Amazing Original Example. 1987 Mercedes-benz 560sl Base Convertible 2-door 5.6l on 2040-cars

1987 Mercedes 560SL for sale

Amazing and gorgeous example of an extremely original 560sl. Original Ivory paint over Palomino interior, factory soft top with crystal clear windows and hard top too. 

So you know I'm legit and not some spam posting, you can look me up on the web and see my picture and footage of me as well. Go to the well known site IMDB (International Movie Data Base) and put in Dean England. That is who you will be speaking to on the phone and you or your transport company will be meeting to get the Mercedes. If you have little or no ebay feedback, please contact me before the end of the auction to confirm your identity as well. 

Purchased new and gently enjoyed between San Diego (Escondido) and Palm Springs (Indian Wells) for many years. Then she has lived amongst collectors in Palm Springs and Los Angeles. Her last visit to the dealership was at Mercedes of Encino at 76.022 miles in November of 2011. 

Clean car fax and receipts document the mileage that is about 78,000 now. 

You will see on the car fax she has passed every California smog check, most recently on 4/15/2014. 

Factory books stamped by the dealer to the mileage of about 51k. 

Extremely high gloss on the original ivory paint is fantastic. 

Pampered to the fullest from new, including the factory rims chromed (including the spare), hand painted pinstripes and upgraded wood shifter and steering wheel as well as back seats with seat belts, all as they'd do for a substantial extra expense back in the day. 

Interior is fantastic. There are no dash cracks, tears or damage inside. Ashtray never used. 

Also at great expense, an upgraded in dash Mercedes CD stereo was purchased at and installed by the Mercedes dealer so it is the correct brand for the car and not some odd looking after market unit. It fits right into the original opening. The speakers in the dash were upgraded as well. Though again, nothing has been cut and no other areas in the Mercedes are cut for speakers as too often is the case in these cars. Dealer receipt included. 

The Mercedes dealership also upgraded/retrofitted the Air Conditioning system to run on the R134 refrigerant and it blows nice and cold. 

The soft top is the original, yes original, with all the Mercedes emblems embossed in the crystal clear plastic windows. You can tell the car has seen very little sun or bad weather as the interior wood is not cracking, the soft top is not torn or faded and neither are the windows to it and the body to the car is spectacular. Even the outside rubber in the chrome side moldings are not sun faded or worn. The rubber is just as smooth on the top facing the sun as it is on the bottom. 

She just got a brand new battery. The metal battery box clamps that are too often broken off are all good. This happens because sometimes people cram in a cheaper battery that doesn't fit right and then try to clamp it down anyway. Not the case here. 

She starts right up, shifts smoothly. I can email video of her running. I just don't know how to post that on Ebay. 

When the headlights are turned on, that one small dash light is on that suggests a bulb is burned out. Yet, all blinkers, back up lights, parking lights etc are working. Sometimes this light can come on if an incorrect bulb (even if it works) was put in. I haven't looked into this to see if that's the case. Also, there is the typical small bit of play in the steering wheel when in the 12 o'clock position. 

This is the 560sl to put into your care if you are looking for original quality that is only going up in value because of its extreme originality along with dealer maintenance over the years and low mileage.  

Even the the lighted sun visors work and are not cracked or brittle or faded. 

I have the right to end this auction early in case I reach a deal with someone before the end of auction. If you'd like, feel free to email me your best offer. If it works for both of us I will let you know. I will then add a "Buy it Now" to the auction and you can purchase the 560sl with the buy it now feature. 

Otherwise, I'll see where it goes. 

Feel free to email me with any questions. 

Thanks for looking.
