Older Mercedes sedans seem to be one of the better bargains of the classic car world. Generally straightforward and durable cars, these could also be considered to be an alternative to the significantly more expensive SLs. The /8 coupes in particular share some styling cues with the SL, including the Pagoda-style roof with inset metal trim strips, and of course the tall headlights in a similar style. While they’re not fun to drive in the sense a BMW of the same era can be, a person who argues that point will say any similar car (see Volvos, non-turbo Saabs, Lancia sedans) are also no fun. Check out this 1970 Mercedes 250C for sale in Van Nuys, CA with bidding at $1150 and 20 hours to go.
