CALIFORNIA 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Base Convertible 2-Door 5.6L

Description

1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL R107 Roadster

Up for sale is very nicely kept, 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. Its desirable and rare Diamond

Blue Metallic Paint shines beautifully and Powerful V8 engine purrs and runs strong as ever.

Now that the W113 230/250/280SL's have become priced out of sight, here comes the

560SL - THE Next Collectible SL Roadster!

As recently as the mid 1990's, and early 2000’s you could pick up a nice condition 1971

280SL Pagoda Roadster for around $20,000. Almost in the blink of an eye, that's what a basket

case now goes for - with good condition examples regularly selling north of $75k and more. There

are good reasons for this: scarcity, limited production, and a demographic generational shift that

shows the 50's and 60's muscle car prices have peaked and the next generation is after the

desirable cars they remember - which mostly came from Germany in the 70's, 80's and early

1990's.

In the 560SL, Mercedes got it all just right, offering essentially bullet-proof reliability, satisfying

power, and aggressive good looks. The 560SL combined all that Mercedes learned about the V-8 R107

chassis cars into a cultural icon that quietly and confidently told the world its occupants had "arrived."

The R107 chassis was one of the longest running production bodies in the Diamler-Benz AG's

line, and R107s are extremely well built and collectable. It is also the first V8 powered two-seater to be

built at the Stuttgart, Germany factory.

Exterior:

It’s elegant and rare Diamond Blue Metallic (color code #355 diamintblau) paint has a beautiful shine

and luster!! Chrome is in great condition, it is complete and new looking, and this beautiful roadster is a

head turner and conversation piece everywhere it goes.

is straight as an arrow! All doors, hood, and trunk are operating with ease, and everything lines up

properly. It was never in an accident, and It has been always garaged, pampered and kept away from

rain and bad weather, and it truly shows!!

Factory VIN number stamping on the front radiator support shows originality of this car. Along with the

Factory VIN number stamping, every body panel (doors, hood, trunk) has a original VIN number sticker

as well! There is not a lot of 560SL’s out there in this solid and nicely kept and preserved condition!!

It is equipped with both soft top, and the hard top! Navy Blue Soft top is in excellent condition, plastic
