MERCEDES-BENZ: 500-series 500sl

Beautiful and Rare Mercedes-Benz 500SL R107 Euro Roadster. The vehicle originally lived in Texas and was purchased by it's current owner in 2000 out of Asheville, NC. These were expensive, high end vehicles with power and performance tuned to handle the Autobahn. A total of 1,297 were built in 1982 and several found their way to American soil and are distinctive when seen driving down our highways. These vehicles have passed their 25th birthday making them eligible for the Antique Automobile Club of America. The primary focus is still on touring as they make great road cars, but a few have been professionally restored and compete in show fields.
This vehicle has been meticulously maintained by the local dealership and is a great example of an untouched classic Mercedes. The current owners have rebuilt the brakes, fuel injection system, replaced pulley, charged the AC system, and have left most of the car original as it came from the factory. The interior seats were recovered about 10 years ago and look beautiful. The dash does have minor age cracks as usual with these vehicles, the weatherstrips do show some age, there is some "curb rash" on the rims, and the side trim of the right side wheel well trim has some bleed through. Over the years the owners have touched up any rock chips in the original paint in order to keep the car original. Vehicle does include both the hard and soft tops.
The vehicle was recently appraised by a certified appraiser and it was rated as "very good" condition by the appraiser. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. Shipping arrangement and cost is the responsibility of the buyer but we will assist you any way we can.
For whatever reason (probably because it was imported from Europe) eBay saw the VIN as invalid. I have included a picture of the VIN tag to verify if you like.
