5.6L SOHC V8 w/Bosch Injection Comes with Hardtop
STK 3722 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL
Mercedes roadsters exported to the US came in many configurations over the years. Back in mid-80s, Mercedes got everything right with their 560SL, offering essentially bulletproof reliability, satisfying power and aggressive good looks. The 560SL combined all that Mercedes had learned into a cultural icon that quietly and confidently told the world its occupants had 'arrived'. This original 1988 560SL roadster has been carefully maintained by the current owner for the last 30 years and is in exceptional condition. (Comprehensive records are included with the car.) The factory Astral Silver Metallic finish is outstanding, as is the Burgundy leather interior. This is a very inviting cockpit with burlwood accents, climate control A/C, Panasonic AM/FM/CD sound system, power tinted windows/locks/mirrors and cruise. Horsepower is furnished by a 5.6-liter SOHC V-8 w/Bosch injection that delivers 227bhp-279 lb/ft to a four-speed automatic gearbox. The 560SL has power steering, fully independent suspension and 4-wheel ABS power disc brakes. Classic MB factory wheels mount new BFGoodrich radial tires. The 560SL comes with two tops – a manually operated soft top and optional hardtop, along with a cover for the car.. The owner has also included a storage rack and cover for the hardtop when not in service. Look at the photos again, judge for yourself. This is an excellent 560SL that will not be here long. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
