1951 Mercedes-Benz 170S

1951 Mercedes-Benz 170S

The Mercedes-Benz W136 was a car that started production, took a little break for something called World War II, then started back up production and carried on its merry way. This 1951 170S for sale in California is a car that was on the post-war production side of things and surprisingly it still something you can drive everyday if you really wanted. (I do not recommend driving a W136 everyday.) Despite being a 1930s design, under the skin was a relatively modern design with independent suspension and a top speed that could hang with highway traffic — although firmly in the right lane.

Tuner Tuesday: 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300E AMG 6.0 ‘Hammer’

Tuner Tuesday: 1988 Mercedes-Benz 300E AMG 6.0 ‘Hammer’

You probably know all about the W124 AMG ‘Hammer’ cars by now. A normal 300E that was transformed by then independent company AMG into a four-door monster thanks to the punched-out 6.0 liter M117/9 and various other à la carte options depending on the owners desires. They didn’t call these cars the ‘Hammer’ for nothing with 375-ish horsepower and even more torque. Because of this, the values have held strong at nearly 10 times and sometimes even more than what you’d pay for a normal W124 300E. When one of these cars come up for auction, it’s usually a big deal. This 1988 Hammer heading to the block at the end of the month will probably fetch a pretty penny, despite what Sotheby’s is predicting. So let’s check this monster out:

While I may not write about them very often I actually love a vintage Mercedes. Many of the designs possess those timeless characteristics that make so many vintage automobiles desirable and perhaps none more so than the Pagoda. The SL has long showcased the sort of sleek lines and elegant styling that make people want to put the top down and be seen. Andrew has featured a few of these of late, but I hope our readers can allow for another (and I promise I haven’t just featured this one because there’s a 911 GT3 RS in the background). The one we see here, a Black 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL with Cognac interior, comes from the final year of their production and looks invitingly ready to be enjoyed.

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SE

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SE

Published November 6, 2016 by Craig

1The other day I wrote up a Euro-Spec 190E 2.3-16, noting that the seller must have good taste in cars since there was a W126 pictured in the background. It turns out that W126 is also for sale. It’s a 300SE. These are my favorite old Benzes. Imposing and timeless, these old S-classes still look beautiful today and remind you of an era when Mercedes built stately cars of bank-vault solidity. It’s a real treat to see one in mint condition, which is not that uncommon. Many of the original, wealthy owners have held on to these since new and maintained them at whatever cost necessary. Looking like it just rolled out of the factory, this appears to be such a car.

2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG with 400,000 miles

2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG with 400,000 miles

I usually don’t think twice when I see a Mercedes with a ton of miles on it. But I started thinking a lot more than twice when I saw a W211 E55 AMG with over 400,000 miles for sale. As I started digger deeper into this wunderkind, the story got even wilder. This E55 had a single owner its entire 400,000 mile life and managed to get into two accidents in that time with one severe enough to deploy the airbags. So obviously this W211 for sale outside of Chicago deserves a deeper look, so let’s try to make sense of this one.
