1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Base Convertible 2-Door 5.6L From CALIFORNIA

1987 Mercedes-Benz 500-Series Description

1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL R107 Roadster

Up for sale is very nicely kept, 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. Its desirable and rare Diamond

Blue Metallic Paint shines beautifully and Powerful V8 engine purrs and runs strong as ever.

Now that the W113 230/250/280SL's have become priced out of sight, here comes the

560SL - THE Next Collectible SL Roadster!

As recently as the mid 1990's, and early 2000’s you could pick up a nice condition 1971

280SL Pagoda Roadster for around $20,000. Almost in the blink of an eye, that's what a basket

case now goes for - with good condition examples regularly selling north of $75k and more. There

are good reasons for this: scarcity, limited production, and a demographic generational shift that

shows the 50's and 60's muscle car prices have peaked and the next generation is after the

desirable cars they remember - which mostly came from Germany in the 70's, 80's and early

1990's.

In the 560SL, Mercedes got it all just right, offering essentially bullet-proof reliability, satisfying

power, and aggressive good looks. The 560SL combined all that Mercedes learned about the V-8 R107

chassis cars into a cultural icon that quietly and confidently told the world its occupants had "arrived."

The R107 chassis was one of the longest running production bodies in the Diamler-Benz AG's

line, and R107s are extremely well built and collectable. It is also the first V8 powered two-seater to be

built at the Stuttgart, Germany factory.

Exterior:

as well! There is not a lot of 560SL’s out there in this solid and nicely kept and preserved condition!!
