BaT Auction: 12k-Mile 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is finished in Signal Red over beige leather and is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a body-color removable hardtop, a black soft top, painted 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels, fog lights, automatic climate control, cruise control, a Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/cassette stereo, and an alarm system. The car has spent most of its life in California, Texas, and Florida, and it was acquired by the selling dealer in October 2021. This R107 shows 12k miles and is now offered by the selling dealer with a hardtop stand, three keys, literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.

The car is finished in Signal Red (568) and features a color-matched removable hardtop and a black convertible soft top. Additional features include quad headlights, front fog lamps, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and mirrors.

Silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels are wrapped in 205/65 Michelin Defender T+H tires with date codes from 2019. The car was factory equipped with power steering, a fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. The brake fluid was changed in preparation for the sale.

The bucket seats are upholstered in beige leather, and the cabin features matching door panels, burled wood trim, and a black upper dashboard. Amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, a Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/cassette stereo, an alarm system, embroidered floor mats, and power windows and locks.

The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 12k miles.

The 5.5-liter M117 V8 was factory rated at 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque. Service in preparation for the sale has reportedly included an oil change and replacing the spark plugs.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The transmission fluid was changed in preparation for the sale.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage and lists registration history in California, Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida.
