Ok...Will have the 560SL at the shop most days for viewing/driving if anyone is interested.  I just took a BUNCH of photos and..well...of course I can't find the cord that hooks the camera into the computer.....So as soon as I get some photos, I'll post them.

Also I just took it to the Mercedes guy in FWB and he took care of all the B/S that needed fixing...Somehow when in his possession, Gord had managed to break one of the visors....that was 500.00 to fix (OUCH)  and the antenna motor wasn't working when I bought it and decided to go ahead and replace it....another 450.00....plus he gave the A/C a Freon charge and the air runs really really cold.  Oil and filter change..... New top last year was 1,200.00 and as I said previously new tires last year also.  Mileage is 112,000.....Have the hardtop and the stand and cover for it also...

As soon as the rain stops I'm going to have Beachy Clean detail it....with the 1,100.00 I just put into it I have it priced at 9,500.00....but if you are a sowaller I'll honor the 8,500 I posted earlier....

If I happen not to be here at the gallery...call me 850.699.1418...

Tires less than 2 years old
New soft Top
Hard Top Included with stand and cover
I *think* the mileage is around 110,000 (will check when I get home)
I'll also post more photos soon...

Please note that the "Santa Babies and Driver are NOT included"

$8,500.00
