1987 Mercedes-Benz 560-Class 560 SL

For sale is a stunning 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, finished in classic Signal Red over Palomino leather interior. This elegant convertible combines timeless style and robust engineering, featuring a 5.5-liter V8 engine paired with a smooth four-speed automatic transmission. The exterior is enhanced by a color-matched removable hardtop, a black soft top, quad headlights, fog lights, chrome-accented bumpers and trim, as well as a power antenna. Dent repair has been completed to maintain the body’s pristine appearance, ensuring it remains in excellent condition.
The vehicle rides on silver-finished 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels with Hankook Kinergy ST tires installed in August 2022. Equipped with power steering, fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, this 560SL delivers a smooth and responsive driving experience. The Palomino leather bucket seats inside the cabin provide both luxury and comfort. Interior features include an alarm system, electric windows, central locking, cruise control, an aftermarket CD stereo, and automatic climate control. In preparation for the sale, portions of the interior were re-dyed to ensure a fresh appearance.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a comprehensive VDO instrument cluster, which includes 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 displays a low 33,118 miles, reflecting careful ownership and limited use over the years.
Under the hood, the 5.5-liter V8 engine was factory-rated at 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque, offering plenty of power for spirited driving. Recent maintenance in July 2024 included the replacement of the air conditioning compressor, valve cover gaskets, drive belts, and the battery, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential, further enhancing its driving dynamics.
This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes complete with the owner’s manual, a service invoice, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title. It presents a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained, low-mileage example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most iconic roadsters. Contact us for more details or to arrange a viewing.
