1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Convertible Red RWD Automatic SL

Description for Mercedes-Benz 560SL 1987

I have enjoyed this beautiful 560SL in my collection for several years. It has been serviced yearly with typical oil & filter changes and air filter. Thousands $$$ in receipts for work performed during my ownership, most work performed at my local Mercedes’ dealer here in Tyler TX. Has all new suspension components, control arms, bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, new power steering gear box and hoses (original was leaky) struts and shocks front and rear, new ignition switch, intake manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets, water pump & thermostat, belts and hoses, spark plugs and wires complete tune up as well as new front and rear crank position sensors. New brake pads and rotors on all 4 corners. New battery. I am probably forgetting a few things here that I have had replaced but I think you can get the idea that I have been thorough with servicing this car and it is very reliable. Engine is powerful and accelerates smoothly, transmission shifts perfect. All gauges operate properly. Cruise control works. Air conditioner works when I add Freon but it leaks out same season and I haven’t taken the time to investigate. Occasionally I have had an ABS brake light come on but the brakes stop the car effortlessly and I have not had this light investigated. The stainless brightwork is great, paint is original and I would rate it at least a 7 out of 10 for its age, only two places with a couple small door dings, not very noticeable. Leather interior is very nice for its age and the seats are still pliable and soft not hard or brittle, dash has a couple cracks as shown on pictures. The convertible top is original and in poor condition so I purchased a new high quality German cloth top that I am including, it’s been sitting in the box for a couple years because I only drive this car in beautiful weather with the top down anyway. I encourage inspection and test drive but please make appointment before auction ends. I will expect buyer to arrange and pay for shipping, if you want to meet at Tyler airport and pay in person I can deliver the car to you with a full tank of gas and I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it on a long road trip. Please let me know if you have any questions.
