A no-brainer when choosing a classic Mercedes-Benz, the R107-era SL is truly renowned for a multitude of reasons. From its timeless neo-classical Mercedes-Benz styling to its smooth V8 engines and of course, its star power, the R107 was made between 1971 and 1989. Over 300,000 were produced, of which in excess of 200,000 came to North America. Today, finding a later model example, such as this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a very smart thing to do. This car has a light 53,259 miles on the clock, a 5.6-liter V8 under the hood, an aftermarket convertible soft top and a reupholstered interior as well. That makes this a great starter classic for someone who wishes to see what older cars were like before fully jumping into the classic and vintage car ocean.
Exterior and Interior
This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL wears a white suit and rocks an aftermarket black convertible top for use when the weather is too warm, wet or windy. But that’s not its only method of protection. You see, a detachable hardtop is one of the R107’s party pieces, a feature that some later variants of the SL offered too. This car comes with its removable hard top included in the sale, replete with the special storage stand that you place it upon when detached. Now isn’t that nice? You’re getting two cars in one! The gray leather interior of this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is reportedly a reupholstery job but it looks very well done. This car comes with the two seat configuration that most North American cars offered; their European counterparts replaced the padded rear luggage area with two small seats. That space in this car is partially occupied by two speaker boxes for the aftermarket Alpine radio with CD player that sits in the dashboard, above the climate controls.
Engine
This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL has a reported 227 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque, as per factory figures. These come from a 5.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 with Bosch KE-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection. A 4-speed automatic transmission is used to drive the rear wheels.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
Few grand tourers wear their age as gracefully as the 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, and this example captures the R107 formula in one of its most desirable late-production forms. Showing approximately 39,199 miles, it pairs a Signal Red exterior with a Palomino leather interior and Dark Brown convertible soft top, giving it the quintessential color combination many enthusiasts associate with the era. As the flagship U.S.-market R107, the 560 SL blended V8 power, understated luxury, and timeless styling into a roadster that remains one of Mercedes-Benz’s most recognizable classics.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed chapter of the long-running R107 roadster, pairing classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and a luxury-focused driving experience. Showing 111,950 miles, this example is finished in Arctic White over Alpaca Gray leather with a black convertible soft top. Its specification includes automatic climate control, a folding front armrest, heat-insulating green glass, a heated rear window, and a Sony audio head unit. With its upright grille, long hood, compact two-seat cabin, and unmistakable R107 profile, the 560 SL remains one of the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz roadsters of its era.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.

This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.
This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s second-generation F-body and gives it a much more aggressive enthusiast-focused personality. Showing approximately 752 miles, this example combines a 383ci stroker V8 with a 750 CFM Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission, giving it the kind of old-school muscle-car formula that puts driver involvement front and center. Finished in Black with custom Purple & Red flame graphics, this Camaro also features a Hurst shifter, Grant GT steering wheel, aftermarket gauges, and a number of exterior and audio upgrades that give it a distinctly custom-built character.
The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is the kind of Mopar that gets enthusiasts interested before the hood is even opened. Its clean B-body lines, pillarless hardtop profile, Soft Yellow paint, black vinyl roof, and Magnum 500-style wheels give it the restrained factory muscle look of the mid-1960s, but this example carries much more serious hardware underneath. Showing approximately 91,610 miles, it is powered by a 440ci big-block V8 backed by a TorqueFlite 727 automatic, giving it the kind of drivetrain combination that feels right at home in a classic Plymouth. Add power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, and a dual exhaust system, and this Belvedere blends old-school Mopar attitude with enough comfort to make it more than just a weekend bruiser.
