Writing this gives me a great pause of disbelief!  I never thought i would sell.  I simply cant get enough of classic cars but I am truly limited on space and cars must be driven.  
I've priced it less than the collector status market would probably net just in the interest of moving on.  I will truly miss this car.  I've seen pristine 560's going for the mid 30's.
This is a wonderful. wonderful car!  I own many classic cars and this one is just very special.  If you know the 560SL you know its a solid German tank but with incredible grace.  Strong in ever aspect and drives with such a comfortable force.
When i was a kid my mother purchased a brand new 380SL and i had the great fortunate in picking it up at the dealership.  I was only 16 and the drive home was so awe inspiring that i knew one day i would own one too.  It took me 31 years to find another pristine example.  I purchased this one from the original owner after a long search.  


Many SL's look great in ads but not many look as good in person.  This one does. Runs excellentStarts immediatelyOperates very quietlyBrakes excellentShift perfectlyRides flawlesslyDoors. Trunk and Hood close decisivelyLights. Horn. Radio & Gauges all work as they shouldInterior leather in good shapeRecent Oil change/filter/spark plugs/cap/points/rotor
As close to perfect this is. it does have some flaws:
Matching Hard top has some scratches from storage.  Body has 3 faint dings from storageScratch on trunk from hardtop installOriginal wheels have a little tarnishArmrest leather has some creasesSmall scratch/dent on chrome bumper apronOriginal AC Freon and is not very coldStain on trunk carpetStain on console carpetDrivers seat shoulder back has a 3' tear where it rubs on seat belt.
The gentleman i purchased it from did not have a service history binder.  He was very elderly and this was his baby and it shows.  I was sure it was well serviced because of its condition so i gladly purchased it without one.   Comes with full Mercedes Benz car cover and Convertible Bimini cover. Has Pirellis on front and Michelin Sports on rear.
Buying Option:  I have a rare set of Euro Headlights that i considered having installed because i like that look.  I never did.  They are available for an additional $2. 00. 00
