Overview of 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL For Sale by Owner

The Mercedes-Benz SL is known to be one of the best luxury grand tourers in the world. With a lineage directly traceable back to the original 300SL Gullwing of 1954, the nameplate has plenty of reverence in petrolhead circles, too. Many will recall, in particular, the R107 generation from 1971 to 1989. This generation is famous because Hollywood loved it. Many movies featured the car driven by affluent characters in the movies. Moreover, the stars themselves fell in love with the R107, and many ended up owning and driving these cars off-screen, too. That's why the market is full of great examples, such as this 82,000-mile 1987 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Convertible, waiting for its next owner. Will that be you?

Exterior and Interior

Showcasing its clean lines in a functional gray paintwork, this 1987 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Convertible has all the classic cues of the R107, including the chrome hubcaps, North American-mandated dual sealed-beam headlamps, and elongated bumpers. We're told it also has a functional convertible top. However, calling this car a convertible is only half of its story. You see, the R107 also includes a removable hardtop, making this a true all-weather cruiser. So you can install the hardtop for winter and remove it for summer. The convertible top also offers protection in case the sun gets too hot or a sudden rain cloud appears overhead. Inside, you'll find that this 1987 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Convertible offers comfortable seating for a driver and a passenger within an attractive red leather cabin. Few cars can pull off a red interior, and the R107 is definitely one of them. Furthermore, this car is impressively well-equipped. Standard features include power windows, power mirrors, climate control, and a powered radio antenna. The original radio has been replaced by a more modern head unit, and some aftermarket speakers lie within the rear luggage shelf behind the seats. There's even cruise control and an airbag-equipped steering wheel.

Engine

This 1987 Mercedes-Benz SL560 Convertible is powered by a 5.6L V8 that makes 227hp and 287lb-ft. Power goes to the rear wheels through a 4G-TRONIC four-speed automatic gearbox. Meanwhile, the engine has Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection as standard, aiding fuel economy and cold starting. Braking is taken care of by front and rear discs.
