The Mercedes-Benz SL has a long and illustrious history dating back to 1954. Arguably, one of the most popular variants was the R107 of 1971-1989. Riding on the coat-tails of its success, the follow-up would need to be spectacular. That's why Mercedes-Benz went all-out with the R129, sporting a fresh Bruno Sacco-penned design, more power, and upgraded technological features. Over thirty years later, cars such as this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL still turn heads. With 74,500 miles since new, this particular R129 isn't a garage queen, nor is it a high miler. Instead, it's a practical and usable collectible that's nearly attained classic status.
Wearing a black and silver two-tone paint job, this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is a timeless automobile, helped by its period alloy wheels. You'll also note the dinky wipers for each headlamp that work in conjunction with the headlight washers to keep them clean. Furthermore, the current owner includes not only the color-matched removable hard top but a cart to safely store it within your garage. When the hard top is not installed on the car, you can always deploy the electrically operated black soft top should the need arise. Inside, we've got a leather and wood-trimmed two-seat cabin with the best creature comforts of the time. These include automatic climate control with a functional heater plus a functional air conditioner. The current owner tells us that the system has undergone an R-134A refrigerant conversion for easier maintenance. You've also got power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, and even cruise control. One minor snafu reported is that the passenger-side power window does not function. An aftermarket JVC AM/FM radio head unit with CD playback has been installed at some point in this car's life.
This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL is powered by an adequately powerful 3.0L in-line six-cylinder engine that developed 228hp when new, and it sends drive to the rear wheels via a 5-speed 5G-TRONIC automatic transmission. The 300SL is also more fuel-efficient than the V8-engined 500SL, another pleasant benefit of this car. Independent suspension all-round ensures that handling is what you'd expect of a top-tier Mercedes-Benz product. Disc brakes on all four wheels with ABS ensure steady stops, while power steering is present too.
Between 1988 and 2001, the R129 series bore the torch of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class legacy.

Sporting iconic and timeless styling by Bruno Sacco, as well as the premium Mercedes-Benz experience, why not net yourself this 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Convertible with a mere 78,000 miles on its odometer? The car comes from Missouri.

The Mercedes-Benz SL-class has represented the pinnacle of two-seat sports cars and grand tourers since Mercedes-Benz introduced the lineup in 1954. While the R107 generation, of which we've sold many, is iconic, what followed in the shape of the R129 took the SL to greater heights. This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster belongs to that generation and comes to you with just 43,700 miles reported by the current owner. One key is also included in the sale.
Mercedes-Benz has a fine array of grand tourers, but if you want a true-blue sports car with a star on its nose, the Mercedes-AMG GT is as fine as they come. Introduced in 2014, the AMG GT is now in its second generation of production. It’s a fearsome two-door fastback coupe with a twin-turbo V8 under its hood. Hence, it makes for a fine car to drive regularly, and we have a 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 for sale right now. This 3,000-mile machine comes with a 469 horsepower 4.0-liter V8, an AMG Speedshift MCT 9-speed automatic gearbox, all-wheel drive and a host of tech features. It’s currenrly available in Dallas.
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class stands in stark contrast to the rest of this iconic German luxury car maker’s offerings. Its boxy, prominent, and can venture off-road with gusto. Introduced in 1979 as a military machine on the request of the Shah of Iran, civilian variants emerged in 1979. Since then, the G-Class has gained the typical Mercedes-Benz luxury features and technological highlights, but maintains its immense off-road capabilities. This 2019 Mercedes-Benz G550 is one fine example and it’s up for sale in Salt Lake City, Utah. With 94,604 miles on it, you can tell that it’s meant to be driven. Plus, given its off-road abilities, this is the perfect family vehicle for the outdoors-loving crowd.
The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
