VW Kombi Van Seeing Resurgence in Popularity

The Volkswagen Kombi van reached iconic status, with even a school lunch box fashioned in its image. During those early years, the Volkswagen Microbus morphed into various forms. From a cargo carrier with no windows behind the driver's seat to a windowed passenger van with three rows of seats, the possibilities seemed endless.

Classic Car Overview

This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is a true design icon from its era now offered at no reserve. The Light Ivory exterior brings unique appeal, especially when paired with the stunning Burgundy interior. The massive 5.6-liter V8 provides more than adequate power for highway driving, with a 4-speed automatic transmission ideal for a smooth ride. Two configurations are available, with a removable body-color hardtop and a canvas soft top provided. An aftermarket radio from Alpine can be found inside the cabin, while a standard drivers side airbag and third brake lamp are unique to US-market models. Despite a well-traveled history in two countries, it remains in great condition, thanks in part to its garage-kept history as part of an executive collection.

As a top-end Mercedes-Benz, many of the technological innovations we appreciate today were included as standard on the 560SL. A limited-slip differential, 4-wheel disc brakes, and fully independent suspension are a formality today but nearly 40 years ago were seen as cutting-edge. The aforementioned V8 was the most powerful of the third-generation SL-Class and was only offered in North America from 1986 to 1989. The deeper front air dam and revised brake system add to the desirability, as design changes that were made to late 1986 and subsequent models.

Featuring a color combination unseen in the modern automotive market, convertible flexibility, and refined V8 power, this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL checks all the boxes for a proper classic, now offered at no reserve. Please note, this vehicle is located in Ontario, Canada. The buyer is responsible for all importation documentation and fees if exporting from Canada.
