Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is excited to present
1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL finished in Artic White over Palomino
interior. In 1986, Mercedes-Benz produced its most powerful SL of
the decade, the 560SL Roadster. With the new 5.6-liter V-8 engine
mated to the 3-speed automatic transmission, top speed was much
improved from 110 mph in the 380SL to 130 mph, and the 560SL was
quicker from a standstill to 60 mph by about 4 full seconds. The
engine has more torque, which improved the SLs dynamics. The 560SL
received a new rear suspension and a limited-slip differential to
better handle the added torque and power. Mercedes-Benz also added
anti-lock disc brakes, leather upholstery, an alarm system, power
windows, cruise control, and an airbag. The manual convertible top
allows for open-air driving enjoyment at your discretion. Aluminum
wheels not only add a touch of modern style but also contribute to
the vehicle's overall performance. Inside, the car is fitted with
an AM/FM radio and a CD player, offering entertainment options for
every journey. Many enthusiasts gravitate towards the 560SL as it
retains some of the original lines of the pagoda SLs while carrying
with it all of the R107's advances. This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL
is a true testament to the enduring appeal of Mercedes-Benz
engineering and design, offering a blend of luxury, performance,
and timeless style.
