BODY OVERVIEW:
The unmistakable, elegant silhouette of the R107 560SL shines in its classic black paint. This car exemplifies the timeless design and style Mercedes-Benz is known for, with body panels that are straight and true. While some paint chips and dings are visible—expected for a car of this vintage—they don’t detract from its overall presence or charm.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The black paint has a deep, glossy shine that highlights the car’s timeless design. While there are minor chips consistent with its age, this 560SL has clearly been well cared for over its 35 years of life. It’s a car you’ll be proud to show off, whether cruising through town or parked at a local car show. Combined with chrome wheels, this 560 is a stunner!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The gray leather interior is in great shape, showcasing the craftsmanship Mercedes put into these cars. The seats, dash, and door panels exhibit minimal age and wear, presenting blemishes consistent only with normal aging. The wood trim adds a touch of warmth and elegance to the cabin, something Mercedes has used to make their marque for decades. The modern Kenwood stereo brings a touch of the 21st century into the cabin, but the original unit is included. Overall, the interior presents nicely and it’s clear this car has been cherished and enjoyed over the years.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
The legendary 5.6L V8 engine purrs like a Mercedes should, delivering smooth, effortless performance. The car runs and drives as expected from a classic luxury vehicle. The suspension feels tight, the brakes are solid, and the transmission shifts smoothly, and everything is working as it should, making this a true turn-key driving experience.
