Vehicle Description
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL mixes plenty of personal touches with
all the right luxury you expect from the highest echelon of Benz.
That means this bold convertible gives you a luxury AC interior,
plenty of fuel-injected V8 power, and even both tops to enjoy with
this convertible.
This Mercedes has the instant appeal of custom touches. There's
stainless trim on the lower doors that connect with the upgraded
wheel arches to deliver plenty of extra shine. The grille, door
handles, and rear have also been given added brightwork, so this
seems like the right one for a sunny day drive. Plus, the updated
15-inch aftermarket alloys have a similar style to the wheel you
get on a modern Mercedes, so it gives this one an added touch of
distinction while still respecting its lineage. But even when you
strip away the extra flair there's still a ton of appeal from one
of the most stylish cars around that was built to be robust. You
see this quality in the way the factory panels line up and the
doors close with authority. After all, beneath the added flash,
it's still a Benz.
The color-matched hardtop gives this a terrific coupe-like profile,
and the newer (2015) tan folding roof is a timeless color against
the red paint. But even with all this appeal, we know your favorite
way to enjoy this 560SL is with no roof at all. So it's great to
have such a good-looking interior to share with the world. Mercedes
knew how to provide the ultimate luxury for two. That means nicely
bolstered leather bucket seats with well-engineered head rests and
an armrest in-between. The glossy wood center section houses luxury
features like power windows, an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo, and your
controls for cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. Plush carpeting,
a tilt steering column, power steering, power locks, and plenty of
storage behind the seats complete a well-done package for easy
anytime enjoyment. And because this is from the final year of the
R107 model SL's production, you get safety features not everyone
else received, including a driver airbag, their brake lights, and
anti-lock brakes.
Under the hood is an exceptionally clean presentation of the
legendary Mercedes fuel-injected V8. We have a long ownership chain
for this 5.6-liter unit, and so it's believed to be original to the
car. The current owner has had this from 2015, and had put barely
over 1k miles on it over that time. He has been quite good with the
maintenance, including keeping a correct record that includes all
the details, right down to new transmission gear linkage grommets,
new valve rocker cover gaskets, transmission shift modulator vacuum
line, and new belts. It makes for a great classic the fires up
easily and runs strong. That's exactly what you want in a 560SL,
because these are classics that are still terrific for the open
road. The fully independent suspension, four-speed automatic
transmission w/overdrive, and four-wheel disc brakes make for a
great choice for your grand tour.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records and the owner's
manual. This Mercedes represents added flair and great care. So
don't miss your chance. Call now!
