This car is a restoration project. I purchased this low millage launch edition SL 500 last year as a project I could do with my dad for fun. This car was in a long term storage. We have been able to accomplish a great deal, unfortunately, I am all by myself now and lost interest in restoring it. Here is what had been done to date 1. I purchased an original Mercedes SDS diagnostic system that will come with it 2. ABC was removed and replaced with Neomax coil over system. 3. Complete tune up, new spark plugs and coils, transmission flush, etc. It drives great and just passed Texas inspection. 4. All hydraulic roof cylinders were replaced. 5. Roof pump was rebuilt by top hydraulics. 6. The PSE - the air pump was rebuilt and trunk lock replaced 7. The plastic plate in the shifter was preemptively replaced with aluminum one and now it won't leave you stranded. Here is what needs to be done yet. 1. The hydraulic pump that powers the roof needs to be put back. Top Hydraulics took 3 months to rebuild the pump but I finally have it. 2. The AC compressor is leaking at the rear seal. You will either need to rebuild it or put a new compressor on it. 3. The head unit is not connected. I will include a custom Sl500 head unit that looks the same as the original and offers apple car play and android auto. The original amps were taken out and the new wiring is in place but needs to be completed 4. The alarm box needs to be replaced - it is not working but drawing 0.4 amp of current 5. The front lower splitter has a crack in it. 6. The interior of the trunk needs to be assembled. All the panels are included. The car drives well and is very comfortable. The two main issues are the top and AC. All the cylinders have been replaced and the pump is freshly rebuilt so it should not be but a couple of days of work to put it all together. All the lines were marked before disconnecting.
