Background Story of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL

Overview of 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL For Sale by Owner

Say what you will, but the peak of Mercedes-Benz technology, comfort and space has got to be the S-Class. Introduced in 1972, the S-Class continues to this day, consistently raising the bar for not only Mercedes-Benz, but the full-size luxury car segment as a whole. It’s inspired a host of contenders from East to West, but none have been able to match up so far. This isn’t just true of the 2025 models; taking a trip down S-Class Memory Lane reveals a consistent streak of excellence. If ever you sought proof of that statement, here’s proof in the form of a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL for sale right now. This Baltimore-based beauty has traveled over 51,000 miles and could be yours for the taking. Act fast, because a classic S-Class in great condition is basically an appreciating asset!

Exterior and Interior

The looks of this era of S-Class are the penmanship of the great Bruno Sacco, a legend in contemporary and classic Mercedes-Benz design circles. Hailing from the W126 era, this fine example flaunts itself in a silver suit, and rolls on the correct alloy wheels for the period. In fact, the entire car is a time capsule of what top-tier luxury motoring in 1988 looked like. Since its an SEL variant, its got a longer wheelbase for even more rear-seat space, and this shows in the car’s side profile. The interior of this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL continues the time capsule look with a very period-correct Navy Blue theme, punctuated by some fine wood trim. You’ll find leather-upholstered seating for up to five adults here. The center console hosts the car’s climate control system as well as a period-correct Becker radio cassette player. Power windows, power mirrors, power front seats and even a power radio antenna are all standard amenities for this car, as is a sunroof. Then, you pop the trunk and see how spacious it is, reminding you once again why Mercedes-Benz is widely considered to make the best cars in the world.

Engine

Of course, with all this luxury on board, you need a stout engine to lug it around with grace. That’s precisely what this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL offers, with a 5.6-liter V8 doing duty under the hood. The engine is reportedly rated at 238hp and 287lb-ft of torque for US market cars. It drives the rear wheels via a 4-speed 4G-TRONIC automatic gearbox.

What was the finest full-size luxury car that one could buy in the '80s? Many would say that it was the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class. Produced between 1979 and 1991 as a sedan and wagon, the W126 is considered to be the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz in the 20th century. It’s no surprise that many discerning petrolheads would relish the chance to own and drive a W126 – because it’s a car that’s meant to be driven and enjoyed, not secreted away in a climate-controlled storage facility. So, we’re proud to make one lucky petrolhead’s dream come true, with this 96,000-mile 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL up for sale right now. Act fast, because W126s don’t hang around, and particularly not when they’re in great condition like this one.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

PENDING SALE
$109,999

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$89,999

Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.

1977 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$20,000

Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
