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.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class nameplate is most popularly seen upon the company’s four-door midsize luxury sedan offering, and has been the case for decades. But did you know that Mercedes-Benz also offers coupe and convertible choices? These have sometimes been marketed under different model designations. The first of the E-Class badged coupes and convertibles came about in 2010, with the C207 and A207. These took over from the Mercedes-Benz CLK. The series got a facelift for the 2013 model year, and this 2014 Mercedes-Benz E550 Convertible is a prime example of a post-facelift car. With 41,000 miles and all servicing up to date, it’s a fine boulevard cruiser and can easily serve as your daily driver, too.
What was the finest full-size luxury car that one could buy in the '80s? Many would say that it was the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class. Produced between 1979 and 1991 as a sedan and wagon, the W126 is considered to be the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz in the 20th century. It’s no surprise that many discerning petrolheads would relish the chance to own and drive a W126 – because it’s a car that’s meant to be driven and enjoyed, not secreted away in a climate-controlled storage facility. So, we’re proud to make one lucky petrolhead’s dream come true, with this 96,000-mile 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL up for sale right now. Act fast, because W126s don’t hang around, and particularly not when they’re in great condition like this one.
The 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL Sedan is from the second generation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz S-Class line. The W126 is so far the most successful and the longest in production generation of the iconic S-Class. The W126 project was led by Mercedes-Benz Chief designer Bruno Sacco who aimed to make the new S-Class more aerodynamic, efficient and retain the unmistakable design elements that makes the S-Class an S-Class. The weight was significantly cut down by extensive use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) sheets and polyurethane deformable material for the bumpers and side claddings. Lighter alloy material was used for the heavily revised 5.6-liter M117 V8 engine that this Mercedes-Benz 560SEL houses. It is also the biggest engine that you could have had with a W126 S-Class. Our featured car has a total of 80,000 miles on the odometer. We’re told this particular model has been treated to new parts and has had the front end completely rebuilt as reported by the current owner.
The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.
Chevy’s El Camino is iconically known for its coupe utility body style. Basically, the coupe utility combines the ride comfort and handling of a car’s monocoque construction with the versatility of a pickup truck. Adapted from a Chevy two-door station wagon, the El Camino appeared in 1959, to compete with Ford’s Ranchero. Five generations of El Camino were made until 1987 when the nameplate was quietly retired. If you’ve always been intrigued by this pastiche of coupe and pickup truck, consider picking up this 1980 Chevrolet El Camino as your next classic. This 53,500-mile example comes to you with all maintenance reportedly up to date, so it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.
