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.
