24-YEARS-OWNED 1987 MERCEDES-BENZ 560SL 2+2

OVERVIEW

This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL has been with the current owner for 24 years. According to the selling dealer, it has been impeccably maintained and it looks almost like it left the Mercedes factory last week. It is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 backed by a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include power steering, power ABS brakes, power locks and windows, cruise control, heated seats, air conditioning, 2+2 seating, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, and a power antenna. Finished in Arctic White and equipped with a blue canvas soft top over a blue leather interior, this Mercedes comes from the selling dealer with a body-color hardtop, tool kit, rear wind deflector, owner's booklets, a clean CARFAX report, and a clear title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

The exterior is reportedly finished in the factory-applied Arctic White. Features include chrome bumpers with black trim, a chrome grille with a black insert, dual mirrors, side accent stripes, a manual blue canvas convertible top with plastic rear windows, and a power antenna. A full walk-around video can be seen below.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

A set of 15-inch Gullideckel wheels is wrapped in 205/65R15 Michelin radial tires. The selling dealer states the tires should be replaced due to their age.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The heated front bucket seats and the optional rear seats are upholstered in blue leather. Features include power steering and locks, power windows, cruise control, air conditioning, an AM/FM/cassette stereo with a power antenna, a driver-side airbag, a center console-mounted automatic transmission shifter, and woodgrain trim. The selling dealer states that the air conditioning was serviced in 2023.

A 170-mph speedometer, a 7,000-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 85,859 miles, which the selling dealer reports as accurate. The last reported mileage of 85,410 was logged in the CARFAX report in July 2022.

Power is provided by an M117 fuel-injected 5.5-liter V8 and backed by a four-speed automatic transmission.

This R107 SL was factory-equipped with a double-wishbone front suspension and a rear diagonal swing axle. Braking is provided by power four-wheel discs with ABS. The exhaust exits at the rear through dual outlets. The selling dealer reports that some surface rust is present.
