1989 Mercedes-Benz 560-Class 560 SL

* $69,995 * Cruisin Classics is proud to present to you today this exquisite 1989 Mercedes Benz 560 SL. This German beauty is a stunning example of the final year of the legendary R107 series, and it boasts just 29,154 actual miles! Over the past 6 years, this Mercedes has been meticulously restored to a very high level and has also been upgraded with some European flair. It sits before us today dressed in a very high-quality respray (done in 2018) of dark gray metallic paint that looks fantastic. There have been several modifications made to this car that really make it stand out from the crowd. Both front and rear bumpers have been upgraded to the European versions, with more chrome showing on the sides and no obnoxious rubber bumperettes that were required on US exports. The quad headlights have been replaced as well, with the more attractive and sleek single lights on each side. The taillights have also been replaced with their more appealing European counterparts. Lastly, the third brake light on the trunk lid has been deleted. Taken as a whole, these changes make a noticeable improvement to what is already a gorgeous car. Brightwork is plentiful and in excellent condition with some pieces having been replaced with new ones (evidenced by restoration receipts). The removable hardtop is in like-new condition and there is a stand and cover for it in the trunk. This SL rolls down the road on stock aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Premier tires. Under the hood, you'll find a totally stock engine bay with the original 5.6 liter V-8 at its center. The 227hp V-8 is mated up to a 4-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Stopping power comes from 4-wheel power disc brakes with ABS. The undercarriage of this Benz is clean as a pin, with many of the suspension components having been repainted black when the restoration work was done. Open the driver's door to reveal an elegant tan interior illuminated by working courtesy lights. The door panels are in excellent condition and the driver has an internal toggle for the side mirror. The front bucket seats are dressed in leather and look like new. In the rear, a previous owner installed a very high-quality jump seat complete with seatbelts. Between the front seats is a center console that boasts all-new burled wood inserts as well as a custom wood shift lever, power window controls, and a power mirror adjuster for the passenger side. There is also a specially made wooden box that fits in the console under the fold-down armrest. Beautiful burled wood travels from the console up onto the center dash where you'll find an ashtray hidden behind a panel with a wood handle. Moving upward you'll find the climate control system which offers cold A/C (134A upgraded) and hot heat, then a Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/Cassette stereo. There are also switches for the power antenna, rear defrost, and map light, as well as a thermometer. In the glovebox is the original owner's manual and tools for removing the hardtop. The top of the dash is a crack-free black vinyl that is a nice contrast to the tan and woodgrain trim beneath. Ahead of the driver is a leather-wrapped steering wheel with an airbag and Mercedes logo. Also on the column are controls for the 3-speed wipers and cruise control. The gauge cluster offers a 160mph speedometer, tachometer with 6K redline, a working clock, and gauges for fuel, temp, and oil. The carpet throughout the interior was replaced during the refresh and is in excellent condition. Keeping the carpet nice are carpeted logo floormats. Back in the carpeted trunk is the factory first aid kit and a car cover (in addition to the aforementioned top stand and cover). Also in the trunk is a folder of receipts for work dating back to 2017. In 2018, roughly $50K was invested into the car! When the car was purchased in 2021, it was taken to Crown Eurocars Dublin here in Columbus, Ohio where it underwent another $10K of work including (but not limited to) a new rear
