@SeikoPsychothank you for that! This car's been like a family member over the years and I like to think it's received the attention it deserves. As we near the final hours of the auction, let me know if any lingering questions are floating around. Thanks to all!
@blueskyAeroGlad to have this conversation about the rarity of the nautical blue metallic (929) over gray color combination in this 1987 560sl. There are no color based production numbers that I could find. I have recently heard and seen comments, though, regarding the rarity of the nautical blue metallic color in the 1987 560sl that resulted in significant sales price premiums. I am in no position to try to quantify those premiums; maybe you have more expertise than me and will be more successful than I was!
