Bargain W112 Coupe: 1965 Mercedes-Benz 300SE

This car seems way, way too cheap. Tell me I’m wrong or if I’m missing an obvious flaws, but a W112 coupe should be selling for $20,000 or better in this condition. The seller says that it’s his dad’s… more»

North Pole Find: 1967 Unimog 404

Parked for 40 Years: 1952 Mercedes-Benz 300 Adenauer

When we think of vintage Mercedes-Benz vehicles, it’s easy to jump right to the exotic 300SL Gullwing or thundering 6.9L V8 sedans. However, older Mercedes products that weren’t the pinnacle of sports cars for their day or the most… more»

Still a Bargain: 2001 Mercedes-Benz SL500

Diesel-Powered Mini Bus: 1975 Mercedes-Benz O 309 D

This 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL500, now offered on Barn Finds, represents the golden era of Mercedes-Benz engineering—when style, performance, and longevity were combined in one timeless package. With just 57,000 miles, this Atkinson, New Hampshire–based example is a low-mileage, garage-kept… more»

Limo Project: 1986 Mercedes-Benz 500SEL

To me, one of the more intriguing projects to take on is an old limo. Now, not just your run-of-the-mill Town Car or Cadillac, but something more exotic. We’ve all seen the random Porsche 911 stretch, or the Corvette… more»

Crayford Wagon Conversion: 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SEL

No Reserve: 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D California Edition

The Mercedes 300D is a good reminder that mileage figures are relative. An unrepaired Jaguar XKE with over 100k on the clock is rare. A 300D that’s traveled the same distance is barely broken in, and other than routine… more»

Senna’s Daily Driver: 1985 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16v Cosworth

As with almost any sport, the question of who is (or was) the greatest Formula 1 driver of all time will always ignite debate. If raw statistics are the determining factor, it is hard to look beyond Lewis Hamilton… more»

Arctic White On Red: 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL
