My wife's Birthday present is for sale as she has not been driving the car.
This is a very nice ex-Florida 560 SL. I bought this car from a friend that owned it since 2/28/00 and drove it less than 8000 miles in 13 years! It was garage kept all those years.
The car was shipped to CT late 2012 and put in storage until early spring 2013 when I commissioned a full suspension rebuild. All suspension rubbers and shocks were replaced. Steering linkages are all new and all front end bushings were replaced. Most of the rear bushings are also new, including the differential mount. Drive shaft coupler, engine mounts (new), transmissions mounts are all good. Most of the rubber parts and shocks were aged even though the car was not driven. Essentially any SL of this vintage will require these repairs regardless of the mileage if they were never performed. This runs close to $2K in repairs. With all these new parts the car drives absolutely marvelous. It drives like a MB SL ought to drive...rattle free, straight, and tight. Probably as close to new as it you can get.
I also had a new convertible top (Top Grade German Haarz Cloth) installed. I choose a dark blue top (originally black) as it contrasts the white/ grey combo nicely. Replacement cost was $1,200.00. The hardtop in white is very nice and comes with a dolly.
Transmission was flushed and Mobil 1 ATF was used to fill it up. It shifts very smooth with no signs of clunkiness or sluggishness.
There is NO RUST on the car as it came from Florida. I showed a notorious rust spot at the jack point to illustrate zero rust.
The exterior is very nice. Paint is virtually scratch and dent (don't see any) free. Interior is also very nice but shows some "patina". No rips or cracks in the upholstery. The leather is still pliable. Wood on the dashboard and console is nice.
Only the a/c is left to be serviced. I did not bother with this as it was to be our summer only car and my wife has not been using it.
Clock works, all electricals work, radio is ALPINE AM/FM/CD player with removable face plate. Antenna is electric. Factory tools are present. Battery is new.
Only lights that are "on" are the washer fluid light and the ABS light will kick on at over 9 mph. I have to clean/ replace the sending unit in the washer bottle, and a simple cleaning of the ABS tone wheels behind the brake rotors should take care of the ABS light. This is a common service item but the ABS works fine and it does not stay on all the time (you can Google this on the web and confirm the service required to fix this problem. I will fix these two (2) issues in the next few days.
As with any SL or MB of the 80s for that matter, the mirror covers in the visor break at the hinges. I have the visors and decent mirrors (with weak hinges for the flip open cover) but I removed the visors altogether because they are very low and obstruct my view.
The engine runs smooth with no unusual sounds.
Unfortunately my wife's b'day surprise has to go.
The car is in CT where is can be inspected or driven. Any questions, feel free to call me at 203-415-6151 (no dealers please).
Happy Bidding.
Clear CT Title in hand. Private sale. Cash, MO, or certified check for payment. Paypal deposit of $300.00 required within 24 hrs.
Feel free to ask relevant questions.

Mercedes teases a new Maybach concept convertible
Wed, Aug 9 2017Once again, Mercedes is taking a Vision concept to the Pebble Beach Concours this year. To start generating excitement, the company has released a teaser trailer for the car, and effectively no other information. But we think we've pieced together what the car is. Let's look at the video first. It shows a voluptuous blue body. It's all curves and clean lines inside and out. It also has an impressively prodigious prow with a proud three-pointed star at the front. The interior is all white with very little detail, and in addition to chrome, there are many copper trim pieces. There appear to be only two seats, too. Toward the end, we see a strip of copper trim on the outside as well, and just before the shot changes, we can see a bit of white interior that indicates this is a convertible. So we know this is an elegant, luxurious roadster. Is there anything else we can discern? Well, it seems Mercedes may have accidentally revealed the name of the car, or at least what it's based on. The video's file name includes the words "Maybach six." That happens to be the name of last year's Mercedes-Maybach coupe concept. On top of that, there's a striking resemblance between the long, flowing hoods of both cars. So it seems like a pretty safe bet that Mercedes will show the convertible version of that car, which was 18 feet long, and produced 738 horsepower from a quartet of electric motors. We'll find out if we're right when the car is revealed at Pebble Beach.

Mercedes-Benz GLA Concept gets mobbed in China
Sat, 20 Apr 2013If the reception it received at the Shanghai Motor Show is any judge of marketplace acceptance, Mercedes-Benz has a hit on its hands in the form of the GLA Concept. And we can understand why - we're quickly becoming fans of Mercedes' recent styling language, as defined by new models like the CLA and this GLA Concept.
The big news on the exterior front are the headlamp clusters, which have frickin' laser beams attached to their foreheads embedded inside that are capable of projecting videos and images on a screen. Plus, a pair of video cameras are mounted on the roof that can be used to capture driving excitement or removed and taken with you. How cool is that? We just hope they have a substantial locking mechanism to prevent would-be thievery...
If the exterior is mostly ready for production, with a few of the more outlandish elements moved to the trash bin - like, for instance, laser-beam headlamps and removable action cams - the interior is a true custom job that screams concept loud and clear. There are all kinds of jewel-like finishes inside, along with transparent surfaces showing what looks like metal latticework underneath and some awfully thick looking leather with massive exterior stitching done by hand similar to what you'd find on a baseball glove.
