For Sale at Auction: 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is the final and most refined iteration of the R107 "Sport Leicht" Roadster series. Finished in black over a Palomino leather interior, this example is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 engine rated at 227hp, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Performance improvements for the 560SL included a top speed approaching 140 mph, a 15.5-second quarter-mile and an upgraded rear suspension with a limited-slip differential for improved control and stability. The 560SL features a steel unibody, fully independent suspension, four-wheel ABS disc brakes, power-assisted steering and factory 15-inch alloy wheels with performance radial tires. It is equipped with both tops: a removable hardtop with rolling carrier and a like-new black canvas soft-top with clear windows. An added wind blocker enhances top-down comfort. The interior features premium Palomino leather, flawless wood trim and high-grade carpeting. Amenities include climate control with cold air conditioning, the original Becker Grand Prix stereo, power antenna, power windows, locks and mirrors, cruise control and full instrumentation. Mercedes-Benz safety engineering includes crumple zones, side-impact protection, energy-absorbing controls and one of the earliest implementations of SRS airbags. This 560SL was delivered new in Enid, OK, and has had two Oklahoma owners from new. The first owner opted to delete the factory fender pinstripes, preserving the original design lines. Documentation includes the factory owner's manual, warranty book, delivery tags and SRS information booklet. The black paint and leather interior have been professionally ceramic-coated for UV protection and easy upkeep. No accidents or damage reported to CARFAX.
