1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

The Mercedes-Benz SL series started out as the top of the line sports luxury tourer that offered both performance and comfort. The third generation SL was called the R107 chassis and is one of the most recognizable Mercedes of all time. Produced from 1971 all the way to 1989, the R107 lived a long and cherished life. The United States was an extremely popular market for the personal luxury coupe and almost ⅔ of all SL's were sold here. Unfortunately, US regulations mandated big bumpers, low power headlights, and emission choked engines. While not as quick or pretty as their European cousins, the US market SL's still represented the cream of the personal luxury car crop. The most desirable of the US versions were the late model 560SL that had a host of modern features as well as the largest M117 5.5L V8 that Mercedes offered!
GR Auto Gallery is very pleased to present this excellent 1987 560SL for your consideration. The car looks great on the outside with the car being resprayed in its original Smoke Silver over maroon leather. The exterior chrome and rubber trim is in excellent shape and shines up very well. The factory hardtop is color matched and fits perfectly. The interior is traditional Benz, with real leather seats, burl wood trim, heat and air conditioning and even a temperature gauge! An aftermarket stereo is fitted and works well. The leather steering wheel is in great shape and features an optional factory airbag.
The current owners have had the car for two years and it has been well kept throughout its life. The current owners have recently changed all of the belts as well as the fluids and claim that a recent compression test shows that the engine is in optimal shape. Two sets of keys as well as the owners manual and even the factory spare are included with this beautiful car!
