1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL R107 EURO Model Here is the chance to own THE NEXT COLLECTABLE SL ROADSTER – THE HOLY GRAIL of R107 Line – European Spec 500SL!!! (VIN# WDB1070461A016660) What makes this SL differ from the other ones on the US roads is that this is EUROPEAN model, featuring more powerful 5.0 liter V8 engine (more power and HP than US model 560SL), and more aesthetically appealing European short bumpers – The way Mercedes-Benz Designed the R107 Series!. The 500SL is also fastest production R107 SL produced!! During its production course from 1980-1989 there was ONLY 11,812 of 500SL’s produced WORLDWIDE and this beauty is ONE of them!!! With its rare and desirable color combination, and the fact that this is true EUROPEAN 500SL, there is not a lot of R107 SL’s like this one on the road today!! This SL was sitting since 2008 due to its owner’s age and health issues. Before the car was parked, it was running and driving, and gentleman used it as his weekend driver in South Florida. Before it hits the road again, It will need to be gone through, gas tank and fuel lines cleaned, mechanicals checked out, and tune up performed. We are selling it as a non-runner, but it does roll, steers and brakes with no problems. This Mercedes is a fun project, and it is perfect for somebody who wants to do a full restoration, and have a wonderful show car and the investment, especially being a rare 500SL Euro model, OR for somebody who can fix it up to be their daily or a weekend driver, and then slowly restore it to its full beauty and potential at their own pace!! Despite the larger 5.6 liter engine of the 560 SL, the 500 SL is recorded as being the fastest production R107 SL produced. The 500 SL was published by Mercedes-Benz as having 0-60mph times of 7.4 seconds for a top speed of 225km/h (140mph). Torque for the 500 SL is 296lb·ft (401N·m) at 3200 rpm and for the 560 SL 287lb·ft (389N·m) at 3500 rpm. Walkaround: Its rare and highly desirable Champagne Gold Metallic paint (color code #473H champagnermetallic) shines nicely, but upon closer inspection there are some imperfections due to its age and the fact the cars was stored under carport and the car cover for some time. Body is nice and straight, and undercarriage is all original! ALL Glass is ORIGINAL including the ORIGINAL SEKURIT Windshield! Palomino Leather Interior is all complete but original leather seats need to be reupholstered as they are showing their age. This SL comes with rare Heated Seats, and rear seat option. It comes with both Hard Top and Soft top. Hard top is in pretty good condition, and all glass is nice and complete. Soft top operates with ease, but canvas is old and it needs to be replaced. All in all it’s a very nice and complete car that can make a very nice and fun project, and great return on your investment! With some cosmetic and mechanical TLC this rare European beauty can be on the road in no time turning heads!!
