ThanksJanuary 31st, 2025 at 3:12pm ESTblakleyleonard (351) 5The preservation of originality in this car is amazing down to the original window sticker. Cars can be restored and parts can be replaced, but they're only original once. Blue over blue with a blue top is about as good as it gets and these early R129's are fantastic classics. Someone will be getting a gem!January 31st, 2025 at 2:53pm EST$26,000 bid placed by @rsoheilianJanuary 31st, 2025 at 2:52pm EST$25,000 bid placed by @beachdayJanuary 31st, 2025 at 2:47pm EST$22,750 bid placed by @rsoheilianJanuary 30th, 2025 at 10:15pm EST$22,500 bid placed by @KarlwhoJanuary 30th, 2025 at 6:25pm EST$21,500 bid placed by @teamkuoJanuary 30th, 2025 at 5:21pm EST$20,000 bid placed by @R129hoarderJanuary 30th, 2025 at 1:23pm EST$18,750 bid placed by @europeanauto1January 30th, 2025 at 9:52am ESTGASMotorcars (0) Seller 0@Karlwho Good morning and thanks for the questions and compliments! When we acquired the car, the 2nd key was not with it nor were the previous records unfortunately (Being that the key is NLA we aren't able to replace). Beyond that, that last auction said the cylinders had been replaced but record of that wasn't provided. Shortly after we received the car, one of them failed so we saw fit to replace them out of caution (it's just the right way to treat a car). As for the seatbelt light it was intermittenntly flashing, we did discuss that in the video and had it looked at by our MB tech. There didn't seem to be a direct cause so they couldn't figure out how to track down other than clean some connectors which seems to have done the trick. Hopefully that's a concise enough answer, happy to take time for a phone call as well!January 29th, 2025 at 11:37pm ESTKarlwho (3) 0Amazing SL! Looking for a bit of clarity on this listing… when this sold on another online auction site back in Aug of ‘22, that listing mentioned this car having all the top hydraulics changed in June of ‘22. This listing says they were replaced in preparation for the sale… has this car had 2 rounds of new cylinders within the last 2.5yrs? Also want to confirm there’s only 1 key now, when it previously had 2 fobs. Lastly, the driving video on the previously listing showed the seatbelt light on. The same light is on in your driving video. Any idea why that hasn’t been sorted? Or what the fix might be?January 29th, 2025 at 3:45pm ESTMrJagger (11) 0@VIGIL Nah, it's perfect as it is. The 89-92 stock cars retain that quality the 70's and 80's cars had. This one deserves to stay exactly as it is, and I love a 6.0 amg as much as the next man. January 29th, 2025 at 2:26pm ESTbrbnTRL (0) 0@VIGIL agreed! It would completely transform it. Nothing wrong with it as-is, it's a gorgeous car but @gasmotorcars is right. These early cars are specialJanuary 29th, 2025 at 9:31am ESTVIGIL (17) 1Hear me out: this would be an excellent candidate for three-piece AMG Aero IIIs and a Gen I body kit. The early M119.960 engine is as close as we get to a production pre-merge AMG powerplant and this car would benefit from that I reckon.

Early R129s are the way to go an no one really understands that on the SL market. Super slept on.

This is a known electrical failure on pre 96 models. January 25th, 2025 at 1:37pm EST$14,000 bid placed by @SublimekeithJanuary 24th, 2025 at 4:07pm ESTKiloOscar (0) 1What an absolute time capsule!
