Vehicle Description
1994 Mercedes-Benz SL500 for sale! Presenting a stunning, collector-grade example of the iconic R129-generation Mercedes-Benz SL500, showing 133,456 miles on the odometer. This 1994 model represents the pinnacle of over-engineered German luxury from an era when Mercedes-Benz built cars to an absolute standard, rather than a price point. Finished in its highly desirable factory color combination of Malachite Green Metallic over a pristine Tan leather cabin, this SL500 presents an incredibly rare opportunity for the discerning enthusiast: a classic grand tourer that has been subject to an open-checkbook, no-expense-spared mechanical and cosmetic restoration over the past five years. Under the hood sits the legendary 5.0L DOHC M119 V8 engine, an absolute powerhouse known for its bulletproof reliability. The mechanical foundation of this car has been meticulously renewed, featuring deep-engine overhaul work that includes fresh left camshaft hydraulic lifters, brand-new upper and lower timing chain guide rails, new valve cover gaskets, and a pristine lower oil pan and gasket assembly. Elevating its performance and vocal character is a completely custom, professionally fabricated 2.5-inch stainless steel exhaust system equipped with high-flow catalytic converters, a specialized muffler, and classic AMG-style square exhaust tipsgiving this grand tourer a subtle, sophisticated growl without compromising cabin comfort. The entire cooling system has been flushed and overhauled, and the starting system is fully modernized with a new alternator, brand-new starter motor and solenoid assembly, and a fresh battery housed in a factory-replaced structural battery tray. It rides on a fresh, premium set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus tires mounted to 18-inch wheels.The driving dynamics of this SL500 have been returned to their factory-fresh, cloud-like composure. The entire suspension and steering geometry received a comprehensive overhaul, including a brand-new front center steering link, tie rod assemblies, fresh front and rear coil springs with matching factory shims, and new front strut mounts. Braking performance is sharp and confident, upgraded with HEL braided green stainless steel brake lines paired with premium rebuilt front calipers finished in high-temperature black paint, new pads, and fresh rotors all around. The electrical and climate control networksnotoriously complex areas on R129 chassishave been completely sorted via exhaustive preventative care. The air conditioning system has been completely revitalized with a new compressor, receiver drier, expansion valve, and accompanying pressure switches, maintaining a flawless vacuum and blowing ice-cold. Furthermore, common electronic age-points have been fully addressed: a brand-new SRS module has been installed, the factory anti-theft and ignition system wiring has been meticulously repaired, and the critical A/C Base Module was replaced to resolve internal circuitry opens.Visually, this SL500 is nothing short of breathtaking. The entire body and its matching removable factory hardtop were treated to a complete, high-grade bare-metal teardown and professional respray in its correct Malachite Green hue. The complex hydraulic convertible soft-top system has been completely revitalized with fresh fabric, a new headliner, a new bow microswitch, and fresh hydraulic cylinders, ensuring seamless, smooth top operation at the push of a button. Inside, the cabin has been elevated to a concours standard. Sourced through the specialists at Madera Concepts, the complete burl wood interior trimincluding the shift console, ashtray lid, and upper seat control panelswas completely stripped, refinished, and re-veneered to a mirror finish. Both front seats were completely pulled, stripped, and reupholstered with fresh premium padding, new inserts, and brand-new internal headrest adjustment gears. Deteriorated trim panels, door cards, and climate vents have all been replaced with OEM pieces, |
