1984 Mercedes-Benz 500SL

The Mercedes-Benz SL series started out as the top of the line sports luxury tourer that offered both performance and comfort. The third generation SL was called the R107 chassis and is one of the most recognizable Mercedes of all time. Produced from 1971 all the way to 1989, the R107 lived a long and cherished life. The United States was an extremely popular market for the personal luxury coupe and almost of all SLs were sold here. Unfortunately, US regulations mandated big bumpers, low power headlights, and emission choked engines. While not as quick or pretty as their European cousins, the US market SLs still represented the cream of the personal luxury car crop.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1984 Mercedes 500 SL. This particular example is a Euro Roadster. The car spent much of its life in Florida before it came to Michigan. Once brought back to Michigan, the owner had a new interior installed and it is in excellent condition. The fuel injection was also re-done at this time. The SL has new exhaust and rides on 560 wheels. The German delivery cars had a rear spoiler and the owner removed it because it made waxing it easier. The car runs and handles very well. We took it for a test drive and did notice that the odometer is not turning over as it should. The car is very neat and tidy throughout and is a must have.
