Exterior

The Astral Silver (735) exterior is in good driver condition. As one can see in the photos, the paint has a nice gloss and smooth finish. The chrome and other bright-work look great with a brilliant finish and no major pitting. The original alloy wheels are in excellent shape with no curb rash, they almost look like new. The tires have plenty of tread left and are correctly sized 205/65R15. The convertible soft-top is in fantastic condition with no holes or frayed edges. The rear windows are clear with no yellowing or fogginess and are not worn in the normal spot where the windows contact the top mechanism. There are no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. As one would expect from a paint job with many years on it there are some small imperfections, spots, and dings around the car that are too tiny so show up in the photos, but nothing that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. It is hard to describe without seeing the car in person, but there are some marks that almost look like light scratches, but it does not appear on the surface of the paint, it almost looks like the marks are underneath the surface. There are a could tiny rust spots behind the right front wheel and the right rocker. As one can see in the many photos of the underside, this 560SL is very solid underneath. We have also included specific photos of the rockers, lower front and rear quarter panels, and other areas on the car most prone to rust to show how it looks.

Starting in 1987 Mercedes put a sticker on each cars individual VIN number on all of the body panels at the factory during assembly. These original VIN stickers on this 560SL are not the easiest to read, but are present on all the body parts we checked. The hood, trunk, both doors, both front fenders, both rear fenders, and both the front and rear bumper all still have the Mercedes stickers. This is another excellent sign of originally

Interior

The Burgundy (277) interior of the 560SL is in fantastic condition. All of the gauges faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are clear. The seats are in wonderful condition and almost look brand new with no split seams, holes, or wear. The seat is not overly worn in the typical area on the bolster where the driver gets in and out. The headliner for the hardtop is in excellent condition with no stains or sagging. The carpet looks great with no rips, major stains, or holes. The original door panels look wonderful with no cracks or splits, and both door pulls are solid and intact. The dash has no sun fading, nut does have a few small cracks that are visible in the photos. The center dash wood panel is a bit loose. This car has never been smoked in; there is no aroma of cigarettes what so ever and no burn marks.

The original Mercedes tool kit is still with the car and included with the sale along with the top wrench. The trunk is very clean and nicely detailed with the original spare tire, and rim, jack.

Mechanical

This 560SL appears to be in very nice mechanical condition and it is ready to be enjoyed. The V8 engine starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. It is an exceptional driver that feels great on the road and at highway speeds. In the video one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to a stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that it runs great, there are no strange noises or vibrations, and the car performs quite nice overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. It runs cool and does not overheat. The gauge shows that the engine makes great oil pressure. Also, the engine bay is clean, nicely detailed, and correct as one can see from the photos.

Please note in the video the dash warning lights; they light up when the key is first turned on and then go off when the engine is started. There are no "check engine" lights that stay on. The horn works as do the fog lights, headlights, brights, turn signals, interior lights, indicators, dash gauges lights, wipers, and fan. All of the gauges work with the obvious exception of the clock. The a/c does not blow cold so it may need some freon. The power mirrors work in most directions. The power locks do not work. This Mercedes has plenty of power with the 5.6 liter V8 engine. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the top down on a beautiful day.

Overall Condition

Overall, this 1987 560SL is in nice driver condition and is a true bargain at our asking price. The beautiful original color combination, the presence of all the VIN tags on all the body panels, and nice overall condition make this Mercedes particularly desirable. The market for the R107 body style SL Mercedes is very strong right now, particularly for the 560SL's and this would be a great example to own. This Mercedes is a great value and will only appreciate over time. Someone could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.
