This 1987 Mercedes 560SL was first delivered in Canada. It made its way to New York, Florida and finally to Hawaii. The car runs and drives like it was new. It is a fun car to drive and it turns heads wherever it goes, and it should because the front axle was removed and everything that was worn was replaced.

The radiator was replaced as were all of the air conditioner components. A rebuilt power steering pump has been added and all of the fluids have been replaced. In addition, the window seals have been replaced.

The emergency brake has been refurbished and the exhaust system has been replaced including the catalytic converter. The fuel injectors have been replaced and the car tuned up. The car rides on refurbished Mercedes rims with new Goodyear tires.

The soft top and the hardtop are both in very good condition. My Mercedes mechanic told me the timing chain is in good condition. This car is a daily driver. I drive it most every day. There are paint chips and dings around the doors and there is a paint spot on the hood that does not match.

There is minor seepage from the oil pan. Everything works but the clock. This Mercedes 560SL was the top of the line variant for the R107 SL-Class. Introduced in 1986, the 560 SL was powered by a 5.5L V8 engine which was paired to an automatic transmission.

The 560SL was only sold in the United States, Canada, Japan and Australia. The larger displacement was meant to compensate for the reduced output of the 500SL 5.0 liter engine due to the stricter emission laws in these markets. Production of the 560 SL lasted until 1989, when the model series was discontinued.
