1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL
SOLD
The powerhouse of classic Mercedes SL roadsters!
The eighties were a booming time for a lot of the world. With US and UK economies flourishing towards the end of the decade, there was a huge demand for luxury items. The Mercedes-Benz 560SL was a perfect fit.
The roadster was one of the sexiest cars offered on the market and oozed opulence. It's sleek lines and big 5.6L motor were a perfect combination of style and performance. While the 380SL had its reliability issues, the 560 made up for that with upgrades that made it a bulletproof machine. A dual timing chain made the V8 that much stronger while the rear suspension upgrades and limited slip differential made it a much more comfortable ride. At 3781 pounds it was the beefiest of the SLs but the 227hp and 287ft-lbs of torque made up for the big chassis. The hardtop boasted electric windshield heating and the soft top's ease of operation made it the perfect car to drive year round.
This particular 560SL is a 4 owner 28,900 ORIGINAL MILES car delivered new to Texas where it would live from 1987 until 2016, then moving to South Carolina, and finally ending up with a Florida registration. Nearly all the work was done at MB authorized dealerships and service centers. The Arctic White exterior is complimented by a beautiful Dark Blue leather interior and comes with both hardtop and a fairly new soft top. Comprehensive service records are available as well as the data plate, owners manual, maintenance record book, and options sheet.
If you're looking for a iconic classic car that you can drive for years and years to come, this is your car.
