1979 Mercedes-Benz 280S

Produced between 1972 and 1980, the W116 wasÂ the first car from Mercedes to officially bear the name “S-class.” Representing the pinnacle of luxury, safety and German engineering in the period, American customersÂ could choose from severalÂ gasoline-powered V8s: a 3.5 liter unit in the 350SE/L, a 4.5 liter unit in the 450 SE/L and a gargantuan 6.9 liter unit in the infamous, high performance 6.9 SEL. But in Europe, the car was also available in base spec as theÂ 280S,Â powered by a carbureted (rather than fuel injected) version of the M110 2.8 liter straight six.

The W123 is a classic car you can use on a daily basis. Produced between 1976 and 1985, theseÂ mid-sized executive sedans set industryÂ leadingÂ standards for safety, passenger comfort and reliability during that time. In fact, the W123 was so rugged that Mercedes took it rallying, scoring a surprise win in the notoriously grueling, 30,000 mile, transcontinental London-Sydney Marathon. The W123’s iconicÂ silhouette remains a common sight on today’s roads – no wonder, since they last forever – and when you see one, there’s no mistakingÂ it for anything other than a classic Mercedes. From 1981 onwardsÂ you could only buy the W123 as a dieselÂ in America. These cars would get you where you wanted to go, but not very quickly.Â Which makes this final year, European import gasoline powered car a tempting option.
