The legendary Mercedes-Benz W123 series was made between 1975 and 1986. In fact, nearly 2.7 million examples found grateful owners in countless countries across the globe. Even today, one can easily find W123s running in certain countries, doing taxi or family transportation duties in a reliable and dependable manner. The W123 was made in sedan, estate, coupe and limousine forms. This particular 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is a coupe, and it’s fresh from a restoration that took eight years to finalize, as reported by the current owner. We’re told that everything was sourced from Germany, and that the only thing that remains to be addressed is the air conditioning. So, even though this car has traveled over 95,000 miles, it’s just been given a new lease of life, and you could be its lucky owner.
We’re told that this newly-repainted 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD has received new rubber components and new seals everywhere. Hence, you can consider it to be nearly factory fresh, in all its glory. The black paint brings out the timeless Bruno Sacco and Friedrich Geiger-penned styling that still looks fresh in 2024. Speaking of fresh, the car rides on fresh rubber courtesy of new tires, and we’re told that it’s also got new moldings and new chromework everywhere. Clearly, no expense was spared with restoring this classic Teutonic machine. The tan interior of this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is, you guessed it, a new OEM interior as we’ve been told. Able to swallow up four adults with ease, you’ll definitely enjoy the unparalleled comfort of those plush, leather-upholstered seats. Then, you have the classic-styled Mercedes-Benz analog gauge cluster, and center stack with a period-correct Becker Europa radio cassette player. Remember that the air conditioning isn’t functional yet, but that’s likely all you’ll have to do when you buy this car.
Packing a sturdy 3.0L in-line five-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is a gentle cruiser that can keep going for hours and hours. It’s got the original engine and automatic transmission, but enjoys a new rear axle, a new fuel gauge sending unit, new control arms and new bushings.

The legendary W123 series from Mercedes-Benz is renowned for offering a solid and reliable sedan, estate, or limousine for those who desire it. In fact, over 2.3 million sedans were produced and nearly 200,000 estates. But did you know that they also produced a coupe variant? Less than 100,000 were produced, and this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300CD is a prime example. This lovely example has just 45,000 miles on the odometer and has been recently serviced to ensure reliable and dependable use.
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.
