prepressed, cars were no longer a transportation plaything or a platform to showcase works of art. Safety of the passengers played a critical part in producing cars. Mercedes-Benz presented the 450SLC that perfectly embodies what those modern standards stood for. Also, it belonged to the Benzes' prestigious SL line of vehicles. Meaning Super Lightweight, the SL moniker was borne by the mightiest Mercedes sports cars since the iconic SL300 was introduced to the world. Since then, the following series of high performance SL sports cars enjoyed heaps of success, and most are now popular classics. We are pleased to bring this desirable 1974 Mercedes Benz 450SLC to you, which is located in New York. This prestigious two-seater touring car displays 52,000 miles on its odometer and comes with a new OEM leather Interior.
Mercedes-Benz’ compact luxury car offering, the C-Class has been around for ages. Decades, really. In 2008, the W204 generation was introduced, and ran for seven years. Produced as a sedan, wagon and coupe, it’s no surprise that AMG got their mitts on it as well. Cue up this 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series as proof. The car comes with AMG Performance Media, less than 10,000 miles, and a Eurocharge Stage 1 tune to make it even more appealing. Furthermore, it’s on sale by its original owner.

Chevy’s Impala was the famous Bowtie automaker’s full-size offering for many years. It appeared sporadically between 1957 and 2020 and made it across ten generations. The Impala is named, as you may suspect, after the African antelope of the same name. It quickly won favor with the American auto-loving public due to its diverse array of body styles and, of course, V8 power. Up for sale today is a third-generation 1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubbletop Restomod, which reportedly packs 45,000 original miles. But, it’s received a comprehensive do-over, more power, and some modern comfort features.

The De Ville name was first introduced as a standalone model range in 1959 and would remain a significant part of the Cadillac lineup up till 2005. The 4th generation came in 1971, and every subsequent year brought styling changes until the smaller 5th generation was released in 1977. 1974 brought changes to the front end (like a new grille and a new headlamp layout), and the introduction of a new option; the Air Cushion Restraint System (what is now known as airbags) for both front-seat occupants. It was, however, a costly option that didn’t prove popular among buyers and was discontinued after 1976. A 1971 Coupe De Ville reportedly came 3rd in the Cannonball Run, averaging 84.6mph and 8.9mpg.
