1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

1987 Mercedes Benz 560SL The SL variant of the Mercedes Benz, also known as the R107, was introduced in April 1971. The North American market was key for these personal luxury cars where nearly two thirds of their production would end up being sold. In the 80s more powerful versions started being made and interestingly the 500SL is actually not available to the US. This required many customers to acquire the cars through the gray market and convert them to meet Federal mandates. This option was eventually eliminated by Congress in 1988. The most powerful version available in the US was the 560SL which was produced from 1986-1989. This 1987 is a nice solid car and painted in a Gloss Black. It has both its removable hardtop and the Black soft top. All of the original style chrome accents and trim pieces are in place with a nice finish. The glass is all good throughout and tinted. The car rides on a set of 16 inch chrome 7 spoke wheels with Goodyear Assurance tires. As indicated by the 560SL name this car is powered by the largest motor available, the 5.6L. The motor is paired with a 4 speed automatic transmission and runs well. The suspension, brakes, and drive train are all very stock. The interior of the car features Black upholstery and is in good condition. It has dual bucket seats and you will note there is no rear seat which was a common factory ordered feature. The dash of the car is mostly stock but an aftermarket Kenwood stereo has been added as well as a CD changer. It has all of its stock wood grain trim and a carpeted dash pad has been put in place to keep it protected. The trunk is nicely carpeted and offers plenty of extra storage space. This car was previously in Arizona prior to coming to Texas and it has a total of 91,132 original miles. This cool classic luxury car could be yours for $14,500.00!
