Harley Earl's successor Bill Mitchell oversaw the new Sting Ray which, in 1963, looked like a dream car which you could actually buy. Its dramatic boattail rear end and humped fenders inspired the name. For the first year only, there was a 'split' rear window, so these cars are rare.
However, many owners of '63 cars cut out the window bar to make them look up-to-date, only to put them back in - along with many owners of younger cars - when rarity pushed prices up, so beware. Huge power from big block V8 options. The Sting Ray or C2 is much in demand these days.
Available as a 350, 450, 380, or 560 SL, the Mercedes-Benz R107 is a great way to look rich without having to break the bank. When properly maintained, they’ll run forever, and they’re quickly moving in status from “I made too much last year” to “I have a classic antique.”
Every week Collector Car Price Tracker will have a featured car for which you may search the database on a complimentary basis, as an introduction to the tool.
