1987 Mercedes - Benz 560 SL

Chassis No. WDBBA48D0HA062944

Introduced in 1971, the R107-generation SL succeeded the revered W113 ''Pagoda'' as Mercedes-Benz's flagship roadster. So robust was its construction, and so advanced its safety engineering, that company engineers nicknamed the prototype der Panzerwagen, or The Armored Car, well before its public debut. By 1986, Mercedes-Benz offered the range-topping 560 SL exclusively to North American, Australian, and Japanese buyers. Fitted with a 5.5-liter V8 producing 227 horsepower and paired exclusively with a four-speed automatic transmission, the 560 SL stood as the most powerful and final expression of the R107 line sold in North America.

Built in January 1987, this 560 SL was specified in Pearl Grey Metallic paint with a Grey leather interior. As offered in North America, the R107 boasted an extensive equipment list, including automatic climate control, heated and electrically adjustable exterior mirrors, illuminated vanity mirrors, a folding front armrest, an anti-theft alarm system, and a Becker Mexico Grand Prix radio, along with heat-insulating glass and a black soft top.

Its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report begins with a first registration in Montana in July 1987, and the car remained in the state for nearly four decades until its acquisition by the consignor in the summer of 2026. Today it is offered in superb condition with just 11,000 miles at the time of cataloging. Presented in a handsome color combination, it stands among the most desirable variant of the R107 line. Well suited for many more miles of top-down motoring.
