Stunning Arctic White 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for Sale
For sale is a striking 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, a true California classic purchased new in September 1987 from Stead Motors in Walnut Creek. Finished in Arctic White with a warm Palomino interior and a dark brown convertible top. It comes with books, manuals, the original data card, and the factory removable hardtop.
Under the hood, the robust 5.6L V8 starts effortlessly, runs strong and smooth, and delivers the refined power Mercedes is known for. The automatic transmission shifts with precision, and the handling is tight, thanks to new upper control arms installed recently. This 560SL is a pleasure to drive, offering the perfect blend of performance and comfort for leisurely cruises or spirited drives.
The factory Arctic White exterior shines beautifully, with a glossy finish that’s held up remarkably well. The chrome factory rims, wrapped in Michelin 205/65 R15 tires have over 75% tread remaining.
The trim and glass are in good condition, and the original dark brown convertible top operates smoothly, complementing the car’s classic look. The included factory hardtop makes this 560SL versatile for year-round enjoyment.
Inside, the Palomino interior is tidy and comfortable, showing expected wear for its age and mileage but retaining its inviting charm. A newly installed air conditioning compressor blows cool, keeping you comfortable on warm days.
All gauges and lights are in good working order, though the power door lock system is currently inoperative. Overall, the cockpit is a lovely place to spend time, offering the luxurious feel that defines the 560SL experience.
This California car comes with a clean Carfax report, though it notes a potential odometer rollback, a common issue with R107 models. Based on the car’s average mileage and a three-year period of inoperability, we estimate it has approximately 120,000 actual miles. With the 5.6L V8 known for lasting 300,000-500,000 miles, this 560SL has plenty of life left. Sourced from an estate, documentation is limited, but the car’s condition suggests responsible ownership.
This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is ready to cruise in style, offering a perfect mix of classic design and modern comfort. Be sure to check out all 340+ photos and the video below.
