The 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is a hallmark of 1990s luxury and
engineering excellence, blending timeless design with powerful
performance. Part of the R129 generation produced from 1989 to
2001, the SL500 represents a mature stage in the model's
development-offering refinement, comfort, and cutting-edge
technology for its time. Under the hood, the 1999 SL500 features a
5.0-liter V8 engine producing approximately 302 horsepower and 339
lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a smooth-shifting
five-speed automatic transmission, delivering strong acceleration
and effortless cruising. The '99 SL500 was known for its clean,
elegant styling with integrated bumpers, a retractable roll bar,
and distinctive headlight design. The 1999 SL500 remains a symbol
of an era when quality and understated style defined luxury
vehicles. Today, it's appreciated both as a collectible and a grand
touring machine-valued for its build quality, driving comfort, and
the prestige of the Mercedes-Benz badge. For enthusiasts seeking a
blend of classic charm and usable performance, the 1999 SL500
stands as an appealing choice.
This '99 SL500 was recently acquired from a loving owner who used
the vehicle as a weekend and special night driver. Showing just
under 37,000 miles on the odometer, it is obvious this convertible
was loved and cared for. Around the exterior, the Firemist Red
exterior gleams and is offset by the stunning Parchment interior.
Upon acquisition by Motor City Classic Cars, a new soft top was
installed on this car and the hydrualics were rebuilt on the power
top to ensure seamless function. Loaded with power features, this
car operates fantastically. It is a blast to drive and evokes
timless luxury.
Unless states otherwise, mileage shown on odometer is exempt and
unknown if original.
