"One of the longer-running nameplates ever sold in North America, Mercedes-Benz's C107 and R107 coupes and convertibles, ran for nearly 20 years. A local consignment has owned and cared for the car since 2014 - 10 years.
This example, made in the company's Sindelfingen assembly plant in West Germany in January 1988 looks good even though it's approaching 40 years of age. There's a power-folding fabric top, dark brown in color (code 592).
The car's Signal Red (code 568) paint and trim are in overall very good condition with minor belmishes. It looks a stunt double for Jennifer Hart's car in the classic TV drama, ""Hart to Hart"" starring Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers. The car's bodywork is straight and solid, the chrome bumpers fit tightly to the body. The body-matching hardtop looks good.
This Benz rolls on Michelin radials, size 205/65R15 at all four corners. Each one is mounted to a factory alloy wheel. The wheels and tires are all in very good order.
Under the hood is a 5.6L SOHC 16-valve V-8 engine (code M117) with Bosch KE-Jetronic fuel injection. Backing this motor is a 4G-TRONIC four-speed automatic transmission (code W4A 040). Driver convenience equipment includes electronic climate control (code 581); outside temperature indicator (code 240); power and heated sideview mirrors (code 506); Becker Mexico electronic radio (code 519); and power antenna (code 531). Other items include power recirculating ball steering, power windows, power locks and cruise control.
Safety equipment includes a driver's side airbag (code 442), four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock and a rear window defroster (code 592).
Inside, the car's Palomino leather interior (code 274) looks inviting. The bucket seats are fitted in leather and are in very good order. The matching carpet is in satisfactory order and the hardtop's headliner looks good. The driver's seat has a front folding armrest (code 570). The usual deep-dish Mercedes four-spoke steering wheel faces the driver. The dash has a black cap atop it then changes to Palomino like the rest of the interior. The dash, interior door panels and center console all look great. A console-mounted shift lever and a Becker Mexico Grand Prix electronic stereo (code 519) round out the interior. The odometer is sporadic and power antenna is inop.
Droptop competition to this Benz in 1988 included Aston Martin's Vantage Volant�, Chevrolet's Corvette, Excalibur's Series V Phaeton, Saab's 900 Turbo Cabriolet and Stutz's Bearcat II Convertible.
