This is a well-maintained, very original 560SL. It is mechanically excellent and runs strong and fast. This is an unmolested, rust-free, and accident-free car from California in a rare color combination.
Exterior Condition: The Cabernet Red Metallic paint appears to be 100% original. There are a few minor blemishes and areas with clear coat issues, please see the photos. All chrome trim is present and shines nicely, without any significant wear or damage. The soft top operates correctly, and was replaced recently with a high quality top. The original tool roll is complete. The trunk compartment is in original condition and excellent. The period-correct pin striping has one flaw; please see the photo. All of the glass is factory-original and without scratches, pitting, or other damage. The original Daimler-Benz decal is still present on the windshield. The headlamps, turn signals, fog lamps, and taillights are without cracks or fading. All of the factory decals and data plates are present.
Interior Condition: The creme beige upholstery is in excellent condition. The carpets are original and excellent and without wear, tears, stains or fading. The dashboard is in excellent condition, as is the wood trim. The headliner and sun visors are in excellent condition. The door panels are original and undamaged. All instruments work properly. The switches, knobs, buttons, turn signal lever, cruise control, etc. are in working order. The leather steering wheel is in excellent condition. The original Becker radio is present and in working order along with the correct original Hirschmann antenna. Both electric window regulators function well. Central locking functions. The air conditioning is cold and the heater and defroster operate properly.
Mechanical Condition: This car starts, runs, drives, and handles fantastic. It has been driven regularly but sparingly since new, and has never sat for any extended period of time. The engine is fast and strong, and does not burn oil. The transmission shifts crisply and smoothly. There are no driveline vibrations or noise. The suspension is tight and comfortable, and the steering is responsive and without any play. There are no pending maintenance issues.
The 560SL is the pinnacle of the R107 range for North America. With the larger engine, improved fuel injection, and revised rear suspension the 560SL is the fastest, best handling, and easiest to live with of the 107 series SLs in the North American market. This is a fine, low mileage, rust-free example that is impressively original, needs nothing and can be enjoyed as-is all summer.
The car is available for pick up in San Rafael, California.
