1987 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for your consideration. The top dog of the SL line was the 560SL that was powered by a 5.6L V8 that produced 227hp and could hit a top speed of nearly 140mph. It was smooth as butter and was mated exclusively to a silky automatic transmission. The 560SL also featured a revised rear suspension and a limited-slip differential to better handle the added torque and power. Mercedes also added anti-lock brakes, leather upholstery, and an alarm system. Today, many enthusiasts gravitate towards the 560SL as it retains some of the original lines of the pagoda SL's while carrying with it all of the R107's advances. This example is finished in Signal Red and features accenting chrome throughout the exterior. This 560SL comes with a removable hardtop and a soft top. The hardtop is in good condition and is surprisingly easy to remove. Inside the vehicle is a black leather interior with comfortable seating for two. It features automatic climate control, factory instrumentation, power windows, power locks, factory Becker radio, and power mirrors. 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 of all SL's were sold here. 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. They are elegant, stylish, sporty, performance-driven and for the time being, relatively affordable. There isn't a better way to enjoy summer than in this 560SL Roadster. According to the selling owner, this example has undergone restoration at a shop in Palm Beach, FL. Please call or email with any questions or for additional information.
