If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
What is better than a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL? A convertible version of it. On sunny days, you can enjoy a top-down cruise, and in bad weather, you get a hard top to keep you and your cabin protected. Cloaked in silver paint, this 450SL Convertible gleams under the sun with subtle chrome accents around, including exterior badging. The design touches of renowned German automotive designer Friedrich Geiger are unmistakable. This car is shod with Goodride SP06 Radial tires and rides on steel wheels displaying the three-pointed star. Hidden behind them are power disc brakes that provide excellent stopping power to this roadster. This 450SL has a gorgeous red leather interior that contrasts beautifully with the silver exterior. This cabin offers you a fully functioning A/C and AM/FM radio. The dash features wood trimming that adds a touch of sophistication to the interior. The driver is presented with the iconic Mercedes-Benz steering wheel and three large old-school gauges.
As you pop the hood of this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Roadster, its 4.5L V8 engine comes into view. Thanks to up-to-date servicing reported by the current owner, all that is left to do is get in and enjoy the ride. A 4-speed automatic transmission sends power to the wheels. According to the owner, this engine utilizes Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a new battery.

It became an icon of the '70s and '80s and to this date, its beauty has captivated the hearts of all classic auto enthusiasts alike. It was built as a sports car that can be used for continental touring in all weather conditions. Unlike modern vehicles, these classics are built with undeniable solidity.

Up for sale here is a 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL with 121,311 miles on its clock according to its current owner. It boasts a few new components to ensure it runs efficiently.

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.
What do you get if you want a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but with a sportier, coupe-like silhouette? One might point to the E-Class Coupe, but then you counter with “I want four doors”. No worries, Mercedes-Benz’s boffins had anticipated such a request. That’s why the CLS-Class was born 2004, as a four-door coupe-like variant of the E-Class. Three generations were made before the nameplate was retired in 2023, as Mercedes-Benz now offers similar value propositions in other models. This 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 comes from the second generation of the model, and has covered 72,229 miles so far. It’s a well-specified car, with the Premium Package, AMG Line Package, Parking Assist Package, Night Package, and Driver Assistance Package all ticked off. Hence, it’s a great luxury car if you’re looking for something truly sleek and stylish, with a Star on the nose.
If you look at any modern luxury car, its main selling points are its gargantuan screens pasted on the dashboard or its gimmicky self-driving abilities. Go back 30 years, however, and the term Luxury Car meant something completely different. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz S600 Coupe with just 135,238 miles on the clock is a perfect representation. The W140 generation is known as the last overengineered Mercedes, and it really shows.
One of the most popular luxury midsize cars, the Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class, was introduced in 1984. Since then, this sturdy German cruiser has gained a reputation for being the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz’s bulletproof build quality and reliability. It was made as a sedan, coupe, convertible and estate. Up for sale today is a pleasant 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE two-door pillarless coupe with a scant 99,157 miles on the odometer. We say scant because it’s not difficult for these cars to quickly rack up mid or high six-figure mileages. So, if you want a practical modern classic that can possibly outlive you, here’s the golden ticket. The car comes with two keys, the original manual, and is reported to have all servicing done up to date.
If you want to get your hands on a relatively modern Corvette with true classic car potential as time passes by, the fourth generation of Chevy’s runaway hit is a great place to start. Introduced in 1984, the fourth generation, or C4, ran for twelve years. It’s got a great eighties-inspired design, a selection of reasonably modern creature comforts, and performance that is still highly relevant in 2025. Of course if you want your C4 to have a bit more pep, the ZR-1 was the way to go. Introduced in 1990, this variant saw intensive research and development done by Group Lotus of the United Kingdom. Yes, that's the same Lotus that makes lightweight sports cars. That’s why you’re sure to enjoy the driving dynamics of this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 that’s up for sale right now, with just 7,850 miles to its name. It’s definitely a collector’s item with this low mileage, but that doesn’t mean you should bubble wrap and mothball it. Nope, it’s raring to be driven and shown off.
Do you want a muscle car experience in a compact car body? That’s what Plymouth aimed to provide, with the Duster. Made between 1969 and 1976, the Duster was their two-door coupe in the compact car segment. However, Plymouth still endowed it with V8s of varying capacities, ensuring that buyers didn’t get the typically pedestrian performance that came with compact cars. If you’re interested in getting your hands on a Duster, check out this 1970 Plymouth Duster Restomod that’s for sale right now. The car has been completely restored and rocks some neat modern features.
Ford’s Mustang continues to be a runaway sales hit over sixty years later. The starter of the pony car category, the Mustang could be had as a lovely open-topped cruiser, or a potent V8-packing muscle car scarer. One of the more performance-oriented derivatives was the Mach 1. As you may imagine, this was peak Jet Age era, and supersonic travel was an intriguing concept. While your road-going Mustang Mach 1 certainly couldn’t touch the speed of sound or get anywhere near it, it sure was a nice tag to have. Furthermore, the Mach 1 came with a host of cosmetic and performance enhancements. If you’re interested in owning a first-generation Mach 1, here’s a 112,334-mile 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 up for sale. The car has received recent servicing as well.
