500SL convertible For Sale (1983)~138,000 two-owner miles, VIN WDB10704612002659, additional photos can be found at http://s1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/chasm61/
This was a "gray-market" US import in 1983, and a one-owner car from new, in storage for about five years prior to my purchase in March, 2011. There is zero rust, with a respray in its original Anthracite Grey Metallic some time prior to storage. The paint is very good, although there are a few minor chips and scratches that I have had to touch up. Otherwise the body is in excellent condition. The matching color removable hard top is included in the sale, and is in very good condition. The black soft top is in very good condition for its age and is in excellent working order. Likewise, the black interior is in great condition. All seat are in good order, all hinge covers present, recovered in 1997 in correct MB materials with no rips, tears, seam pulls, broken springs, or other issues you find with many older Mercedes seats. The Zebrano wood dash trim and inserts are in excellent condition, without any sign of cracking or fading. Mechanically, the car has been completely recommissioned over the past year at a cost over $16,000US. Receipts are available to be emailed upon request for your review. Here is a brief recap of most, but not all work completed over the past year since my purchase: Complete timing chain service including new chain, guides, tensioner, gear sprockets... complete intake and fuel injection service including new gaskets, seals, injectors, hoses... 120k major service including replacement of all fluids, spark plugs, filters... new battery... new oil pressure sender... New correct rotor, cap, and plug wire set... new engine drive belts... replace transmission mount and transmission coolant lines... replaced front sway bar bushings and perform front end alignment... new shock absorbers... drain and recondition fuel tank and replace fuel pump... new brake master cylinder, slotted brake rotors, calipers, lines, and ceramic low-dust brake pads... recharge and service A/C system... replace or recondition door vacuum actuators (central locking), and top boot seals and cable... new 16 inch Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires (225/55R16) on 1992 8-hole style Mercedes R129 wheels... new spare tire mounted to the original 14 inch "Bundt" style wheel (205/70R14). The 16 inch wheels with wider tires give the car a more aggressive stance. The original 14 inch Bundt style wheels are included in the purchase as well, so you have both sets. This car is driven almost daily around town, and has been trouble-free. For the most part, you can drive this car today, and for the next 100k miles, expecting little in the way of MAJOR maintenance. This is a fully sorted, high quality driver that presents very well for informal shows and events. It's a joy to drive, with abundant torque on demand. Mercedes-Benz considers the R107 generation SL a "young classic" and rare variants like the 500SL are due to rise in value as they pass the 30 year mark and into the future. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who loves this design, and wants to hold onto an investment they can drive and enjoy for years to come. I need to sell the car now rather than holding onto it as planned, so I've already spent much more than I expect to get back out of the car today. The only work required is to fix a heater core leak. Heat is not as important as A/C here in TX, so I have bypassed the heater for now. As a result, this car does not currently have cabin heat or defrost. It does have heated seats which are in excellent working order. Of course, there are the usual minor things you'd expect of any well-preserved 29 year old car. But there is nothing required for the safe enjoyment of this car. This is an opportunity to acquire a "known quantity", with confidence in the condition should you choose to continue further investment. I'm certain the right buyer will be elated with their purchase. I wish my current circumstances allowed me to continue driving and restoring it myself, as this car will certainly appreciate in value. Payment in US funds only; all checks must clear the bank prior to delivery/pickup. Shipping, if required, is of course at the buyer's expense. But I'll be happy to help coordinate shipping, domestic or overseas, within reason. I have a clear USA-TX title in hand.
