1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL

The 107 Chassis was built for almost twenty years, between 1971 and 1989 is one of the most classic looking Benz to date……in my subtle opinion anyway! These cars were sold new to wealthy socialites all over the world with the exception of the last 560 SL models that were only sold in the US, Canada, Japan and Australia. This 500 SL model is Euro Spec car that was imported to the US after the 25 year rule. There are certain items that stand out on these and to me it's the bumpers that are a dead give a way. They are a much more attractive bumper because they are much closer to the body as they did not have to conform to the 5MPH bumper rule here in the US. This seems to be a very decent car overall. It still retains its original paint so, there are some blemishes, swirls and a few scratches but overall nice with no rust. The underside of the car shows quite well in my opinion again with no rust or rot. This car does have its original hard top that is in good condition. The original soft top needs replacing if you plan on actually using it….The tops both work properly. The interior is showing some signs of sun fade but no cracking anywhere. The carpets have some staining, all the lights work properly, the windows and radio work. The A/C is not blowing cold. This is a very good running and driving car with no shakes or rattles and has nice power. This would make someone a really nice driver SL as is or put a little money in to it and you would really have something special I think. A little bit nicer cars bring a whole lot more money.
