The perfect way to describe Mercedes-Benz and its grip on the automotive industry is sheer dominance on many fronts. Their convertible and roadster offerings, the R107 SL, played a big part in the market for a convertible for 18 years and was even Mercedes-Benz's 2nd longest ever running series made by the manufacturer. With prices soaring and good examples being harder to find, this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 sure is your ticket into the golden years of Mercedes-Benz roadsters. With a reported 66,000 miles on the clock, your Sunday cruises are now made more exciting.
Exterior and Interior
Over its 18 years of production, the design of the R107 SL and other roadsters barely changed. Not that anyone wanted it to change back in the day as the car captured that Mercedes-Benz charm and made for one good looking cruiser. This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 sports a beige exterior. The hardtop is in the same color, with a soft brown top reportedly included in the sale. The body is in great shape, with the US-spec bumpers and other exterior trim looking brand new. The vehicle rides on the original Mercedes-Benz chrome wheels. Matching the exterior of this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 is a brown interior that just screams 80s. While the interior of the car is primarily original, the aftermarket Sony sound system neatly nestled in the car's dashboard ensures you have some great tunes ready at all times. Included in the sale is the owner's manual.
Engine
The most potent version of the SL was the European spec 500. But none of them ever made their way to the US. However, what did make their way with demand surging is the even bigger 560SL. This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 is powered by the behemoth sized 5.6L V8 engine which was capable of pushing out 237hp when new. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a four speed automatic transmission. A Coil-spring independent front suspension and an independent swing axle with coil springs at the rear iron out road imperfections and provide a smooth ride. With this car's four-wheel power hydraulic disc brakes, stopping power is adequate too.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
Few grand tourers wear their age as gracefully as the 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, and this example captures the R107 formula in one of its most desirable late-production forms. Showing approximately 39,199 miles, it pairs a Signal Red exterior with a Palomino leather interior and Dark Brown convertible soft top, giving it the quintessential color combination many enthusiasts associate with the era. As the flagship U.S.-market R107, the 560 SL blended V8 power, understated luxury, and timeless styling into a roadster that remains one of Mercedes-Benz’s most recognizable classics.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed chapter of the long-running R107 roadster, pairing classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and a luxury-focused driving experience. Showing 111,950 miles, this example is finished in Arctic White over Alpaca Gray leather with a black convertible soft top. Its specification includes automatic climate control, a folding front armrest, heat-insulating green glass, a heated rear window, and a Sony audio head unit. With its upright grille, long hood, compact two-seat cabin, and unmistakable R107 profile, the 560 SL remains one of the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz roadsters of its era.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.

This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
