Design was executed by Bruno Sacco, who was also responsible for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans of the 1970s. Somewhat larger and more rounded than its predecessors, the new SL was based upon a steel unibody structure and featured a more luxuriously appointed interior. Faster than ever before with confident V-8 power, the new SL delivered improved handling and included numerous built-in safety features. As expected, Mercedes-Benz constantly refined and updated the R107, which remained in production for nearly 20 years along five variants. Powered by a 5.6-liter V-8 engine, developing 227 horsepower and 279 pounds-feet of torque, the 560SL was the ultimate expression of the R107 series, available from 1985 through 1989. As always, Mercedes-Benz SL ownership, particularly in reference to the 560SL, clearly signified that one had indeed "arrived" in life, and this high-end image continues unchanged today.Finished in Silver over a Blue leather interior, this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a high-quality example with 71k Carfax-documented miles at the time of writing. A Black soft top and body-color removable auxiliary hardtop are included. The prior decade of ownership in North Carolina included proper garage storage while not in use. Desirable features and amenities include a 4-speed automatic transmission, factory air conditioning, an upgraded Pioneer radio, power steering, power windows, a rear-window defogger, and rich wood grain interior trim.
