If you want to own a luxury Mercedes-Benz that’s a classic but still relatively modern, you can’t go amiss with an R107 example. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 SL-Class is a Hollywood darling and a perfect example of what Mercedes-Benz can do when they set their minds on being the best. What’s more, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is an excellent choice because it’s got a lovely fuel-injected V8 beneath the hood. Packing a mere 98,500 miles, the current owner says that the car has received a new battery and all-new tires too. So, it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.
The dark brown hue that this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL presents itself in is a stunning color. You rarely see cars with this particular shade anymore, and it looks particularly great in bright sunshine. What’s more, the car comes with a body-colored removable hard top for use during the winter months or periods of heavy rain. When the weather is nicer, you can leave this at home and cruise around. Should you need protection, there’s still a soft top present. The beige interior of this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes with features such as air conditioning with climate control, power windows, power mirrors, and a power radio antenna. Meanwhile, the current owner has upgraded the audio system to an aftermarket head unit. This brings Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a USB port and an AUX input. You’ve got a decently-sized trunk behind the two-seat passenger cabin, plus a padded luggage area in the cabin itself, behind the seats. So, you can easily take a cross-country tour in this classic Merc.
Under the hood of this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL lies a 4.5L naturally aspirated V8 with Bosch electronic fuel injection. The factory-quoted figures for the engine are up to 180hp and 220lb-ft. A 3-speed automatic gearbox handles power transfer duties to the rear wheels. Meanwhile, the car comes with double-wishbone front suspension and semi-trailing arm rear suspension for a comfortable ride. Front and rear disc brakes are present for ample stopping power, while the recirculating ball steering provides you with that sense of comfort and easy-riding maneuverability that’s absent from today’s electric racks.

A weekend cruise is best enjoyed behind with an open-top motor; picture the sun setting on your favorite B road, the wind in your hair and the sweet engine tone of your preferred machine roaring past; it truly is the best way to clear off those weekday blues and set you up for a challenging week ahead. When you think of the all-time greats for convertibles, Italian exotics spring to mind, but for those who know, the legendary SL lineup by Mercedes-Benz makes for the perfect balance of performance, drive feel and comfort. Present today is this legendary 1974 Mercedes 450SL Roadster, a legendary machine that has a reported 60100 miles on the clock and the perfect way to tune down and cruise into a busy week ahead.
Looking back at the legendary SL lineup by Mercedes-Benz, it's hard not to fall in love. Each machine is crafted to provide the best in terms of open-top motoring, and no one did it better than the R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL. Built to last and be a status symbol of its time, getting your hands on a factory-clean Mercedes-Benz R107 is practically unheard of, with most examples not seeing the light of day. Present today is a true automotive unicorn and takes form with this lovely 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SL. With a reported 76,000 miles on the clock, this is an all-original example that throws it back to the good old days of open-top motoring; this German classic is reported to sport its original mileage and is all up to date as reported by the current owner.
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.
