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.
