1987 Mercedes 560SL With Only 5,936 Miles!

Sometimes a classic will appear on our desks at Barn Finds that is so extraordinary it almost defies description. This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is one such vehicle. Its presentation is almost flawless, which is understandable since it has… more»

Turbo Diesel S-Class: 1987 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL

This great-looking Benz combines some of the best-ever Mercedes components into what feels like a bank vault on wheels (yes, I have experience). After chatting with the owner this morning I’m convinced I’d like to own this car; if… more»

5-Speed Pagoda: 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL

The seller of this Mercedes-Benz W113 “Pagoda” has experienced some challenges lately that are forcing the sale of this partially restored example, which is notable for being a rare 5-speed manual example. An unfortunate barn fire has shifted priorities… more»

37K and No Reserve: 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK 350

If you’re like me, you and your fellow car enthusiasts likely spend a fair amount of time lamenting how modern cars are a pain to fix and far more complicated than the models that came before it. I am… more»

Rare AMG Package: 1979 Mercedes-Benz 500 TE AMG Estate

I try not to use the term “badass” too often as it is certainly an adjective that gets thrown around a lot. But when it comes to an AMG-modified W123 wagon, it’s hard to think of another superlative that… more»

Ford V8 Restomod! 1970 Mercedes-Benz 250

The W114 was Mercedes-Benz’s designation for six-cylinder sedans and coupes in production from 1968 to 1976. These vehicles were marketed as the 230, 250, and 280 – depending on engine size. The seller’s car once had a 2.5-liter inline-6,… more»

Low-Miles Turbo Diesel: 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D

Competition improves the breed, and nowhere is that phrase more accurate than within the automotive industry. It would be fair to say that American luxury car manufacturers became complacent during the late 1960s and early 1970s, focusing more on… more»

European Delivery Diesel: 1975 Mercedes-Benz 240D

Can the provenance of a car convince you to buy a make or model you might not otherwise consider? I will freely admit to being at least swayed by a car’s story if it’s in the general ballpark of… more»

Luxurious One-Owner Wagon: 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300TE

One of the family-hauler designs I miss frequently spotting on the roads is the tried and true station wagon, with Mercedes-Benz being no stranger to this marketplace.  The company produced its fair share of fine offerings over the years,… more»

Champagne Long Roof: 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD Wagon

The W123 series Mercedes-Benz remains one of the most recognizable classics of the modern era, with its handsome styling and ridiculously overbuilt qualities. The wagon body has long been a favorite of anyone who enjoys a good “long roof”… more»

Final Year Model: 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

The R107-series Mercedes-Benz remains an attainable classic by all accounts, and you can get into a very nice example for reasonable money (at least compared to the bulk of the classic car marketplace at the moment.) While there was… more»

Diesel Flatbed Find: 1980 Mercedes-Benz L-1116

As I’ve shared before, I have a mild fascination with old Mercedes-Benz trucks. I still want to own an old Unimog someday, and as much as it pains me to admit this, I also want this yard-find 1980 L-1116… more»

Bargain Benz? 43k Mile 1993 Mercedes 190E

The Mercedes-Benz W201 model series is an excellent entry point into classic Benz ownership that won’t break the bank. The Bruno Sacco-designed four-door has aged well, and while the hot ticket 2.3-16 and rare Sportline models trade hands for… more»

Rare Color Combo: 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

When it comes to the R107-chassis Mercedes-Benz models, you’d be forgiven if you don’t get particularly excited when one comes up for grabs. However, there’s an important distinction that must be made, and here it is: because they are… more»

Long-Term Owner: 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing

You know you’re talking about a special car when the description includes the chassis number – as in, “Targa Florio class-winner, chassis 3413…”, or here on eBay, where we are entertaining “Mercedes-Benz …  chassis 5500733…” This car is a… more»

Heritage Kit Replica: 1934 Mercedes-Benz 500K

For a car that was sold in exceedingly limited quantities and has some negative historical connotations around it, the Mercedes-Benz 500K sure gets copied a lot. Some of them are quite awful, too, with proportions that make next to… more»
