This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, in all its Smoke Silver Metallic can be widely considered to be one of the best starter classic cars around. It’s perfect for those who want to experience pre-digital era motoring, for multiple reasons. You see, this car comes from the fine Mercedes-Benz R107 SL-Class, which ran between 1971 and 1989. Since it’s a later-model car, it’s got features such as a more modern interior, a 4-speed automatic gearbox and a 5.6-liter fuel-injected V8. Plus, this example from Clearfield, Pennsylvania also comes with its removable hardtop included with the sale, maintenance records, and one red key. Don’t worry about its 99,303 miles; that’s nothing for Mercedes-Benzes of this era.
Exterior and Interior
The timeless lines of the R107, paired with its sturdy engineering and solid mechanicals make cars like this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL ideal even for daily use in 2026. Wearing a sleek coat of Smoke Silver Metallic and riding on a set of Gullideckel wheels, this is classic Mercedes-Benz right there. North American market cars like this one came with dual headlamps and elongated bumpers, but even those do little to detract from the car’s sheer beauty. Plus, you’ve got two cars in one with this machine! Pop on the detachable hardtop and you’ve got a proper, metal-roofed coupe to drive around in. Otherwise, remove it and keep it at home for a proper convertible experience. You’ll still have the use of a brown convertible soft top in case things get too warm or a bit drizzly. The brown leather interior of this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL can accommodate two adults with ease. There’s a padded luggage area behind the seats, augmenting the car’s suitably spacious trunk. Since this is a later-model R107, it’s got the airbag-equipped steering wheel as well. Other key features include automatic climate control, a Sony radio with cassette tape player and CD changer control, power windows and a power antenna.
