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. |

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA priced from $31,300*
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Mercedes-Benz has kindly let loose the price of the 2015 GLA-Class, telling Autoblog.com that the base 208-horsepower GLA250 in two-wheel drive will go for $31,300 *not including a destination charge of $925. That makes for $32,225 in total to get one off the lot, a price predicted as early as last year and in our recent First Drive. The other two available models can push power to all four wheels, and after the destination fee is applied the GLA240 4Matic (pictured) will be $34,225 while the 355-horsepower GLA45 AMG will change lives and wallets to the tune of $49,225.
On the base scale, that puts the GLA250 just a few hundred dollar bills above the more powerful, rear-wheel drive BMW X1 and a stack of hundreds below the less powerful, front-wheel drive Audi Q3. If you're keeping in-house score, the GLA250 comes in at $1,400 above its sedan platform-mate with the same engine, the CLA250. At the high end, however, the competition doesn't have anything that can touch the AMG trim. Not that it should matter all that much - Mercedes needed something to keep these buyers in the family, and now they have it. If any of them should need even more power and more money spent, then there's always that 394-hp Brabus flavor. We'll have more info and details on each trim when Mercedes unleashes the shebang in the not-too-distant future.
Next Mercedes-Benz GLK to get AMG variant? Not likely...
Fri, 15 Mar 2013If you think Mercedes-Benz will slap an AMG badge on anything with wheels, think again. Word has it the German manufacturer will not offer buyers a performance version of the GLK, with Tobias Moers, director of AMG vehicle development, saying that he doesn't see a market for the car. That's not to say the picture won't change in the near future, however. According to CarAdvice.com, AMG is keeping a close eye on the arrival of the Porsche Macan.
"Maybe there will be a change in the market when the Porsche [Macan] comes up," Moers said, "but right now, no."
The real hitch in the giddy-up seems to be cost. Moers says developing the machine into something worthy of an AMG would represent "a huge investment." We can't exactly argue with that. Fortunately, AMG buyers have plenty of Mercedes-Benz models to choose from.
How could a lifted Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG be more awesome? Add an axle
Fri, 01 Mar 2013We are fully confident in saying that this will be the most amazing thing you see all day. First of all, it's a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen - in AMG spec, no less. And it's being shown off in high-definition video glory, blasting through the desert, jumping over sand dunes, and generally being awesome. But here's the kicker: It has six wheels. Three axles. And they're all driven. Holy $%!#.
Under the hood is AMG's usual 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8, and total output is rated at 536 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. That's impressive and all, but do keep in mind that the G63 6x6 weighs in at 8,322 pounds or, you know, the weight of two E-Class sedans. Combine that with its 18 inches of ground clearance, 37-inch tires and five locking differentials and you've got a vehicle capable of, well, everything you've ever imagined or will ever imagine for the rest of your life.
But the goodness doesn't stop once you open the doors. Oh, no. This thing is fit for a king - or a sheik, more appropriately - with ultimately luxurious seating for four. The rear bench seat has been removed in favor of two bucket seats with a fixed console in the middle, and the rear seats have been moved back beyond the usual B pillar to allow for more legroom.
