Vehicle Description
A terrific color combo, low mileage, and all the best luxury
features make this well maintained/preserved 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560
SL the ideal classic for those who want upper-class
distinction.
The factory-correct dark gray looks glossy yet sophisticated. 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 about
1,700 miles annually. Straight panels, shining bumpers, and an
overall sturdiness of lasting German quality. The black folding
roof looks good against the dark gray paint, 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.
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
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,
power locks, and power seats. Plus, there are nice upgrades, like
the AM/FM/CD stereo and the air conditioning is now blowing cold
with modern R134a. It's the kind of classic that you'll want to
really take on the long road trips, and a later R107 SL like this
inspires that kind of confidence. Not only are they robustly built
for safety, but also you get more modern features like the third
brake light and a driver airbag.
Under the hood is more of that factory-correct presentation that
makes this car great. The 5.6-liter V8 motor is numbers-matching
unit, and looks stock right down to the decals. In fact, this
example is coming off of long term ownership. It has been well-kept
right down to the details, like newer wires and hoses. 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, four-wheel power disc brakes, and a well-balanced
fully-independent suspension, this is the classic you'll love to
drive.
The sale comes complete with documentation such as the original
warranty card, owner's manual, and service manuals. It also comes
with nice accessories like a car cover and a stand for the hardtop.
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!!!
