1989 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is finished in Garnet Red over Cream Beige leather and is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The car is said to have been purchased new by the seller's family from Leo Payne Mercedes-Benz in Colorado, spent time in Texas before returning to Colorado, and was then shipped to New York after being acquired by the seller in 2014. Equipment includes a body-color removable hardtop, a factory black soft top, 15 alloy wheels, heated front seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows, and a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. Service under current ownership has included the replacement of the battery, muffler, rear brakes and rotors, valve cover gaskets, distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs and wires, and the engine mounts, as well as a rebuild of the power steering pump and conversion of the air-conditioning system to R134a refrigerant. This R107 shows 65k miles and is now offered with manufacturer's literature, service records, a California car cover, a removed factory AM/FM stereo, a tool kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean FL title in the seller's name. The car is finished in Garnet Red (512) with painted beige pinstripes and equipped with a color-matched removable hardtop, a factory black soft top, fog lamps, a power antenna, a power-adjustable passenger-side mirror, and a single exhaust outlet. The seller states that blemishes to the finish on the driver-side door and front fender were repaired under previous ownership. Cracks are noted in the piping surrounding the rear convertible top side windows. Chrome 15 Gullideckel wheels are mounted with 205/65 Cooper CS5 Ultra Touring tires that show 2017 date codes. The car is equipped with an independent suspension and four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. The seller notes that the rear brakes and rotors were replaced and the power steering pump was rebuilt. The cabin features Cream Beige (275) leather upholstery on the heated seats along with matching door panels and burl wood accents on the console and dash. Equipment includes automatic climate control, cruise control, power windows and locks, a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, and a pair of aftermarket speakers mounted in enclosures behind the front seats. The removed Becker radio and black Mercedes-Benz floor mats are included in the sale. The seller notes that the glove box inner door has been replaced, wear is visible on the driver's outer seat bolster, and the leather upholstery on each upper door panel is wrinkled. The 5.5-liter M117 V8 features Bosch fuel injection and was factory rated at 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque.
