This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SL is a European-market example that is finished in black over tan leather. The car is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and features a color-matched removable hardtop, a black soft top, 15″ Gullideckel wheels, a rear spoiler, fog lights, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a Becker AM/FM cassette stereo. The seller acquired the car in 2020 and subsequent service included replacing the tires, shifter bushings, gaskets, and hood pad as well as the powertrain and subframe mounts.
The car is finished in Black (040) and features a color-matched removable hardtop and a replacement black convertible soft top. Additional equipment includes slimmer non-US bumpers, fog lights, heat-insulating glass, a rear decklid spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets as well as bright window surrounds, mirrors, and trim.
Silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels are wrapped in Lemans Touring A/S tires that were reportedly fitted in preparation for the sale.
The cabin features seating surfaces that were reupholstered in tan leather along with a matching center console, door panels, and carpets. Interior amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, floor mats, a refurbished Becker AM/FM cassette stereo, and power aLessories.
A four-spoke steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, a clock, and metric gauges for coolant temperature and oil pressure. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 63k miles.
The 5.0-liter V8 was factory rated at 237 horsepower and 296 lb-ft of torque. Service under current ownership is said to have included an oil change along with replacement of the shifter bushings, gaskets, and hood pad as well as the subframe, engine, and transmission mounts.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
