Vehicle Description
A terrific color combo, exceptionally low mileage, exceptionally
maintained, and all the best features (including some rare ones)
make this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL the ideal classic for those who
want upper-class distinction.
The factory-correct Silver Pearl looks terrific on this car. Smooth
and glossy, this gives the proper first impression that a premium
vehicle commands. In fact, the whole Mercedes has the look of a
carefully maintained classic. That's what you get on an example
that has averaged less than 950 miles annually. Straight panels,
shining bumpers, and the iconic alloys continue this time
capsule-like presentation. The black folding roof looks good
against the silver, and it coordinates with the black rubber trim
that encircles the car. But when you want true distinction, the
color-matched hardtop has a great coupe-like profile (and it's in
terrific condition inside and out.)
While having both tops is absolutely desirable, the way that you're
going to enjoy this SL the most is with no roof at all. And the
gray leather interior is a nice harmonizing color against the
silver exterior to deliver a very premium European look inside and
out. The low mileage means this all looks good, and it also comes
with all the factory features you want. This includes power
windows, the Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/cassette stereo, and
cold-blowing air conditioning. This is a later-model 560 SL, and so
it even comes with modern feature right from the factory like a
third brake light and a driver airbag. In fact, the only piece
you'll recognize that isn't stock are the rear seats. The American
SLs never were allowed to have them, and so this well-done addition
is instantly recognized by Mercedes people. It makes for a great
conversation starter.
Under the hood is more of that factory-correct presentation that
makes this car great. The 5.6-liter V8 motor is believed to be
original to the car, and looks stock right down to the decals. That
means you have a strong fuel-injected powerhouse that has been
maintained to uphold the stout reputation of Mercedes-Benz. This is
a true grand touring machine, and so the sweet V8 is mated to a
smooth four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Plus, with
power steering and a well-balanced fully-independent suspension,
this is the classic you'll love to drive.
This comes with the right extras, including the owner's manual,
first aid kit, and tool kit. The 560 SL is the Mercedes-Benz that
has exemplified the upper echelon of classics, and this example
upholds that image to the fullest. Call today!!!
