Initially delivered to Atlanta Classic Cars of Decatur, Georgia, this well-preserved SL500 features a 5.0-liter V8 engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission.

The exterior of the SL500 Silver Arrow is not only visually striking but also highly functional. The car’s color-matched removable hardtop and black convertible top ensure versatility in various weather conditions. The xenon headlights and fog lights provide excellent visibility, while the AMG-styled front spoiler, side skirts, and rear apron add a sporty touch. The convertible top hydraulic distributor and cylinders have been replaced in preparation for the sale, ensuring the car’s operational integrity.
