This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL was first registered in California and spent time in New Mexico before being acquired by the seller in June 2021. The car is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Signal Red over beige leather. Additional equipment includes a black soft top, a power antenna, burl wood trim, automatic climate control, fog lights, a factory cassette stereo, cruise control, and 15″ chrome-clad Gullideckel wheels.
The body is finished in Signal Red (568) and features a black soft top that was replaced in 2019 along with fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim.
Chrome-finished 15″ Gullideckel wheels are wrapped in a mixed set of Pirelli P4000 and Continential SuperContact tires measuring 205/65 all around. Braking is performed by four-wheel discs.
The seats are upholstered in beige leather with matching door panels and carpets along with burl wood trim on the center console and dashboard. Amenities include automatic climate control, an ambient temperature gauge in the center stack, cruise control, a factory cassette stereo, and power accessories.
A leather-wrapped airbag steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation consisting of a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 84k miles.
The 5.5-liter M117 V8 features Bosch fuel injection and was factory rated at 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque. Service under current ownership reportedly included replacing the primary and secondary fuel pumps, the fuel pressure regulator, and the battery along with an oil change and an air conditioning recharge.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.
