It’s a hard fact, not all cars age well. That’s why it’s a great thing that this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is one of those cars that still looks good, and commands great desirability 33 years after it was born. The SL-Class by Mercedes-Benz dates back to 1954, and its third generation, known as the R107 ran from 1971 to 1989. From movie star, to being the car of choice for movie stars, this car’s value will only appreciate as time goes by. This specific example is from the last year of production, bears 113,000 miles on the odometer and has had some refreshment work done to it.
From 1971 to 1989, the design of the R107 went mostly unchanged, save for some incremental enhancements that you’d never know unless pointed out. Wearing a Pearl Black Metallic paint job, this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL rolls on quintessential Eighties Mercedes-Benz chromed alloy wheels wearing reportedly new tires, and showcases the North American style headlamps that were mandatory at the time. We can also see that it’s wearing the color matching hardtop, and a black soft top is included too. That’s one of the SL’s party tricks. You get a hard top and a soft top, and you can choose which one to don according to your mood. Just remember to make your choice at home before you set out. The two seat interior of this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is predominantly black, but some wood trim on the dash adds color. The interior is mostly stock, save for the radio which is an aftermarket Soundstream unit that brings CD, AUX and USB connectivity to the table, and plays through a set of aftermarket speakers mounted on the rear luggage shelf behind the seats. You’ve got climate control, power windows, and power mirrors as factory features.
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL comes with the largest engine on offer, the 5.6L V8 with Bosch fuel injection that delivered 227hp at 5,200rpm and 287lb-ft at 3,500rpm when new. Power is sent rearwards through a four speed automatic transmission. The car has reportedly received a recent tune-up, new brakes, and new steering box to freshen it up.
Arguably the most popular Mercedes-Benz model in the United States during the Seventies and Eighties, The R107 era of their SL-Class grand tourer saw over 204,000 units find homes.

Impressive as the figure may be for a luxury car, it’s even more admirable when you consider that just over 300,000 were made in total! In fact, more R107 SLs found homes Stateside than they did in Germany or anywhere else in the world.
