This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL is a European-market example that was purchased new by the current owner and imported into the U.S. in 1986. The car is finished in black over gray leather upholstery and powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes, 14″ Bundt alloy wheels, a black convertible soft top, a color-matching removable hardtop, power windows, air conditioning, and an aftermarket head unit. This R107 is now offered in North Carolina on dealer consignment with the removed factory stereo, a car cover, manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New York title. The car is finished in Black (040) and features a black convertible soft top and a body-color removable hardtop. Additional exterior details include fog lights, dual side mirrors, a power antenna, chrome bumpers, and polished aluminum trim. The 14″ Bundt alloy wheels are mounted with 205/70 Cooper Lifeliner tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel power-assisted disc brakes. The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in gray leather upholstery along with matching treatments for the door panels and lower dashboard. Amenities include power windows, air conditioning, and an aftermarket head unit. The heater was replaced in April 2020, and the removed factory stereo is included in the sale.

The six-digit odometer shows 48k miles. Total mileage is unknown. The 5.0-liter M117 V8 features Bosch Jetronic fuel injection, aluminum heads, and dual overhead camshafts.
