Mercedes-Benz launched their flagship 560 SL at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1985.In 1986, Mercedes shipped its most powerful SL of the decade, and of the chassis type, to the United States. At 3781 pounds, the 560SL was also the heaviest of the SLs, but its new 5.6-liter V-8 engine. The car also received a new rear suspension, a limited-slip differential to better handle the extra power, anti-lock brakes, leather upholstery, an alarm system, and an airbag, all of which added up to a price tag of $48,000.The 560SL has maintained its reputation as a powerful, reliable, well-appointed, classically-styled luxury automobile. Our example is a silver-grey metallic paint with blue interior, also the beautiful euro bumper conversion and hardtop with stand. The iconic Mercedes ""ribbed"" tail lights are ribbed on purpose. These are designed as ""self cleaning"" tail lights. The grooves act as channels for passing air to ""clean"" and blow out dust, dirt, and debris.
