This is one of the rarest post-war Mercedes Benz models around.
There were only 40 examples of the 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL500 US 500
Edition ever. Oh yeah! You're looking at a low-mileage example of a
seldom-seem car from one of the most prestigious marques in the
world. So while you will often find good care in the world of
responsible Benz owners, you can also tell there has been extra
attention paid to something this special. The porcelain-like white
paint, supple leather interior, and fuel-injected V8 all have the
look and feel of a car that has barely done more than just parade
laps every year (averaging under 575 miles annually.) So dig into
the details of a rare and luxurious classic that is surprisingly
obtainable.

The US 500 Edition may only be distinguished by its fender badges
and its carpeting, but its significance is amazing. The 40 special
edition cars were all used as parade vehicles as part of IndyCar's
U.S. 500 (CART's version of the Indy 500.) So these are a small
part of a unique time in American motor racing history. It's a
terrific story to tell especially when you combine it with tidbits
like how a 300 SL gullwing alloy-body is only slightly rarer than
this. And it's this uniqueness combined with great care, loaded
features, and sporty AMG details that keep this car a cut above. So
what you're looking at is the affordable way to get a Benz of
double-digit rarity and lavish distinction. That's why we know this
deal will be moving fast. Call today!!!
