The Mercedes-Benz SL nameplate enjoys a glorious history dating back to the original 300SL Gullwing. Thanks to American importer Max Hoffmann, Mercedes-Benz was convinced to sell the SL as a personal luxury car in the United States, and it has been available since 1954. This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is from the famous R107 generation that ran between 1971 and 1989. This generation enjoyed a particularly close relationship with Hollywood. It was seen on the silver screen as the preferred car for the wealthy, and stars loved it enough that they bought it and drove it off-screen too. So, if you want to own a car that was one of the most sought-after in America during the Seventies and Eighties, this 67,230-mile example is great. We're told that this is an all-original car, making it even more coveted.
Wearing a lustrous green paint job, this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL will still turn heads as you cruise by in it. The car even comes with the original hardtop, making it a true all-weather, all-season vehicle. You can keep the hard top at home and enjoy glorious summer days in true convertible style. Should the sun get too hot or a sudden drizzle come your way, there's a black canvas top at your disposal. Then, when the seasons get wet and windy, you can install the hardtop and enjoy a proper fixed-head coupe experience. To cap it all off, the car reportedly wears new tires on its classic Mercedes-Benz wheels, so you need not worry about old and cracked rubber. Inside, we find a luxurious tan cabin with two leather seats and wood trim. As a pinnacle luxury car, you'll find amenities such as automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, power mirrors, and power door locks. There's even a power antenna for the period Becker Grand Prix, electronic radio with a cassette tape player. Pop the trunk, and you'll find it to be in similarly clean and neat order.
Powered by a 5.6L V8 with fuel injection, this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL enjoys 227hp and 287lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox. There's more than enough power for highway cruising, while the power-assisted disc brakes on all wheels ensure that stopping power is ample.
The Mercedes-Benz R107 series of the fine SL-Class ran between 1971 and 1989. It is the second longest single-generation in Mercedes-Benz history, eclipsed only by the mighty G-Class. But that doesn’t mean the Mercedes-Benz were resting on their laurels. Contrary to that, they focused on incremental improvements and upgrades for every model year. That’s why if you were to park this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL next to one from the initial years of the production run, you’d notice differences in the interior amenities, plus under the skin. So, if you want a later-model SL from the R107 generation, you can buy this car from us. It may have done 141,000 miles, but that’s mere child’s play for a well-maintained classic Merc.
The SL name has long been associated with sleek, graceful roadsters. In the late 50s and early 60s, Mercedes famously created the 300SL and the 190SL, and then the W113 SL series in the mid to late 60s, which were heralded as some of the best-looking cars of the era. Now the question lay, come the early 70s, could Mercedes keep up with this heritage? And they did, with the R107. Based on the W114 chassis, the R107 series was made from 1971 to 1989 as the sole 2-seater roadster in the Mercedes lineup. Following up on the success of the W113 SL in the US market, greater focus was placed on making the R107 more American-friendly, from the headlamps to the engine options. The 560SL was the flagship version in the US market, available from 1986 to 1989, with the 5.6L V8. The 500SL was even more powerful as it wasn’t held back by US emissions regulations but was never officially available in the US market for the same reason.
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.

So, if you want a contemporary, V8-powered roadster with plenty of modern touches but none of today’s excessive digital screens, this car is for you.

So if you’ve been lusting after one of these fine cruisers, check out this 2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK 320 that’s just come up for sale. The car has got all its maintenance up to date, and shows 86,000 miles on the odometer.
