If you’ve got an older car where the paint is starting to fade or the clearcoat is starting to peel, you’ve got a few options. You could ignore it, or slap some vinyl over it, plasti-dip it, or pay top dollar for new paint…OR you can get a “famous” artist to slap some paint all […]
This next feature is another classic German machine for our Bracq Friday celebration, with an asterisk. While the W111 sedan design of 1959 is attributed to Friedrich Geiger, one can assume that Bracq was involved because he was designed the coupe version for the 1961. The coupes fetch serious money, but you can get a […]
I owned and daily drove a used C36 AMG a few years ago and the car was amazing on many levels. First was the engine, which was scrumptious and offered a meaty powerband with a sonorous exhaust note, but it was certainly let down by a 4-speed slushbox auto. Today’s C36 has been given a […]
If you want an interesting car that had starring role in a classic TV Show…look no further. Today we’ve got a Mercedes-Benz coupe that was driven by the “Soul Collector” in an episode of the Twilight Zone from 1986. It isn’t the most collectable of cars, but if you like “borderline famous” cars, this is […]
The W108 generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been on the DT top ten list for as long as I can remember…well at least since 2013 when we published a W108 market watch article. Today’s example is equipped in a cool vintage shade of white, and it has the super-fun 4-speed manual gearbox option. Find this 1969 […]
I know what you are going to say. We’ve posted a bunch of 80s/90s Mercs on DT recently, but there is a reason. These were extremely well engineered pieces of metal, built when cars were not overly complicated and there are tons of these old beasts sitting around. Daimler built almost 900k examples of the […]
I’ve never been a big fan of these Mustang II based Gazelle styled “neoclassical” kit cars, but a deal is a deal…right? This one seems to be in decent shape for the asking price, but it does have a few tears in the seat and some electrical gremlins. Am I getting soft in my old […]
The W201 Mercedes-Benz C-Class was sold from 1982 through 1993 as a smaller version of the big W124 E-Class sedan. Today’s example even has a 2.3 liter 4-cylinder engine that really looks like a scaled down version of the M103 inline-6, complete with a squared off version of the oblong air filter housing. It is […]
It must be a conspiracy. That is the only logical reason that the R107 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (1971-1989) cars are so cheap. Nothing else this fancy, well-built, sexy, Euro, and 2-door is this cheap. Today’s example is the baddest of the bad — the 560SL, which means you get a drop-top with a 5.6 liter V8 […]
I know what you are thinking. You are thinking that $8k is a lot of money to spend on an aging Mercedes-Benz sedan…and that you think perhaps you want a cheap project version of the same car. Mmmm. That is an interesting idea, but I can tell you (from personal experience) that you are going […]
