Vehicle Description
This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL has the right care, good mileage, and
the right hints of upgrades. Plus, the color combo is one that we
rarely see, but you can instantly tell it portrays the best in
upper-class desire.
Dark blue has a timeless sophistication that makes for a stand-out
Benz. Not only is this the factory-correct color, but it's also
believed to be the factory application. It retains a nice gloss 35+
years later to make sure it showcases the well-respected and
well-engineered body. Both the folding soft top and optional
hardtop are done in dark blue. So you have an attractive and
coordinated style if you're just looking for quick weather
protection or want a coupe-like profile. Plus, the interior tan is
exceptionally stylish for when you want to go with no roof at all.
The chrome bumpers have a bright shine to contrast the dark paint
tastefully. And this is complemented by upgraded polished pieces
like the wheel arches, rub strips, and 15-inch alloys. So it all
makes for a quality package.
The exterior has a distinctive gold and orange pinstripe, and it
looks like if you combined the two colors, you'd get the interior's
tan. So this one has a harmonized look inside and out that is ideal
to have on a convertible. It has the look of a well-respected car
that has traveled less than its peers (only averaging about 2,500
miles annually.) Just as it was when new, this respected classic
remains a great driver's car. So you get contoured bucket seats
with a center armrest in-between. You have the best factory
amenities like power windows, power locks, cruise control, and
cold-blowing air conditioning. There's even an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo with a powered subwoofer for better driving music. The R107
was a lasting symbol of quality because Mercedes-Benz was known for
offering quite a secure convertible. They built their drop-tops
with added body strength for a robust feel. Plus, even in 1986, you
got anti-lock brakes and this was the first year for the driver's
airbag. This one is full of all sorts of surprises, including the
added rear seat that wasn't even an option in the USA.
The 560SL came with a big 5.6-liter V8. This fuel-injected
powerhouse has been treated with the same level of respect as the
rest of the car, and we have the maintenance file to prove it. You
can tell by the presentation of the engine bay and the cleanliness
of the undercarriage that this has always been a cherished luxury
machine. But more than just looking good, this was a total package
that was made for the grand tour. It's an all-day cruiser with a
fully-independent suspension, four-speed automatic transmission
with overdrive, power steering, and four-wheel power disc
brakes.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance
records. This SL has the V8 power, distinct colors, and unique
upgrades that make it a stand-out classic. Call today!!!
