Mercedes-Benz launched their flagship 560 SL at the Frankfurt Motor
Show in September 1985.In 1986, Mercedes shipped its most powerful
SL of the decade, and of the chassis type, to the United States. At
3781 pounds, the 560SL was also the heaviest of the SLs, but its
new 5.6-liter V-8 engine. The car also received a new rear
suspension, a limited-slip differential to better handle the extra
power, anti-lock brakes, leather upholstery, an alarm system, and
an airbag, all of which added up to a price tag of $48,000.The
560SL has maintained its reputation as a powerful, reliable,
well-appointed, classically-styled luxury automobile. Our example
is a silver-grey metallic paint with blue interior, also the
beautiful euro bumper conversion and hardtop with stand. The iconic
Mercedes "ribbed" tail lights are ribbed on purpose. These are
designed as "self cleaning" tail lights. The grooves act as
channels for passing air to "clean" and blow out dust, dirt, and
debris. Stop by Motorcar Gallery to have a look at this classic
Mercedes today. Financing and lease programs are available on all
