1986 Mercedes 560sl R107 Removable Hardtop Convertible on 2040-cars
Rockwall, Texas, United States
|
The 560SL offered here is the finest you are likely to find anywhere. Always garaged and lovingly maintained, it is in the highly desirable Artic White exterior with blue leather interior. It has the original removable hardtop and the original like-new dark blue soft top with a clear window. The paint is all original and shines like a new car. The carpet is original and it and the floor mats are as new. The seat covers are brand new German leather with new horsehair pads so the interior looks, rides and smells almost like it did when it left the showroom. The engine, transmission and other systems all work perfectly. The clock keeps perfect time. A/C is cold. With a new exhaust system and low mileage Michelin tires it rides and sounds great. It has 81,XXX documented miles. Over its 28 year life that’s an average of less than 2900 miles per year. It has the original first aid kit and tool roll. There has never been a speck of rust on the car.
The car runs, accelerates and cruises like new. It's fun to drive and is fast and comfortable. It has a driver’s side air bag and is a safe classic car. It is a very rigid convertible of considerable heft.
It’s not perfect. No unrestored car of this era could be. If it somehow was it would be much more expensive. There are a few very minor paint chips on the trailing edges of the doors and very few touched up chips elsewhere which take a very close examination to find. Overall the paint looks amazing.
The German engineering on this car is superb. Mercedes had 19 years to perfect this series of cars but as with all machines there are points that fail over a long period of time. These areas have been addressed on this car. I have owned this car for 8 years and it was a very good one when I bought it. It's much better now. I have invested a lot to prevent problems and correct failures when they occur and you can benefit from that. I'm simply ready to buy another classic Mercedes and enjoy it.
The front calipers have been replaced. The cruise control is almost a guaranteed failure point on these cars after 20-25 years. This one has had a professional repair and works perfectly. The AC compressor, the blower motor and the starter have been replaced. All mechanical replacements (except exhaust) have been done with OEM parts. Hardtop to window rubber was replaced and finally the leather seats have been replaced with beautiful supple leather that is exactly like the original. This beautiful classic will serve you faithfully for many more decades. I think you’ll find it to be a very, very good driver or candidate for an easy restoration to perfect condition.
Includes a car cover, hoist, cart and cover for the hardtop, a value of over $600. These allow one person removal of the hard top as well as safe, convenient and dust free storage. |

Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
Mercedes teams with Pebble for smartwatch tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013Most automakers have realized by now that a good infotainment system is a must-have feature for many buyers, and have, as a result, invested increasing amounts of time and money developing these technologies. But some automakers are going above and beyond in-car entertainment and navigation technology by focusing on wearable technology as well.
Nissan has emerged as one such company, developing its own alternative to Google Glass and performance-oriented smartwatch. But Mercedes-Benz is also putting itself at the forefront of wearable tech - not by developing competing products to those designed by dedicated tech companies, but by working with them. The German automaker, as we recently reported, is developing its own app for Google Glass, and is now doing the same with smartwatches as well.
Set to be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Mercedes has collaborated with Pebble Technologies to develop the Digital DriveStyle app. The system will display tell its wearer where the car is, whether the doors are locked and if it needs fuel. Inside the car it'll alert the driver to potential hazards coming up on the road, while making functions like re-routing the nav system, controlling the audio system or activating Siri that much easier.
2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA order guide leaked
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The dealer order guide for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA has made its way online courtesy of the crew at CLAForums.com, and not only does it shed light on the ways buyers will be able to configure the entry-level sedan, it talks specific option pricing. Shoppers will be able to select between the CLA250 and CLA250 4Matic, and the option sheet should offer a number of packages to suit buyer tastes, including a sport package with tweaked fascias and unique wheels. Bi-xenon headlamps and 18-inch alloys may also be had as well as a panoramic sunroof and a collision avoidance system. The CLA will be available with a number of active safety systems on board, including lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, park assist and blind spot assist, to name a few.
The new sedan comes in 10 colors, including a very dashing purple Mecedes-Benz calls Northern Lights Violet, and there are a total of four interior trim finishes. The automaker hasn't released final pricing of all models just as of yet - we do know from Mercedes' Kate Upton Super Bowl ad that the car will start at $29,900 - but you can check out individual option and package pricing in the gallery. You can also find more information over at CLAForums.com.
