BaT Auction: 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is finished in Signal Red over a black leather interior and is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 paired with an automatic transmission. It was purchased new in Florida and reportedly remained in the state until it was brought to New Jersey in 2010. The car was acquired recently by the seller and received an oil and transmission service, a new air filter, and a coolant flush within the last two months. Now showing just under 92k miles, this R107 is sold with a matching hard top, a receipt from the recent service, a clean Carfax report, and a clear New Jersey title.

A repaint in the original shade of Signal Red (568) was reportedly performed a few years ago due to clear coat failure, though no receipts are available from the work. Gullideckel alloy wheels are wrapped in matching 15” Michelin tires that are said to have plenty of remaining tread.

When new, the M117 V8 produced 227 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque for the North American market. It features Bosch electronic fuel injection and sends power to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission and standard limited-slip differential. A coolant flush, transmission service, and oil change were performed two months ago.
