Mercedes 450SLCWhile historically it may have been commonly associated with pricey luxury status, the Mercedes brand is becoming more and more attainable as time goes by. The German car manufacturer produced the 450SLC — C107 two-door coupes from 1971 to 1980, and now, 50-odd years later, they can be had for affordable prices. Unlike the other coupes in our list, this car is a beast, coming with a standard 4.5-liter, fuel-injected eight-cylinder motor, putting out 230 horsepower. However, the car's power went down as the years progressed due to fuel-injection systems and federal regulations, with the last model putting out a measly 160 horsepower.Gas mileage notwithstanding, there is enough heft here to dig out of corners, though with a total weight of 3,679 pounds, they are not so light on their feet. The 450SLC came with a three-speed automatic transmission as standard — unfortunately, it was never offered in a manual configuration. As such, this could be considered more of a comfortable touring car, and not something you would punch up and down coastal roads while surfing the gearbox. The cars were offered with optional hard-top convertible configurations, now going for even lower prices than the standard models. The mid-to-late 1970s seem to be a sweetspot for deals; you could likely source your own classic 450SLC for around $7,000 to $9,000 with some digging online.
