Classic Car Overview
Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you today this exquisite 1989 Mercedes Benz 560 SL. This German beauty is a stunning example of the final year of the legendary R107 series, and it boasts just 29,154 actual miles! Over the past 6 years, this Mercedes has been meticulously restored to a very high level and has also been upgraded with some European flair. It sits before us today dressed in a very high-quality respray (done in 2018) of dark gray metallic paint that looks fantastic. There have been several modifications made to this car that really make it stand out from the crowd. Both front and rear bumpers have been upgraded to the European versions, with more chrome showing on the sides and no obnoxious rubber bumperettes that were required on US exports. The quad headlights have been replaced as well, with the more attractive and sleek single lights on each side. The taillights have also been replaced with their more appealing European counterparts. Lastly, the third brake light on the trunk lid has been deleted. Taken as a whole, these changes make a noticeable improvement to what is already a gorgeous car. Brightwork is plentiful and in excellent condition with some pieces having been replaced with new ones (evidenced by restoration receipts). The removable hardtop is in like-new condition and there is a stand and cover for it in the trunk. Under the hood, youll find a totally stock engine bay with the original 5.6 liter V-8 at its center. The 227hp V-8 is mated up to a 4-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Stopping power comes from 4-wheel power disc brakes with ABS. Moving upward youll find the climate control system which offers cold A/C (134A upgraded) and hot heat, then a Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/Cassette stereo. The top of the dash is a crack-free black vinyl that is a nice contrast to the tan and woodgrain trim beneath. Ahead of the driver is a leather-wrapped steering wheel with an airbag and Mercedes logo. Also on the column are controls for the 3-speed wipers and cruise control. The gauge cluster offers a 160mph speedometer, tachometer with 6K redline, a working clock, and gauges for fuel, temp, and oil. Back in the carpeted trunk is the factory first aid kit and a car cover (in addition to the aforementioned top stand and cover). Also in the trunk is a folder of receipts for work dating back to 2017. In 2018, roughly $50K was invested into the car! When the car was purchased in 2021, it was taken to Crown Eurocars Dublin here in Columbus, Ohio where it underwent another $10K of work including (but not limited to) a new rear main seal, valve cover gaskets, power steering pump & coupling, parking brake cable, tire rotation & alignment, and full service of the following: oil & filter, brakes, cooling system, transmission, rear differential, plugs, fuel filter, and air filter. Since this service, only 47 miles have been put on the car! This Mercedes is ready to hop in, turn the key, and cruise down the road with confidence. 560 SLs with mileage this low are hard to find, let alone one with all of the highly desirable European elements! If youre looking for a truly special R107 Mercedes then this one will stop you in your tracks!
