This Mercedes-Benz R129 SL got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL was initially sold in Florida and spent time in Maryland through the selling dealer’s acquisition in 2023. Finished in Arctic White over blue leather, the car is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a removable body-color hardtop, antilock disc brakes, 16″ Gullideckel wheels, gray lower body cladding, power-adjustable seats, and a cassette stereo. Service carried out in March 2025 involved converting the air conditioning system to utilize R134a refrigerant, repairing the shift linkage, and installing a replacement blue soft top, top hydraulic cylinders, and hardtop hardliner in addition to replacing the tires, strut mounts, and battery. This R129 has 59k miles and is offered at no reserve by the selling dealer with an owner’s manual, a tool kit, a wind deflector, partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Maryland title.
