We all love the 1987 Mercedes 560SL because it's a timeless status symbol built with impeccable quality. So when you can get a full loaded example with a stellar restored interior, then you're looking at irresistible ticket to high society.The factory-correct Arctic White has a sophisticated luster in the sunshine, which tells you this has received the right care over the years. The body panels still hold the precision straightness that Mercedes is known for, and the trim is complete right down to the bumper guards. But the most impressive part of this particular Mercedes is the trio of personalities is can convey all in one vehicle. The white hardtop gives it a sophisticated coupe appearance. Plus, the black folding roof matches so well with the rubber on the bumpers and full rub strips, that it gives this SL a distinct black and white two-tone presence. And when both tops are off, there is a third distinct personality.The tan interior still retains a nice color, and that thanks to a serious investment in key areas like the carpeting, dash pad, and leather seats to replace everything with correct and fresh pieces. Even the woodgrain center console is new. When this stellar package is viewed against the white paint, it has the great European combo that makes you feel like you were using this to cross over into the Swiss Alps. The 560SL was one of the most expensive cars Mercedes offered during its reign, so the features list is quite long. It includes conveniences such as power windows, power steering, cruise control, and the correct Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo. Because this was built in 1987, there are also more modern safety features than most other R107s, such as anti-lock brakes, a third brake light, and a driver's air bag. But the feature you're going to love the most is the modern R134a air conditioning. That means you can stay comfortable with the top down for years to come.Under the hood is the 5.6-liter V8. The 560SL was really the car to have from the R107 period because it combined a powerful motor with a reputation for bulletproof durability. But all you really need to know is that out on the road this luxury convertible strikes the perfect balance between nimble machine and all-weekend cruiser. That's thanks to a specially engineered fully independent suspension, four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, and four-wheel disc brakes. They all work in harmony to provide a true luxury experience that has been the envy of other car makers.Complete with owner's manual, this is the superior classic that begs for the long way home and can carry all the luggage for a weekend getaway.
