The Nineties was truly a wonderous time for Mercedes-Benz. The New S-Class has just been revealed and took the world by storm. It sure had the best in terms of luxury and was arguably the greatest S Class ever made. But what if you wanted the Star on your car, but didn’t want a large sedan, rather a smaller, sporty package? The Mercedes-Benz SL was the answer to that. More specifically the R129 generation of the SL. Released in 1989 and sold alongside the iconic W140 S-Class you definitely got the best of both worlds in one neat package to drive up the hills and experience true driving nirvana as well as cruise in style at the most exclusive places in the world and not look odd. If you are looking for the perfect grand tourer that exudes luxury and class, this 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 sure is the one for you. Located in California this mint example is reportedly up for sale by the original owners with the owner reporting that the car has run just 22,606 miles since it rolled off the factory floor 23 years ago.
Exterior and Interior
With their iconic design the SL-Class sure looked more expensive and classier than the price tag they carried. It sure can take the fight to many of the more exotic cars out there even today. This 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 sports a very unique green exterior. It’s something that you don't see every day, but the color really brings out its personality and design cues very well. The car sits on a set of chrome wheels which goes well with the timeless design. When you think of Mercedes-Benz its not odd to think of some of the most luxurious interiors and this 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is no different. The interior is beige in color and sports all its original components be it the original Mercedes-Benz radio or the original steering wheel present in the car. The owner reports that the interior and exterior color combination is rare as well.
Engine
With German reliability and engineering you really never can go wrong. The 1999 model year for the R129 SL saw the introduction of a 5.0 L V8 engine which this 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 has under its long hood. The engine was capable of pushing out 302hp when new which is more than enough to enjoy a weekend cruise. Power is sent to the rear wheels of the car through an automatic transmission.
The R230-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class arrived as one of the most technologically advanced roadsters of its era, blending traditional Mercedes-Benz luxury with innovations such as a fully retractable hardtop and the brand’s sophisticated electronic chassis systems. This 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 represents the naturally aspirated V8-powered heart of the lineup, featuring the proven 5.0L M113 V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Showing 73,171 miles, this example is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over a Charcoal interior and features Natural Maple Wood Trim, aftermarket wheels, tinted taillights, and SL 55 AMG badging that give it a more performance-inspired presence.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has long represented the brand’s vision of the ultimate personal luxury roadster, combining sports car performance with the refinement of a grand touring coupe. Introduced for the 2003 model year, the R230-generation SL brought a new era of technology to the legendary SL nameplate, replacing the traditional soft top with an innovative retractable power hardtop that could transform the car from a sleek coupe into an open-air roadster at the touch of a button. This 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 carries that formula forward with its timeless design, advanced engineering, and naturally aspirated V8 power. Showing approximately 123,845 miles, this example is finished in Fire Opal Red Unilac over a Beige interior and is equipped with desirable features including AMG Double-Spoke 18-inch wheels, Keyless-GO, COMAND navigation, Bose premium audio, and heated front seats. At the heart of the SL 500 is Mercedes-Benz’s highly regarded 5.0L M113 V8, delivering the smooth, effortless performance that made the SL-Class a benchmark among luxury grand tourers. Designed for drivers who appreciate both craftsmanship and capability, this SL 500 represents an era when Mercedes-Benz combined advanced technology, elegant styling, and traditional V8 character into one sophisticated roadster.
The R129-generation Mercedes-Benz SL is widely regarded as one of the brand's finest grand touring roadsters, blending timeless styling, advanced engineering, and exceptional build quality. Introduced to commemorate the legendary 1955 300 SL "Silver Arrow" race cars, the 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 Silver Arrow Edition was produced in limited numbers for the model's final year in the United States, making it one of the most desirable variants of the R129. This example shows approximately 72,910 miles and is finished in exclusive Silver Arrow Metallic over a distinctive Black and Silver two-tone Nappa leather interior. Combining rarity with luxury and V8 performance, this limited-production roadster offers collectors and enthusiasts an opportunity to own one of Mercedes-Benz's most celebrated modern classics.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
