- 1987 MY Mercedes Benz 560SEC Coupe
- New speakers
- New amplifier
- Wheels from a 1981 model
The modern Mercedes-Benz is a car that’s packed with technology, sharp styling, and coveted the world over. It wasn’t that much more different forty or even fifty years ago. Let’s take the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class as an example. Introduced in 1979, the W126 is regarded as an iconic model of the Star’s lineup, even in 2022. The coupe variant, known as the SEC is the lesser-known choice for the well-heeled in the Eighties, as the Hollywood sweetheart R107 SL stole the show. If you’d like to buck the trend with a classic Eighties two-door Merc that isn’t an SL, this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC is a fine contender for your attention, with just 75,000 miles on the clock since new: not bad for a 35-year-old car.
Exterior and Interior
With lines penned by legendary Mercedes-Benz designer Bruno Sacco, one can gaze upon this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC all day, wearing its black and silver paintwork. What’s more interesting is that this example wears classic Mercedes-Benz rims from an older model; a 1981 design to be precise. Looking closer, you begin to notice the finer details on this 194-inch long car, such as the wipers for the headlamps, the chrome detailing, and of course, the 560 SEC badging at the rear proclaiming that this is the top of the range model. The head and tail lamp lenses are in good condition for their age as well, which is not an easy thing to find. The interior presents itself in a brown-tan theme, and is in reasonable condition for the age of the car. It’s not showroom fresh, but hasn’t been used badly either. Four adults can travel in this car, and it’s got a decent helping of tech for the 1980s. There’s of course no digital instrument cluster or MBUX infotainment system, instead you have the supremely readable analog Merc cluster, and the sound system’s head unit is an aftermarket one that feeds a new Kicker amplifier and new speakers. You’ve also got front electric seats, climate control, electric windows and electric mirrors. The trunk is also in reasonable shape, and there’s a fire extinguisher included for peace of mind, although we highly doubt that you’d need to use it.
Engine
Packing a 5.6L fuel-injected V8 beneath the long hood, it’s no surprise that this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC has a decent go-factor to match its looks. North American cars were sadly endowed with lower power figures than their German counterparts owing to emissions regulations, however the output when new was still in the 240hp and 288lb-ft region, driving the rear wheels via a smooth-shifting 4G-TRONIC four-speed automatic transmission. That means zero to sixty in under eight seconds when new, and a top speed of over 140mph. These Mercs aren’t rubber-burners as you might glean, but long-distance cruisers.
Representing one of the most enduring luxury roadsters ever built, this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL embodies the timeless engineering and elegant restraint that defined Mercedes-Benz in the 1980s. Showing 110,111 miles, this U.S.-spec R107 is powered by the flagship V8 introduced for the American market in 1986, making it one of the most desirable variants of the legendary SL lineage. Finished in classic black over a Palomino leather interior, this 560 SL delivers the kind of analog grand touring experience that has made the R107 one of Mercedes-Benz’s most collectible modern classics. Built for comfort, durability, and effortless cruising rather than outright aggression, the 560 SL remains a benchmark of old-school Mercedes craftsmanship.
The R107-generation Mercedes-Benz SL is one of the most enduring luxury roadsters ever built, blending timeless styling, engineering solidity, and grand touring comfort in a way few convertibles have managed.

This particular 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL shows approximately 50,539 miles and presents in one of the marque’s most elegant period combinations, finished in Arctic White over a blue interior with a matching blue soft top. With its removable factory hardtop, classic Mercedes overengineering, and unmistakable presence, this SL remains one of the most usable and desirable modern classics from Stuttgart.

This particular example shows 244,776 miles, a strong testament to the longevity and engineering integrity that Mercedes-Benz built its reputation on. Finished in Anthracite Grey Metallic, it carries a more understated and sophisticated presence compared to brighter period colors. Despite the mileage, the car retains key factory-correct features such as the Becker Grand Prix radio and Zebrano wood trim, reinforcing its originality. As the top-spec U.S. model, the 560SL delivers smooth power, classic styling, and a driving experience that remains relevant decades later.

For 2026, the model enters a new era with the addition of a 48-volt mild hybrid system, enhancing both performance and efficiency while preserving the commanding character that has made the G 63 an automotive icon. This particular example shows just 178 miles and is finished in elegant Iridium Silver Metallic over a Black Nappa Leather interior. Equipped with desirable factory options including 22-inch AMG polished forged monoblock wheels, the Seat Comfort Package, AMG red brake calipers, and multicontour massage seats, this nearly new G 63 offers buyers the opportunity to experience one of the world’s most sought-after luxury SUVs without the wait associated with a factory order.
The Mercedes-Benz W113 “Pagoda” is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful roadsters ever produced, blending elegant styling, engineering sophistication, and grand touring comfort into a timeless package. This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Restomod takes that iconic foundation and elevates it with modern Mercedes-Benz performance and drivability through the installation of a 5.0L M113 V8 and matching 5G-Tronic automatic transmission sourced from a 2003 SL500. Showing approximately 7,571 miles, this professionally upgraded roadster combines the unmistakable charm of a classic Pagoda with contemporary reliability, comfort, and power, creating a unique driving experience that can be enjoyed far more frequently than a traditional vintage automobile.
