1986 Mercedes Benz 560 SL

We are offering a classic, beautifully maintained 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, finished in Light Ivory on the exterior and featuring a Palomino interior.

History and Model Significance
The 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL represented the last major update to the R107 generation, which began in 1972 with the 450SL. This model introduced a larger, more powerful V8 engine and brought enhancements such as a new rear suspension, anti-lock brakes (ABS), a limited-slip differential, a drivers side airbag, and standard leather upholstery. The federally mandated high-mounted third brake light was also added, positioned on the trunk.

Performance
Power comes from a Bosch fuel-injected 5.5-liter/338 cubic inch V8 delivering 227 bhp, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Motor Trend measured a 0-60 mph time of 6.8 seconds, while Road & Track reported 7.5 seconds-making the 560SL over three seconds quicker than the 380SL .
Pricing
At the start of the 1986 model year, the 560SLs base price was $48,200-equivalent to about $143,700 today, which is just below the price of a 2026 AMG SL 55 convertible. By year-end, the base price had increased to $53,730.

Features and Equipment
