ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ORIGINAL ONE OWNER ALL ORIGINAL PAINT GARAGE
KEPT TIME CAPSULE 560SL!!! All I can say is wow, this car is truly
amazing and is the finest example I have seen in at least twenty
years! A true one owner example bought new at Foley-Sweitzer Motor
Sales in Marion, IL to the original owner who just recently sold it
to us through one of our out of state contacts. A true survivor all
original car with all original paint as best I can tell through
careful analysis by myself, my 20+ year paint detail technician,
and scientific device (Elcometer) confirming uniform paint
thickness on all steel body panels (hood is aluminum and cannot be
verified with the Elcometer) as shown in the photos. In addition
all body panels have matching original VIN stickers including the
front and rear bumpers as shown in the detailed photos. The top
appears to be the original as well with all proper OEM M-B
stamping, although the condition would almost lead me to believe it
was brand new, as I haven't seen one as nice in years if ever. I
would guess it may have only been up a handful of times. The
windshield appears to be original with the original Daimler
signature sticker in place. The upper dash panel is free of any
cracks and the sunvisors are both in excellent condition as shown.
The hood insulation pad has just been replaced and is in perfect
condition as shown. The underbody has no signs of serious corrosion
on any of the frame or suspension components as you can see in the
detailed photos including a very nice OE muffler. The interior is
just as you would expect and is super clean just as the rest of the
car with no real wear to be found on the leather, super clean
carpets with no signs of water damage, and even the original floor
mats in excellent condition. The original hard top is included and
is in very good condition with only minor marks on the brightwork
from storage and no damage to the paint or headliner. There is a OE
style wind deflector in place mounted to the convertible top shell
and clips into place like a newer style SL car. The car has all the
correct original items a collector would look for including
original spare wheel/tire that look to have never been used, tool
kit, first aid kit in place, top tools, two original red dot alarm
keys, original books and manuals in the original case, and original
service booklet with all services stamped up to 53K miles in 1994.
The car has been stored most of the time in more recent years and
has just been treated to a $5,000.00 service with included receipt
that included all new brake pads, rotors, calipers, and hoses all
around, as well as a new fuel gauge sending unit and fluid flushes.
The car runs and drives amazing with no known issues to report and
all major functions in proper working order including cold AC,
cruise control, and power features. The original radio was not
producing sound so we had it professionally rebuilt completely by
the Becker Audio specialists including the addition of Bluetooth
streaming audio through the original radio with no additional
hardware needed (super cool feature!)! The paint and body are in
truly amazing original condition and has just been treated to a
full professional paint correction and ceramic coating to keep the
paint looking amazing for years to come with just simple
maintenance. The paint is overall in stunning condition with only a
few minor touched up minor stone chips on the nose as you would
expect, and a handful of touched up but somewhat noticeable marks
from removal/installation of the hard top by the older previous
owner as shown in the detailed photos. Other than these few very
minor items I have detailed, the paint is truly in absolutely
amazing condition and is remarkably free of any real damage to
disclose. No noticeable door dings, deep scratches, or other issues
that I could see to disclose. The bumpers have an excellent finish
with no pitting or chrome issues and the rubber parts are all in
really good condition with no shrinking or deformation issues. The
car will come complete with all the items shown and described,
including both keys, service receipt for work completed in June
2022 for $4,994.79, all manuals, two top tools, etc. Possibly the
most original, best color, final year, well sorted, and original
paint and body R107 SL available for sale that is still reasonably
priced enough to take out and enjoy, plus a one owner clean Carfax
history to boot. Truly an amazing find. Don't miss out on this rare
collector piece!
