This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is finished in Arctic White over a gray MB-Tex interior and powered by a 5.5-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car was sold new in Florida and was acquired by its current owner in February 2019. Features includea black soft top, a factory Becker Grand Prix stereo, air conditioning, a dealer-installed rear seat, and more. A new brake master cylinder, head gaskets,steering damper, andfront brakes were reportedly installed in March 2019 along with fluid changes. This R107 shows 60k miles and is offered by the selling dealer on behalf of the current owner with a color-matched hardtop, a tool kit, recent service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.

The body and matching hardtop are finished in Arctic White (147), and the car retains US-spec lighting and bumpers. The rear quarter panels were repainted under previous ownership according to the selling dealer. The black soft top features a plastic rear window and can be seen both raised and lowered in the included photos.
