Over the last half-century or so, if you wanted to make a statement to the world that you had arrived in life, you have a couple of different options. A big boat is nice but not many people would ever see it. A big house is fun, but not so much for those who enjoy any kind of movement. And then is a nice car. Specifically, a vehicle like this 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500. Lavish luxury at its finest, this low-slung two-door drop-top looks simply brilliant in its Glacier White original paint. Arguably, the 39,101 miles on the odometer are even more attractive, proving that this beauty still has plenty of years left before it gets old. Inside, we find an original interior in terrific shape decked out in plush Parchment and Tan leather. Settle into those comfy heated and powered seats, and you are instantly even more successful.
Under the hood, we find the original naturally aspirated M119 5.0-liter DOHC V-8, which makes a healthy 315 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque. That power is then routed through the original 722.6 five-speed automatic transmission. The factory suspension is still in place, as are the power front and rear disc brakes and the factory 16-inch wheels, which, thankfully, have been updated to modern Michelin 225/55R-16 rubber.
