This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL shows first documented registration in New Jersey in 1990 with subsequent registrations in Pennsylvania, Florida, and most recently in Virginia since 2001.

Features include a removable paint-matched original hardtop, original Becker head unit, air conditioning with automatic climate control, a black soft top, and an installed Kinder Seat in the rear. Documented services are shown on the included Carfax report from various Mercedes-Benz repair facilities. This example is now offered by the selling dealer in Virginia with 144k miles on the odometer, factory literature, an original tool kit, first aid kit, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Virginia title. 

The body is finished in Signal Red (568) and features original body panels. Exterior features include a folding black soft top, chrome mirror caps, North American-spec headlamps and bumpers, and front fog lamps. The original paint-matched hardtop is included and features original glass with rear defrost.

This 560SL wears original silver-painted 15x7” Gullideckel wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Turanza tires measuring 205/65 on all four corners and wearing 2014 date codes. Light chipping is noted on the wheels but no major curb rash, bends or damage is otherwise visible.

The cabin is upholstered in Anthracite Leather (271) across the seats, door cards, armrest, head rests, and shift knob. The dashboard is capped in a matching black unit and the Burl wood trim shows cracks and fading at the center console. The cabin also shows original black carpets along with matching floor mats.
