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

The Mercedes-Benz R107 line of convertibles was highly regarded in the Personal Luxury Car market when it was introduced in the 1980s. Even today, its timeless style and instantly recognizable design make it one of the most sought-after classic Mercedes-Benz models from their back catalog. The 1987 Mercedes Benz 560SL Cabriolet was one of the most powerful models in the Mercedes lineup at the time. Introduced in 1986, it offered North American consumers a genuinely potent version of the SL—one that consumers had been desperate for since grey market examples of the 500SL were outlawed from sale in 1985. Our featured car is reported to have the original engine and transmission in place, with recent maintenance carried out to ensure the next custodian has many miles of worry-free classic motoring.

Exterior and Interior

This gold-on-tan example of 1987 Mercedes Benz 560SL Cabriolet is the perfect poster child of what success looked like in the ’80s. The clean and boxy lines of the R107-generation SL are complemented perfectly by a removable hardtop for extra style and protection from the elements. This Mercedes sports car sits on 15-inch wheels with chrome hub caps wrapped in new Pirelli tires. You’ll find a convertible soft top and the car’s original tan-colored leather interior underneath the hardtop. Being a top-of-the-line Mercedes from the ’80s, all the usual modern conveniences are present, including air conditioning, power locks, and power windows. Behind the four-spoke steering wheel, you’ll find a speedometer that reads up to 160 mph and has indices in both miles and kilometers. There’s also a tachometer and readouts for the engine temperature, fuel level, economy, and oil pressure.

Engine

This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Cabriolet is the perfect example of originality. It reportedly features the car’s original engine and transmission. The engine in question is a 5.6-liter V8 with a factory rating of 227 hp and 287 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. The owner reports that the car has undergone recent maintenance, including new fuel injectors and a new fuel pump.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
