66k-Mile 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

Description

The R107-generation Mercedes-Benz SL-Class represents one of the most iconic and enduring luxury roadsters of the 20th century. Introduced in 1971 and refined over nearly two decades, the 560SL arrived in 1986 as the final and most powerful iteration for the North American market. Powered by a robust 5.5-liter M117 V8 engine producing 227 horsepower and 275 lb-ft. of torque, the 560SL combines classic styling, solid build quality, and smooth performance—making it a favorite among enthusiasts.

Showing just 66,700 miles, this example is finished in Signal Red (568O) over Grey (278) leather and is equipped with both a removable hardtop and a folding soft top. The seller reports that a new black cloth soft top was installed a few years ago, and the car has been consistently maintained, including recent servicing in preparation for sale.

This low-mile 560SL is now offered with a clean CARFAX history report, service records, its original window sticker, owner's manuals, and a clean Mississippi title in the seller’s name.
