A start up and walk-around video has been provided by the seller below.
The R107 is an icon of the 80’s and one of the most recognizable classic cars from Mercedes-Benz. Being produced for 17 years, the V8 version of the R107 in the US started out with a 4.5-liter V8 and eventually graduated to the larger 5.5-liter version starting in 1986. While the R107 continues to solidify its legendary status among a lineage of SL's, R107's in above average mechanical condition are becoming tougher to find than ever. The M117-powered 560SL's are leading the way from a collectability and value standpoint. Finished in an attractive Smoke Silver Metallic and showing just 68k original miles, this clean example is sure to attract plenty of attention from collectors and enthusiasts looking for a taste of 80s Mercedes-Benz.

@meziks AC does work and blows cold. I have never pushed this vehicle to its max speed but I have gotten up to 120 mph with no problem and with more room to go. The engine in this car is very strong and pulls great. I own a 1986 560sel and 1987 560sec and I can say with confidence that this 560sl pulls harder then the others. I will try to get a video of highway driving.
Does AC is working? What is max speed could you drive on highway? Is it possible to get movie while driving the car on highway ? Thanks

@Happycampertk No rust under the chrome wheel arches. This car has always been garage kept.
@Gmr2428 Correct
This is a manual fold down correct?
Any rust bidding under Crome wheel well covers?

@Horsepwr4me The previous owner installed a folding cup holder on the drivers side door panel.
What’s the box shaped thing hanging on the drivers door card behind the inside door handle?
