Vehicle Overview


This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is finished in Signal Red over Palomino leather, and it is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a dark brown soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, chrome 15? wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, and central locking. The car has spent its life in California, and it was acquired by the current owner in 1999. This R107 shows 86k miles and is now offered on dealer consignment with a jack, a first-aid kit, trophies, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.

The car is finished in Signal Red (568) with a matching removable hardtop and a dark brown convertible top. Exterior equipment includes front fog lamps, a power antenna, and chrome-trimmed bumpers and mirrors. The selling dealer notes evidence of paintwork, and chipped paint on the trailing edge of the passenger door can be seen up close in the gallery below.

Chrome 15? alloy wheels are mounted with 205/65 Michelin Premier A/S tires that were reportedly installed in 2015. Braking is handled by four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.

The cabin features Palomino leather upholstery on the seats as well as matching door panels and carpets, a black upper dashboard, and burled wood trim. Equipment includes automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, central locking, and beige embroidered floor mats. The clock and the Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo do not work.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 86k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership.

The 5.5-liter M117 V8 was rated from the factory at 227 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The selling dealer reports that the under-hood insulation was replaced in 2016, and the spark plugs were replaced in 2017. An oil change was performed in August 2021.
