Vehicle Details
This auction is for my 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL that I purchased in Jacksonville on August of 2022, because of the low mileage and the perfect condition at 48704 miles only. This car drives great and as a Mercedes should drive in this condition, close to perfect. I have three 560 SL’s at this point but I have to sell them because I ordered two new vehicles that I thought I will never get, but I did. But with limited time to work on it and needing room for the new toys, I feel that it is time for a new owner to enjoy this great car. I know I will regret this decision but I have no choice. It will be difficult to find another SL in this condition.The Benz is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and it is finished in Signal Red over a beautiful black leather interior. The equipment includes a limited-slip differential, a black top soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels, quad headlights, fog lights, an alarm system, electric windows, central locking, and automatic climate control. This R107 560SL is being auctioned with the owner’s manual, service records, a hardtop stand, an unused tool kit and all the accessories as when the car was brand new. The car comes with a clean AutoCheck report, and a clean Florida title. The car has been serviced since new and I have the documentation of some services. The car will go home with the new owner with a complete service. The car is finished in Signal Red (568) and features a color-matched removable hardtop. Additional features include quad headlights, fog lights, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim. The soft top is almost in new condition and has an operating power antenna. Silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels that look like brand new, are mounted with 205/65 Michelin Defender T+H tires that are almost new and with very low mileage. The car was factory equipped with power steering, a fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.The two bucket seats are upholstered in new Black leather, and interior amenities include electric windows, central locking, and automatic climate control. The radio and the cassette works.The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including 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 shows 87k miles.The 5.5-liter V8 was factory rated at 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque.Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Please note that I won’t be afraid to drive this car anywhere, it is close to the perfect SL.Shipping: Buyer is responsible for shipping costs and I ca assist in the process.Payment: Please, be ready to buy when you click in this auction.
