This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL spent time in New York and Florida before being sold on BaT in May 2021 and later acquired by the seller. Recent work included replacing the timing chain tensioner, water pump, engine mounts, transmission mount, and windshield, servicing the air conditioning system, rebuilding the steering box, and refinishing areas of the exterior in Black Pearl Metallic. The car is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and features include a removable hardtop, a black soft top, chrome-plated 15″ alloy wheels, fog lights, burgundy leather interior, automatic climate control, an alarm system, and a Continental CD stereo. Now showing 46k miles, this R107 is offered with an owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.
The car left the factory finished in Black Pearl Metallic and areas of the bodywork were refinished and blended under current ownership. Exterior details include a color-matched removable hardtop, a replacement black soft top, quad headlights, fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim. The windshield and weatherstripping were replaced in 2021.
Chrome-plated 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels were mounted with 205/65 Michelin tires in 2018. The car was factory-equipped with power steering, a fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. The steering box was rebuilt, and the center steering drag link tie rod assembly, front and rear brake pads, and brake wear sensors were replaced in 2022.
The bucket seats are upholstered in burgundy leather, and the driver seat springs were replaced in 2022. Appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, central locking, an alarm system, and a Continental CD stereo. The sunvisors were refurbished, the power windows were recalibrated, and the front floor mats and cargo mat were replaced under current ownership. A removed factory Becker cassette radio with a missing button is included in the sale.
The leather-wrapped airbag steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 170-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel economy, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 46k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.5-liter V8 was factory rated at 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque. The hood pad was replaced in 2021, the timing chain tensioner, water pump, engine mounts, air filter, and spark plugs were replaced in 2022, and the battery was replaced and the air conditioning refrigerant was recharged in 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The transmission mount was replaced in 2022.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in New York, Florida, and Tennessee from the initial entry in October 1992.
