Hello Viewers!I am incredibly excited to put this is a one-of-a-kind 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL AMG for sale. I am here to happily discuss any questions any of you may have. I am a private owner/seller and have owned this beauty since 2012. I have been restoring various parts over the years. The original owner had AMG modifications done in-period, some of which still remain on the vehicle and some of which I have since replaced. I DO still have the original steering wheel for this vehicle, which has been well kept and has not been on the vehicle since 1989, it will be available by request.Recently refurbished and running like new! The body is finished in Arctic White over beige leather and is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a body-colored removable hardtop, a black soft top, fog lights, automatic climate control, and cruise control,Original in-period pre-merger AMG modifications include.Aerodynamic and Appearance Enhancements- (1989) Front Air Dam, Side Skirts, Rear SkirtPerformance Enhancements- (1989) Limited Slip Differential 3.06 ratio- (1989) Penta WheelsInterior/Exterior Appointments- (1989) AMG Steering Wheel Type II- (1989) AMG Instrument Cluster- (1989) Burl Wood Shift Knob- (1989) AMG Badge (If you purchased 3+ AMG mods you get the badge)The following AMG Modifications were UPDATED by me.

An AMG body kit was added by original owner at the original Mercedes America in Montvale NJ. Additional exterior details include fog lights and a power antenna. The Carfax report lists damage occurring in March 2021, this is being resolved and is due to the way the bumper work was filed. The seller recently had the front and rear bumper trim refinished, and the weather seals for both tops as well as the windshield wiper arms and side moldings were replaced.Silver-painted 15″ AMG Penta alloy wheels with machined lips were fitted in 2020, and the seller states that the 205/65 Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 tires were recently installed.
