Vehicle Description
Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1987 Mercedes
Benz 560SL. This German luxury roadster comes to us today dressed
in its original coat of Champagne paint with only 75,851 actual
miles on the odometer. The paint looks great from 5 feet, but a
closer inspection reveals imperfections that put it in the driver
quality category. This 560SL comes equipped with a removable
body-color hardtop and a great looking burgundy soft top that folds
into the boot, both in fine order. Both front and rear bumpers are
the "American style" with black rubber gaurds protecting the
chrome. The horizontal grille with a large Mercedes emblem is
flanked by side-by-side round headlights - an iconic look that
still resonates almost 40 years later. Brightwork is abundant with
gleaming window trim, dual side mirrors, side molding, and rocker
covers. Wrap-around tail lights and a third brake light on the
trunklid accent the rear of the car. This SL still sits atop its
factory alloy wheels that are wrapped in good-looking Pirelli P600
tires.
Lift the hood to reveal a bone stock engine bay that is home to a
5.6 liter V-8 that was originally factory-rated at 227hp. The V-8
is mated to a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission with
rear-wheel drive - a bullet-proof drivetrain that's perfect for a
journey to anywhere. While under the hood, you'll notice that this
Mercedes is equipped with power steering and working A/C that has
been retrofitted to 134A. Stopping power is provided by power
brakes (front disc and rear drum) with ABS.
Open the drivers door to find an exceptionally well-preserved
original burgundy interior. The comfortable leather bucket seats
have no rips or tears, but both seats have some door-side bolster
wear. The door panels are both in great condition with what appears
to be original hardware. Between the seats is a fold-down armrest
and a center console with beautiful burled wood inlay. The console
is home to the shifter, power window controls, and an electric
toggle for the passenger side mirror. The wood trim flows up from
the console to the center of the dash and surrounds the automatic
climate controls that crank out cold A/C and hot heat. Above the
climate controls is the original Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/Cassette
stereo. The stereo seems to get power, but is currently
inoperative. A crack-free black dash pad sits above a cluster of
working circular gauges. There is an all-in-one gauge with temp,
fuel, oil, and econ as well as a speedometer and a tachometer with
clock. Beneath the gauges is a row of warning lights. The driver is
treated to a leather-wrapped 4-spoke steering wheel complete with
an airbag. On the column are controls for the 3-speed wipers and
cruise control. The burgundy carpet is in very good condition and
there is a set of OEM carpeted floormats in the trunk. Behind the
seats is a carpeted storage area with a Mercedes first aid kit. The
interior also features rear defogger (hardtop only), a thermometer,
a power antenna, and dual lighted vanity mirrors.
With their timeless good looks and proven reliability, these SL
series Mercedes are still in high demand today - especially the top
of the line 560 variant. This highly original, low mileage example
is turn-key ready to hit the road and start turning heads! With the
versatility of both tops, or no top, plus cold AC this classic
roadster is sure to please. Give our friendly staff a call today,
this car is sure to find its new owner quickly!
