The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a top-of-the-line R107-generation roadster, produced between 1986 and 1989 specifically for the US, Canadian, Japanese, and Australian markets. It features a 5.5-liter V8 engine producing 227 hp and is widely recognized for its robust reliability, late-model R107 improvements, and classic luxury, often seen with US-spec bumpers and headlights In 1971, R107 was introduced with new design language and safety features that spread to the subsequent Mercedes-Benz models. For the first time, the V8 engines were fitted to the SL-Class. With the production from 1971 to 1989, R107 was one of few longest-produced vehicles from Mercedes-Benz. R107 received a very minor update in 1972 with new rubber-edged wing mirrors from W116 and a major update in 1985 for 1986 model year. The engine options were updated in 1980 for the 1981 model year with new aluminium V8 engines from W126 S-Class introduced in 1979 while the 2.8-litre six-cylinder in-line engine carried over. It was updated again in 1985 for the 1986 model year with new 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engine from W124 and enlarged 4.2- and 5.5-litre V8 engines while the 5.0-litre V8 engine carried over. The SLC Coupe is much rarer, produced from 1971 1981, as 280, 350, 380 and 450 SLC. With the 450 SLC, 450 SLC 5.0 and 500 SLC models, Daimler-Benz took part in major rallies at the end of the 1970s such as the 30,000 km long Vuelta à la America del Sud (1977), the Safari Rally (1979) and the Bandama Rally. The R107 received its first update in 1985 with deeper front air dam, revised brake system with larger discs and four piston calipers, driver's side airbag (standard for US market and extra-cost option for the European market), and, for the European market, catalysator option. The 5-mph bumpers and four round sealed-beam headlamps fitted to the US models remained unchanged despite the revised US FMVSS regulations that allowed the 2.5-mph bumpers and form-fitting headlamps, starting with 1982 and 1983 model years respectively. The US model received the third brake lamp mounted on the trunk in 1986. The 560 SL was sold in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia only PAUL A. 386 867 0598 BOCA RATON , FL -- INSTALLED FEATURES: Front air conditioning: automatic climate control, Front airbags: driver only, Antenna type: power, Cassette, Premium brand, Radio: AM/FM, ABS: 4-wheel, Power brakes, Steering wheel trim: leather, Center console, Cruise control, Power steering, Steering wheel: power telescopic, Gauge: tachometer, Front fog lights, Side mirror adjustments: power, Side mirrors: heated, Front seat type: bucket, Upholstery: leather, Anti-theft system: alarm, Power door locks, Wheels: aluminum alloy, Front wipers: intermittent, Power windows, Tinted glass, Window defogger: rear
