Congratulations to the winning bidder!
You’ve got yourself a stunning Benz — wishing you countless miles of joy and top-down adventures!

Huge thanks as well to all the other bidders and enthusiasts who showed interest and shared kind words. It truly means a lot. Grateful to have connected with such a passionate community!

@WhidbeyDan Absolutely! Mine as well 👋

@dengreene Thanks a ton! This color really does have that “look at me” vibe 😄 Appreciate the good vibes — and good luck if you’re bidding!

@VikingCat Thanks for your questions — happy to clarify:
	1.	The transmission shows light surface oiling underneath, but there is no active leak or dripping. It’s been stable and hasn’t required topping off.
	2.	Radio and power antenna are both currently working as intended.
	3.	No fluid leaks are present when the car is parked — no puddles or drips underneath.
	4.	As for the coolant, the level is within normal range and has remained stable. The engine runs at proper temperature with no signs of overheating, so a flush hasn’t been necessary during my ownership.

Let me know if I can provide anything else.

@I_B_Bass Good question — I haven’t changed the brake fluid since I’ve owned the car, and I don’t have documentation from the previous owner either. It’s possible the previous owner took care of it, but I can’t confirm that. That said, the car hasn’t indicated that a brake fluid change is due, and everything feels and performs as it should.

@VikingCat Thanks for the kind words — I really appreciate it!
Yes, the Carfax report is posted and open to view directly on the listing. You should be able to access it easily in the auction page.
As for the accidents, from what I understand, they both occurred over 15 years ago, during the ownership of the first owner. Unfortunately, I don’t have documentation about the repairs, but based on the Carfax and how the car presents today, it appears they were minor — possibly just cosmetic front and rear incidents.
There’s absolutely no sign of previous damage anywhere on the car. It drives beautifully and looks like a showroom piece — the condition really speaks for itself.
Happy to answer anything else you’re curious about!

@WhidbeyDan Good day! Thanks so much for the question. I don’t have a stand for the hardtop—what you see in the listing is exactly what comes with the car. That said, I’ve been using a ceiling-mounted pulley system to lift and store the hardtop, and it’s worked great for me. Just wanted to be fully transparent about that. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with—happy to answer any questions!

@I_B_Bass  Hi there and thank you for the kind words! 
The car is in excellent original condition and has been meticulously maintained. At the last service, everything checked out great—no issues were noted, and nothing was flagged as needing attention soon. It’s turn-key ready and fully prepped for the summer season. Just hop in and enjoy the sunshine and the drive!
Let me know if you have any other questions—I’m happy to help.

@Creston  Thank you so much — that truly means a lot! I totally agree with you — while there’s something special about a fully restored car, there’s a unique charm and authenticity in a well-preserved original. It tells a quiet story all its own. Really appreciate you taking the time to share that — glad to connect with a fellow enthusiast!

@EDP77 Thanks! 

Hi everyone, and welcome to the auction!
I’m genuinely excited to share my 1988 560SL with you all. This car has been a real joy to own — a beautiful blend of classic Mercedes craftsmanship and that unmistakable road presence these R107s are known for. Everywhere it goes, it turns heads and starts conversations.
I’ll be here and happy to chat throughout the auction, so please don’t hesitate to ask questions, request more info, or just share your thoughts. I want you to feel confident and comfortable if you’re considering a bid.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out — and good luck to everyone following along!
