This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is finished in Arctic White over beige leather and is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a body-colored removable hardtop, a black soft top, fog lights, automatic climate control, and cruise control, while modifications include an AMG body kit, an AMG steering wheel, 15″ Penta wheels, and an aftermarket exhaust system. The car was first sold by Holmes European Motors of Shreveport, Louisiana and acquired by the current owner in 2012. Work within the last year included refinishing the bumpers, reupholstering the seats, fluid services, an overhaul of the power steering and suspension systems, and replacement of the tires, valve cover gaskets, timing chain rails, and more as described below.
The bodywork is finished in Arctic White (147U) and paired with a recently replaced black convertible top as well as a body-color removable hardtop. An AMG body kit was added during prior ownership and features side skirts, a lower rear valance, and front and rear spoilers. Additional exterior details include fog lights and a power antenna. The Carfax report lists damage occurring in March 2021, with no further information provided. The seller recently had the front and rear bumper trim refinished, and the weather seals for both tops as well as the windshield wiper arms and side moldings were replaced.
Silver-painted 15″ AMG-style Penta alloy wheels with machined lips were fitted in 2020, and the seller states that the 205/65 Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 tires were recently installed. A factory alloy wheel and spare tire are stored in the trunk. An alignment was performed in May 2021.
The cabin features seats reupholstered in beige leather, while burl wood trim accents the center console and two-tone dashboard. Equipment includes automatic climate control, cruise control, a lockable glovebox, power windows, a Becker Grand Prix cassette radio, and Mercedes-Benz–branded floor mats. A burl wood shift knob was added by the seller.
The Italvolanti Corsa steering wheel features an AMG-logo center cover wrapped in leather, and it frames instrumentation featuring an AMG-logo 190-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, an analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, fuel economy, and oil pressure. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 78k miles, approximately 11k of which were added by the seller. A odometer reading of 78,001 miles is listed on the Carfax report, which the seller states was entered erroneously and has since been corrected.
The 5.5-liter M117 V8 features Bosch fuel injection and was factory rated at 227 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Work in 2021 included fluid services and replacement of the following components:
- Valve cover gaskets
- Timing chain rails
- Steering damper
- Power steering pump, gears, and hoses
- Steering damper
- Transmission and engine mounts
- Rear flex disc
- Differential seals
- Front subframe mounts and suspension bushings
- Transmission oil cooler line
- Exhaust system
The window sticker shows initial delivery to Holmes European Motors of Shreveport, Louisiana, as well as factory colors, equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $60,880.
Manufacturer’s literature, including an owner’s manual and maintenance booklet, is included in the sale along with recent service records, AMG-logo floor mats, a tool roll, and a hardtop stand.
