Own a German Muscle Car - Edmonds.com: Automotive icons don't come more substantial than the Mercedes-Benz series of SL luxury roadsters. But the first SL wasn't a roadster and despite that it's still considered the greatest example of the breed. The SL story is really about the evolution of two ideas: The first produced a legendary coupe for both the street and track. The second has sired generations of elegant capable and lavishly engineered open two-seaters. In 1986 Mercedes shoehorned a 5.6-liter all-aluminum V8 pumping out 238 horsepower and a healthy 287 pound-feet of peak torque which is routed through a silken four-speed automatic transmission making the 560SL the fastest R107.
The SL is in great condition with the following features or conditions: The body and paint are flawless with new body side molding and a new convertible top. As mentioned in the "boot camp" for SL article the fender well screws are of body color and not touched. All of the gauges and lights work with one exception (the clock). The glass is original factory glass with factory placed stickers. The heater box is present and works. The spare tire and tools are present and like new.
