This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a styling icon. When Mercedes redesigned its famed SL in 1971, there was a lot of equity behind it, after all, when the incomparable 300SL Coupe and Roadster were built fewer than 20 years before, they set the world on fire. The next-generation 230/250/280SL in 1963 brought Mercedes' sports car down to Earth, replacing both the incredible 300SL and four-cylinder 190SL.
For the next SL, Mercedes started with the chassis of the mid-size "W114/115" model and added the motors from the large "W116" S-Class. The result was a luxurious V8 Convertible that ended up being the longest passenger car series ever produced by Mercedes-Benz to date. Despite its age, the final iteration, the 560SL, remained a prized automotive status symbol and an iconic part of the brand's lineup.
This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL exudes classic German engineering in its handsome Black Pearl exterior. The bold lines and iconic styling define this roadster's presence. Its factory 15-inch chrome-plated alloy wheels wrapped in 205/60R15 Michelin tires provide a solid foundation. The canvas soft top and removable hardtop offer versatile driving options.
Luxurious Beige leather upholstery covers the bucket seats creating an inviting cabin atmosphere. The center console features wood accents with accessory cup holders, adding warmth to the interior. The black dash houses clear gauges, while the upgraded Alpine AM/FM/CD radio with Bluetooth provides cruising music. Power windows and a well-appointed interior enhance the driving experience.
Mercedes' potent 5.6L V8 engine powers this 560SL, working in tandem with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The engine compartment maintains an original appearance. Fuel injection, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes deliver confident performance. Major mechanical work includes a complete engine rebuild, replacement of the upper timing chain and guides, refreshed cylinder heads and valve guides, and full fuel system service with new fuel pumps, filters, and accumulator. Power steering gearbox was resealed, ignition components replaced, and cooling system serviced with a new coolant reservoir and sensor. The air conditioning has been system overhauled with new high-pressure hose and drier. Suspension has been updated with German-recommended shocks, and a new battery and Michelin Premier tires installed. This well-maintained classic Mercedes is ready for many more years of enjoyment.
