The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has its roots from way back in 1954. Back then, it wasn’t called an S-Class; the S moniker came with the W116 generation of 1972. Produced for eight years, the W116 would be made as a four-door full-size luxury sedan. Interestingly, North America was a key market for the W116, which explains how this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan came to be here. Up for sale with 40,289 miles on the odometer, this car comes with service records, plus its original manuals. It’s also got some new mechanical components to keep it running like it should.
Astral Silver is the color of this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan, and it’s a fantastic hue for a full-size luxury car. After all, you don’t want bright shades when you’ve got a timeless and iconic design to flaunt. The design is the work of the legendary Friedrich Geiger, who is well-known for many of Mercedes-Benz’ iconic '70s models. As a North American market car, you’ll note its sealed-beam headlamps and elongated safety bumpers. However, these do little to detract from the car’s graceful elegance, and of course, its iconic ‘Star perched atop the radiator grille. The cavernous interior of this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan is further aided by the car’s long wheelbase configuration, which is denoted by the L in its full title. You’ll find all the expected luxuries, including functional air conditioning with climate control, power windows, and power mirrors. You’ve also got a Becker Mexico AM/FM radio with a cassette tape player. A closer look at the steering column reveals a dainty stalk for activating the car’s cruise control system. As for the seats themselves, they are covered in blue leather and offer a degree of sink-in comfort that’s simply unavailable in today’s cars. These seats, coupled with the car’s superb suspension system mean that driving or riding in it is like traveling on a cloud.
This 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL Sedan enjoys a 4.5L V8 under the hood, making a factory-rated 190hp and 240lb-ft. A 3-speed automatic transmission is used to drive the rear wheels. We’re told that this car has received a new battery, a new timing chain, new shocks, new bushings, new filters and new valve cover gaskets.

Mercedes-Benz' S-Class has built up a hard-won reputation as the pinnacle full-size luxury sedan over a production run that has its roots in 1951. This particular 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL is one fine example, as it's reportedly been in the same family for all its life. Racking up a healthy 173,121 miles, you'd be hard-pressed to tell; that's how well it's been cared for. Moreover, the car has undergone some refurbishment and restoration work to help keep it as fresh as possible. If you choose to buy this car, you'll be making a very smart decision that your head, as well as your heart, will approve of.
Since 1954, Mercedes-Benz has been producing their Sonderklasse, or Special Class. This is the model that we know of as the S-Class, a model that has redefined the standards for luxury cars and has been first to market with a variety of automotive technologies that are commonplace on today’s cars. What we have here is a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL from the W116 generation, which was the first generation to bear the hallowed ‘S’ designation. Coming to you from Florida with 71,650 miles on the odometer, it’s an ideal opportunity to own a piece of Mercedes-Benz history, as well as a model from the series that was voted European Car of the Year in 1974. A total of 59,578 450 SELs were produced over an eight-year production run.
Over nine decades, Mercedes has given us breathtaking vehicles, from luxury cruisers to potent sports vehicles. They strive not just to deliver a car, but an unforgettable and unparalleled experience. To cater to all enthusiasts alike, they have different divisions specializing in specific areas. The Mercedes-AMG branch is the cool kid out of the lot. It offers powerful and sporty models, and it can easily compete with the top sports car brands. In 2014, they introduced the Mercedes-AMG GT, marking the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. What we brought to you here is a 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe with just 41,500 miles on the clock. Read on to find out more about this stunning ride.
Introduced in 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the result of when German luxury automaker Mercedes-Benz decides to make a tough and capable off-roader. It’s a body-on-frame vehicle, and was initially developed for military use. As time passed by, the usual luxury refinements that Mercedes-Benz is famous for tended to sneak in, with the result being that the G-Class is one of the most opulent ways to go mud-plugging. If that sounds like your kind of thing, consider purchasing this 2020 Mercedes-Benz G550 Stronger Than Time Edition. With under 20,000 miles on the clock, it’s a special 40th Anniversary celebratory edition, and comes with some AMG goodies as a result.
From Ferrari to Aston Martin, it seems that every upmarket automaker is getting into the SUV game lately. And while they all have their merits, very few of them can claim the legendary status and proven heritage of Mercedes’ G Wagon. The G Wagen, also known as the G Class, has been a stalwart in the Mercedes Benz lineup for decades. This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300GD has undergone a two-year restoration after it was imported to the States from Italy. The process has not only returned this G Class to a better than original condition, but has added a bevy of new and improved components.
Volkswagen’s quirky and lovable Transporter, Bus, Microbus, or Kombi is a symbol of the '60s and its movement of peace and love. The T3 generation of the Type 2, as it was internally known, debuted for the 1979 model year and was made right up until 2002 in some countries. With its friendly boxy shape and easy-to-maintain air-cooled flat-four, the T3 became a cult favorite all over the world. So, we’re gladly presenting this 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon Wolfsburg Edition for sale right now. The bus has around 95,000 miles, while the motor was rebuilt at around the 71,000-mile point. The current owner, who is also the original owner of the vehicle, reports that the sale includes the original window sticker of the vehicle.

One of the most striking designs of the Sixties, the third-generation Corvette came in 1968. It was basically a lightly adjusted version of Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark II concept car. This thrilled the American public to no end – after all, it’s not common for a concept car to make it into production without major changes. Even in 2024, the C3 is one of the most sought-after variants, especially cars that were made before the Malaise Era of the '70s. That’s why you’ll no doubt enjoy owning and driving this pre-Malaise 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with just 68,262 miles on the odometer. It’s got the biggest engine for the C3 under the hood, and reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration. It’s also got the tank sticker, NCRS Judging sheets, service invoices and original documentation available.
