This '99 SL500 was recently acquired from a loving owner who used the vehicle as a weekend and special night driver. Showing just under 37,000 miles on the odometer, it is obvious this convertible was loved and cared for. Around the exterior, the Firemist Red exterior gleams and is offset by the stunning Parchment interior. Upon acquisition by Motor City Classic Cars, a new soft top was installed on this car and the hydrualics were rebuilt on the power top to ensure seamless function. Loaded with power features, this car operates fantastically. This car also has its original removable hard top in body-matching Firemist Red. It is a blast to drive and evokes timless luxury.
Unless states otherwise, mileage shown on odometer is exempt and unknown if original.
