1986 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Gold Description

In 1986, Mercedes-Benz shipped its most powerful SL of the decade to the U.S. in the 560SL. The car was also the heaviest of the 1971-89 R107 SLs that Mercedes produced, but the new 5.5-liter V-8 engine's 227 hp did a fine job of mitigating that fact. Top speed was much improved (from 110 mph in the 380SL to 130 mph), and the car was quicker from a standstill to 60 mph by about 4 full seconds. The engine was much torquier, too, which greatly improved the cars' dynamics. Likewise, the car received a new rear suspension and a limited-slip differential to better handle the added torque and power. Mercedes-Benz also added anti-lock brakes, leather upholstery, an alarm system, and an air bag, all of which better suited the car's $48,000 price tag. Current Hagerty value $21,000. Beautiful classic 1986 Red Mercedes Benz 560SL Convertible with 5-speed, V-8 engine. Low original miles - 76,898. Garaged. Great condition, no rust or dings. Has both hard and sof tops and car cover. Have CARFAX report. Hate to sell my 49er special but health forces the issue. Best of all, you may pick it up in the beautiful Red Rocks of Sedona.
