Future Collectible: 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL R107

I don't want to say this too loudly because I might jinx it, but the gorgeous Mercedes-Benz R107 generation SL roadster is probably near the bottom of its depreciation curve.  Prices are cheap, particularly compared to older 60s Benzes with 2-doors but it offers a more sophisticated ride for a bargain price.  The R107 was introduced in 1971 and lasted for an incredibly long 18 years of production and was finally replaced in 1989 by the smoother but less cool looking R129, but if you want a deal on a classic, reliable and drivable 2-seat roadster, the R107 is the way to go.  Find this 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL offered for $7888 in San Rafael, CA via craigslist.

Mercstang or Mustedes:1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL

Some things are just not done. Considered taboo, blasphemy or bad form, they just break traditionally long held beliefs. If you are not a traditionalist and constrained by old notions all bets are off. Throw off the yoke of convention and watch the old guard yell and scream. Take this to a German car show and you will be politely and efficiently asked to leave; to a Ford Mustang meet up maybe they will let you stay hood up. Find this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL/Mustang Cobra engine swapped beast on Craigslist in Indianapolis, Indiana with an asking price of $4,500.00 cash preferred.
