1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

Description

An icon in its own time, the Mercedes-Benz R107 roadster series finally wrapped up nearly two decades of production in 1989. The final-year 560SL represents the ultimate evolution of the '70s and '80s SL, as it came standard with several important upgrades, including a driver‑side airbag, anti‑lock braking system (ABS), limited‑slip differential, and automatic climate control. Its big fuel-injected 5.5L V8 came paired with a four-speed automatic transmission to deliver effortless cruising power.

Showing less than 99,000 miles, this last-year example is finished in Signal Red paired with a Beige leather interior and is equipped with both a color-matched removable hardtop and a folding black soft top. Features on this particular 560SL 15-inch alloy wheels from a later Mercedes-Benz, power windows, and a factory Becker Mexico AM/FM/cassette radio.

This 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is now offered with owner's manuals, a color-matched hardtop, a clean CARFAX vehicle history report and clean South Carolina title in the seller’s name.
