Vehicle Description
We all love the 1986 Mercedes 560SL because it's a timeless status
symbol built with impeccable quality. So when you can get a unique
vehicle that has not left its hometown, and it's available today at
an affordable price, then you're looking at irresistible ticket to
high society.
The factory-correct Arctic White has a sophisticated luster in the
sunshine, which tells you this has received the right care over the
years. The body panels still hold the precision straightness that
Mercedes is known for, and the trim is complete right down to the
dealer tag that lets you know this car was delivered new in
Charlotte. So most of the 3,200 miles annually it has averaged over
the years has likely been quite near our showroom. But the most
impressive part of this particular Mercedes is the trio of
personalities is can convey - all in one vehicle. The white hardtop
gives it a sophisticated coupe appearance. Plus, the black folding
roof matches so well with the rubber on the bumpers and full rub
strips, that it gives this SL a distinct black and white two-tone
presence. And when both tops are off, there is a third distinct
personality.
The burgundy leather interior still retains a nice deep color, and
when its viewed against the white paint and matching burgundy
pinstripe, it has the great European combo that makes you feel like
you were using this to cross over into the Swiss Alps. The 560SL
was one of the most expensive cars Mercedes offered during its
reign, so the features list is quite complete and long. It includes
conveniences such as power windows, power locks, power steering,
and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. Because this was built 1986, there
are also more modern safety features than most other R107s, such as
anti-lock brakes, a third brake light, and a driver's air bag.
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 5.6-liter V8. The
560SL was really the car to have from the R107 period because it
combined a powerful motor with a reputation for bulletproof
durability. But all you really need to know is that out on the
road, this luxury convertible strikes the perfect balance between
nimble machine, and all-weekend cruiser. That's thanks to a
specially engineered fully independent suspension, four-speed
automatic transmission with overdrive, and four-wheel disc brakes.
They all work in harmony to provide a true luxury experience that
has been the envy of other car makers.
This vintage Mercedes proves its worth in the full file that comes
with it, which includes the original window sticker, maintenance
records, and a host of original manuals - including the very
important guide to the different roofs. It's the superior classic
that begs for the long way home and can carry all the luggage for a
weekend getaway. A full wish list car like this is a great way to
treat yourself, so grab a bit of the good life at a great price.
