This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is finished in Cabernet Red Metallic (587) over Beige Leather (275) and power is provided by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The car sat since 1996 until being acquired by the selling dealer earlier this year. Since then, the car has underwent servicing to get the car back on the road including a new gas tank, fuel pumps, accumulator, filters, battery, fluids, and new tires. Features include a folding black soft top, a removable hardtop, fog lights, electric windows, central locking, and automatic climate control. Now showing 80k miles, this R107 is now offered by the selling dealer at No Reserve with the orginal tool kit, hardtop stand, 1 key, recent service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New York title.
The car is finished in Cabernet Red Metallic (587) and includes a paint-matched removable hardtop along with a folding black soft top. Additional exterior features include fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accents along the bumpers, windows, and belt line of the car. The body is free from any rust and the left rear quarter panel has been previously resprayed to fix a scratch. The seller notes the soft top shows wear but is fully functional, and the antenna is inoperable.
Factory painted 15″ gullideckel wheels are mounted with new 205/65 Michelin Radial tires. The car was factory-equipped with power steering, fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. The brake fluid was recently changed in preparation for the sale and the seller notes the brakes have minor pulsation.
The interior is upholstered in Beige Leather (275) and shows matching carpets, door cards, and center console. Interior appointments include electric windows, central locking, and automatic climate control. Original burl wood trim accents the center console and dash. The Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/cassette stereo is noted to be inoperable, and the seller notes the turn signals are tempermental.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation consisting of a 170-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel economy, and fuel level. The fuel gauge is noted to be inoperable. The six-digit odometer shows 80k original miles.
The 5.5-liter V8 was factory rated at 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. After sitting inside of a garage since 1996, the selling dealer serviced the car to get it back on the road. The seller notes the car does have a hard start but once warm is completely normal. The car is noted to have an excellent idle and does not smoke. The kick down does work and the engine is reported to be strong with smooth shifts. Recent service in the last 3 months in preparation for the sale includes the following:

@GoBoGo That's normal for 88-89 cars. Prior to those you would have gotten the bigger one that was set further back. It IS a pretty car.Photos of the underside have been added.Odd location for the 3rd brake light on the trunk? Pretty car; someone may get a steal here...Can you put pics of the undercarriage? Please.there is scaling rust, it sat in a damp garage for a long time. just get it cryogenically cleaned.Maybe a better question is, any rust on the undercarriage. Seeing some evidence in the engine bay on components (cruise control, etc). Thank You.undercarriage pics coming$5,250 bid placed by @Nandito
@neil any update on the underbody pictures?we will post undercarriage picsCan you please share pictures of the underside , would like to see condition of the chassis. Thank You.Good Morning Folks. We purchased the car in Endwell NY after the original owner had passed away. He stored it in a garage since 1996 and never drove it. We installed a new gas tank, 2 new fuel pumps, accumulator, hoses filter, air filer oil filter, new tires, cleaned the fuses, cleaned various connectors for corrosion, changed brake fluid, change spark plugs, painted the left rear quarter panel. We got the car running, started hard (still does) once warm it is good, it has smooth idle, does not smoke, brakes have slight pulsation (will need attention), charged a/c (blows cold), heater works, radio does work or antenna. Flashers are temperamental. they are various paint chips that have been touched but it is mostly original paint.$5,000 bid placed by @Bankrep40

Hello, the car was sitting in a garage in Endwell, NY. He passed a way 1 year ago and his brother was the executor of the estate. The car was super dirty and so we bought the car from not knowing what we bought. It did not run. It runs now. I will see if I have an pics to post.Nice car. Why was it sitting so long and where in the country was it? Any pictures before the work? Thanks.$500 bid placed by @Mkte
