The 560SL stood as the top-tier offering in the R107 SL-Series lineup, Mercedes-Benz’s third-generation grand touring roadster produced from 1971 through 1989. At the heart of the 560SL is a 5.6-liter V8, making it the most powerful variant in the R107 range. This 1986 example was ordered in Black over Palomino upholstery and comes equipped with a black soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, heated front seats, 15” Gullideckel alloy wheels, and more. Showing just over 143k miles on the odometer, this garage-kept R107 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Michigan.

This example was factory-specified in Black (040U) with a matching convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Exterior details include North American-spec quad headlamps, front fog lights, and chrome-trimmed bumpers with overriders, along with chrome window moldings and mirror caps. It rides on 15” Gullideckel alloy wheels, wrapped in Dunlop Sport Signature tires, which show 2010 date codes. The seller describes the exterior as being in good condition, with paint that presents well and a rust-free body, noting only a small area of paint checking on the left front fender. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.

The cabin is upholstered in Palomino leather (274) and has been refreshed with a newly installed interior, including replacement seat covers, carpeting, and a dash cover, at a cost of approximately $3k. Interior features include a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel, center armrest, power windows, and an aftermarket radio. The seller notes that the gauges are operational, though the functionality of the power antenna, radio, heating, and air conditioning systems has not been verified. Illuminated warning lights include the SRS light and a suspected low coolant alert, although the coolant level is confirmed to be correct, and may indicate a faulty level sensor.

Power comes from a 5.6-liter M117 V8 engine, which delivers a factory-rated 227 HP and 279 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission. It is equipped with power steering, a fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes as standard.

This sale will include a clean title.

 

The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for looking at my auction. This is a good, solid car that just needs some TLC to go through the car and find out what needs to be repaired. It runs and drives and seems to need minimal things done to be a great driver’s car. Paint and body are pretty nice. Interior is new. Tires ride nice but are old, so it’s up to the person if they want to change them. It’s a rust-free, solid car. Everything in the photos is what you will get. It needs a new home for someone to play around with it and make it perfect. It is being sold as is, no warranty!”

    Hello. I have a black on black 1989 Sl with 90k miles that I'm considering selling. If the final price of your '86sl is any indication of the market, i believe the market is softening . I've seen similar Sl's sell for double and often triple the final price of this SL .
