Mercedes-Benz SL-Class W113
Why it qualifies
The 'Pagoda' SL — named for the concave hardtop. Bruno Sacco-era design, inline-six, 4-speed manual available. 280SL (1967-71) is the most desirable — revised engine and rare 5-speed ZF manual.
Watch out for
- Frame rust at rocker-to-floor junctions
- Head gasket on early M127 (230SL)
- Manual transmission rare — premium over auto
- Originality is king for values
