This black-on-black 1991 Mercedes-Benz 500SL was purchased in 1994 by the late James G. Robinson, who founded Morgan Creek Productions in 1988. The company is known for producing films such as Young Guns, Major League, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, True Romance, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, the car features include a removable hardtop, 16″ Gullideckel wheels, fog lights, a JVC stereo, and automatic climate control. This R129 is offered by the seller on behalf of Robinson’s estate with a clean Carfax report and a Maryland title in the owner’s name.
The car was finished from the factory in black (040) and has been refinished. Exterior features include a removable hardtop, fog lights, headlight wipers, and fender air vents. The seller states that the soft-top hydraulic cylinders have been replaced.
The silver 16″ Gullideckel alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin Primacy tires that have 2007 date codes. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
The power-adjustable seats are upholstered in black leather, and burl wood accents the doors and center stack. Amenities include a deployable roll bar, a JVC CD stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel economy, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 61k miles, approximately 36k of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.0-liter M119 V8 was factory rated at 322 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. The fuel tank was serviced, the oil was changed, and the battery was replaced in preparation for the sale.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
The seller is listing the car on behalf of an estate, and a representative of the estate will handle the transaction.
