This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL was initially delivered to Benzel-Busch Motor Car Corporation in Englewood, New Jersey, and it shows 85k miles following the seller’s purchase in 2011. The car is finished in Desert Red over Creme Beige leather upholstery and is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, a black soft top, a removable hardtop, silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels, fog lights, a Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo, an alarm system, electric windows, central locking, cruise control, and automatic climate control. This R107 is now offered with a window sticker, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a Vermont registration.
The car was finished from the factory in Desert Red and was refinished in 2014. It features a color-matched removable hardtop and a black convertible soft top that has been replaced, and additional exterior details include quad headlights, fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim. There is a ding in the trunk lid, and close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.
Silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels are mounted with Dunlop tires. The car was factory-equipped with power steering, a fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.
The two bucket seats were reupholstered in Creme Beige leather in 2018, and interior features include a Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo, an alarm system, electric windows, central locking, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The carpeting was replaced in 2015, and the seller notes that the heater function controls do not work.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped 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 85k miles, approximately 27k of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.5-liter V8 was factory rated at 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to Benzel-Busch Motor Car Corporation in Englewood, New Jersey, as well as factory colors, equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $63,410.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
The vehicle does not have a title, as it is located in a state that does not issue titles to vehicles of its age. It is being offered on its Vermont registration.
