Produced over eighteen years, the R107 generation of SL-Class is arguably one of the most iconic from Mercedes-Benz’s long SL series. Today’s 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes wearing a sleek black coat of paint augmented by 15-inch silver alloy wheels. Moreover, it’s a definitive US market car as showcased by its elongated bumpers and dual headlamps. The car also appears to be wearing its removable black hard top, which is a nice feature for use during the wetter and colder months of the year. The gray interior of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL offers comfortable seating for a driver and passenger, with a padded luggage space directly behind. European market cars squeezed a small rear seat here, but US market cars swapped that for more cargo capacity. We feel that it’s a better use of the space, making this a great car to take for that road trip you’ve been dreaming of. Plus, there’s wood trim, power windows, automatic climate control, a period-correct Becker Grand Prix radio with power antenna, and even cruise control to make your drives as comfortable and convenient as possible.
Powering this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a suitably grunty 5.6-liter V8. The engine uses Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection for better performance and cold starting. It’s rated at 227hp and 287lb-ft, which is plenty, even today. Moreover, the car’s got a 4-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive for that quintessential Grand Tourer driving feel.

In 1971, Mercedes-Benz revealed the R107 generation of their popular SL-Class luxury grand tourer.

Interestingly, over 204,000 of those units came to the United States, representing a 68% share of total production!
