For Sale: 1983 Mercedes-Benz 500SL in Kentwood, Michigan

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this rare and elegant 1983 Mercedes-Benz 500SL, a European-market R107 model that was never sold new in the United States. With its robust 5.0L V8 engine paired to a smooth automatic transmission, this SL delivers both spirited performance and the refined driving experience expected from a classic Mercedes-Benz roadster. As a testament to its engineering, the 500SL was considered the pinnacle of the R107 lineup when it debuted, blending power and luxury in a truly timeless design.

The car is finished in a stately black exterior, complementing the tan leather interior that exudes classic sophistication. Both the original soft top and factory hardtop remain in excellent condition, showcasing the level of care this vehicle has received over its lifetime. Having spent nearly 15 years in the same careful ownership, this 500SL has been stored in a climate-controlled environment during winters and enjoyed as a Northern Michigan cottage car. This kind of attentive stewardship ensures its continued reliability and cosmetic appeal.

The exclusivity of the 500SL adds to its allure. Since it was not officially imported to the U.S., finding one stateside in such fine condition is a rarity. This example retains its original European charm, with subtle differences like the slimmer bumpers and unique badging that set it apart from its American counterparts. It represents a fantastic opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a piece of Mercedes-Benz history.

Whether cruising with the top down on a summer day or displaying it at a classic car gathering, this 1983 Mercedes-Benz 500SL offers a combination of prestige, rarity, and drivability. It's a car that truly stands out wherever it goes.
