This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC has remained registered in California from new through the current owner’s purchase in June 2008. It is powered by a 5.5-liter M117 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Signal Red over Creme Beige leather upholstery. Equipment includes 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels, a limited-slip differential, a self-leveling rear suspension, a Becker cassette stereo, cruise control, heated power-adjustable front seats, and automatic climate control. This C126 560SEC is offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with spare parts, manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.

The car is finished in Signal Red (568) with gray lower cladding and features headlight wipers, a power antenna, and polished aluminum trim. The window trim is worn, and close-up photos of paint chips are shown in the gallery below.

Silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels are mounted with Pirelli P4 tires. The car is equipped with a self-leveling rear suspension, and braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs with ABS. The brake pads were replaced in 2025.

The cabin features heated power-adjustable front seats upholstered in Creme Beige leather, along with a color-coordinated lower dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Amenities include dual front airbags, a Becker cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control.

The four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation, including a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, an analog clock, and gauges for instant fuel economy, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 106k miles.

The 5.5-liter M117 V8 was factory rated at 238 horsepower and 287 lb-ft of torque. The fuel pump, fuel accumulator, fuel filter, distributor cap and rotor, and spark plug wires were replaced in March 2025.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential.
