1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL — Smoke Silver Metallic, Dual Tops, Clean Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL sits at the top of the R107 SL lineup — the most powerful, most capable version of a roadster that Mercedes built continuously for 18 years, from 1971 through 1989. That run makes the R107 one of the longest-produced sports cars in automotive history, and the 560SL represents its final evolution. Mercedes introduced the 560SL for the 1986 model year specifically for the North American market, pairing the enlarged M117 5.6-liter V8 with a strengthened drivetrain to meet the performance expectations of American buyers who found the outgoing 380SL underpowered. The result was a car that could run 0 to 60 mph in around seven seconds — respectable for a 3,500-pound luxury roadster in the mid-1980s. What made the 560SL particularly significant in its final years was how much technology Mercedes packed into a body design that dated back to 1971. By 1986, the 560SL came standard with four-wheel disc brakes, a driver airbag (SRS), and anti-lock brakes — safety features that were genuinely rare on American roads at the time. The ABS system alone put this car ahead of most domestic competition. The 560SL was also one of only a handful of cars sold in the United States in 1986 with a driver-side airbag as standard equipment. That combination of open-air grand touring character and genuine safety hardware helps explain why well-kept 560SLs continue to hold their value decades after production ended. This particular car wears Smoke Silver Metallic over a black leather interior and comes with both the removable hardtop and the convertible soft top — giving the owner three distinct configurations depending on the weather and the occasion.
