Renowned for the racing successes scored by its mighty prewar
'Silver Arrow' Grand Prix cars, Mercedes-Benz renewed its
competition program with the lightweight 'W194' 300SL competition
coupes that utterly dominated the 1952 international racing
calendar. Most significantly, Mercedes-Benz brought these startling
and technically sophisticated performers to production reality for
well-heeled buyers to enjoy on the road. Five decades later, this
grand tradition continued with the release of the 2002
Mercedes-Benz SL500 AMG Silver Arrow Edition Convertible, priced at
an additional $2,500 and honoring the last model year for the
celebrated 'R129' SL generation. One of just 1,550 Silver Arrow
convertibles produced for the U.S. market for 2002, this special
500SL features factory-fitted AMG Styling Enhancements and 18"
Monoblock wheels. Power is delivered by an M113 5.0-liter V-8
engine, featuring aluminum construction, 24 valves, and 100K-rated
platinum spark plugs. Factory-rated at 302 horsepower and 339
pounds-feet of torque, this potent poweplant is paired with a
5-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission.Finished
in Silver Arrow Ultra-Metallic (Code 777) paint, this rare,
final-year 'R129' 500SL is handsomely accented by a model-specific
2-tone Nappa leather interior with rich Black Birds Eye maple trim
and an engine-turned dash insert. A Black convertible top and
aluminum auxiliary hardtop with a storage stand are included. Other
Silver Arrow features include illuminated door sills, Xenon lights,
heated seats, a 6-disc CD changer, AM/FM/WB cassette radio,
6-speaker BOSE Acoustimass sound system, rain-sensing wipers,
10-way adjustable seats with memory, an electric tilt/telescopic
