1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Convertible
This beautiful 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Convertible is an exceptional example of the iconic R107 roadster, showing only 14,000 miles according to its registration history. Finished in Signal Red over Palomino leather, this SL presents beautifully with amazing paint and a deep shine, highlighting the timeless lines of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most celebrated luxury convertibles.
Autodynamica originally purchased this vehicle on January 20, 2024, through Bring a Trailer for $49,000. Shortly after, the car was sold to a good friend and long-time customer, who enjoyed the vehicle for the past couple of years while maintaining and servicing it properly. The owner has now decided to offer the car for sale again, allowing us to present this excellent example once more.
Powered by the legendary 5.5-liter V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, the 560SL delivers the smooth, refined performance that made it the flagship SL model of its era. The car runs and drives perfectly and has been recently serviced, including an oil service and a fuel pump replacement in November 2023.
This example comes equipped with both the removable color-matched hardtop and a brown convertible soft top, allowing the car to be enjoyed year-round as either a coupe or an open-air roadster.
The exterior is complemented by chrome-plated 15” Gullideckel alloy wheels mounted with Michelin tires, along with classic Mercedes styling details including quad headlights, fog lights, chrome-accented bumpers and trim, and a power antenna.
Inside, the cabin features Palomino leather bucket seats and a well-appointed interior with amenities that include power windows, central locking, cruise control, automatic climate control, and an alarm system. The air conditioning is working perfectly, ensuring comfortable driving even in warmer climates.
The car retains its VDO instrumentation, including a 170-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer, clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel economy, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows approximately 14,000 miles, with roughly 500 miles added under recent ownership.
Additional features include power steering, fully independent suspension, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, and a limited-slip differential, contributing to the refined and balanced driving experience these cars are known for.
This SL comes with service records, owner’s manual, a hardtop stand, a clean Carfax report showing no accidents or damage, and a clean Texas title. The Carfax also shows registration history in New Jersey and California.
