1982 Porsche 911SC Targa

Walking around the neighborhood today, I spotted a Porsche 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet. White with white Fuchs wheels, parked with its top down, it just reminded me of how great the eighties were. This was the decade of my childhood, so maybe it’s a bit extra special to me, but the 911 was a car I aspired to own. Hopefully one day I can fulfill that dream, but as air cooled 911s increase in value, I feel like I’m running after the last train leaving the station. It’s been noted that one of the best air cooled 911s for newbies to the Porsche brand is the 911SC.

The 911SC represented a leap in terms of reliability, with the improved 3.0 liter engine and improved rust proofing over the preceding 2.7 model. The SCs used to be rather affordable, but like the rest of the air-cooled 911 lot, they are climbing in value. This low mileage 911SC Targa with only 55k miles on it is no exception.

1997 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG

Want to go fast but be stealth about it? Mercedes-Benz AMG models have always been a great way to have practicality mixed with insane amounts of power, but today’s models are a bit more telling on their outward appearance with regards to their mission. Their forebears were a bit more conservative, though. Witness this 1997 Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG for sale in Florida with less than 60k miles on the clock. This year was the rarest for what was the first AMG collaboration after the tuner was brought in-house by Mercedes, with only 236 units produced.

Déjà vu: Two more low mileage 560SELs

Last month we featured two very clean Mercedes-Benz 560SELs, the pinnacle of the lineup for Mercedes-Benz at the time. Now another two low mileage examples have come out of the woodwork, for those pining for the good old days. The first 560SEL we’ll take a look at is exactly how I would want mine kitted out, in black over black leather. The W126 design has aged well, blending an even amount of classic and modern touches for a look that would be hard to be improved upon.

1967 Mercedes-Benz 200D Universal

It wasn’t until the late 1970s with the introduction of the W123 T-model that Mercedes-Benz had a proper modern estate in their lineup. However, there were a few limited production examples that saw the light of day in the preceding decades, such as this 1967 200D Universal converted by the Dutch firm I.M.A. Malines. Available in four different models, 200, 200 D, 230 and 230S, these five-door W110s were manufactured between 1965 and 1967. This example for sale in Oregon isn’t perfect, but it runs and would make a good base for a restoration project.

1991 Mercedes-Benz E500 Estate

The 1979 Mercedes-Benz 280CE Convertible we featured yesterday afternoon got me thinking about what other models I wish the company would have contemplated. High up on my list is this tribute that we see here, a 1991 E500 Estate. Technically, we should call it a 500E Estate as the nomenclature change didn’t take hold until the 1994 model year. Regardless of the name, this beefy, modified W124 T-model for sale south of Hamburg has stealth written all over it.
