For Sale: 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL in Lavergne, Tennessee

This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is part of a timeless luxury tradition. So to find such a well-priced example with desirable features (including the big fuel-injected V8 and a removable hardtop) makes for an irresistible deal.

The Mercedes R107 is one of those cars that just seems to transcend age. You look distinguished driving one no matter if you are in your 20s or 80s. This broad range appeal is especially true on this factory-correct white example. After all, it's nice to have a color as eternal as the car. It also helps that this has been given the right investments, like a quality respray. These Benzs are known for their build quality, and you can see that here as this convertible that still looks crisp with gaps that would be the envy of cars half its age. And as you look over the car, you're going to see some premium details, like polished factory-style wheels and a color-matched removable hardtop.

While the hardtop gives you a coupe-like profile, and the black soft top has an elegant look against the white, we really love these best as convertibles. That's why they made a solid investment in the interior, too, later in life. It means you can share this with the world with pride. Two high-back tan leather bucket seats, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and R134a air conditioning (needs servicing) all make for a comfortable cruiser. And you'll appreciate the little things, like the glossy wood trim and the Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/cassette stereo. The Mercedes safety steering wheel w/airbag feels grippy in your hands, and it gives you a clear view of the full VDO gauge panel with crisp dials for everything, including the speedo and tach.

Under the hood is the 5.6-liter V8. The 560SL was the car to have from the R107 period because it combined a powerful motor with a reputation for bulletproof durability. But all you really need to know is that out on the road this luxury convertible strikes the perfect balance between nimble machine and all-weekend cruiser. That's thanks to a specially engineered fully independent suspension, four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, and four-wheel disc brakes. They all work in harmony to provide a true luxury experience that has been the envy of other carmakers.

Complete with owner's manual, this is the superior classic that begs for the long way home and can carry all the luggage for a weekend getaway. A full wish-list car like this is a great way to treat yourself. Call today!!!
