02 Mercedes SL500 Silver Arrow

[jaywish]

If you know these cars the silver arrow is the limited edition. It is in storage for the winter. About 30K miles, very nice condition. It has a salvage title but you would not know to look at it. It was my last winter project car and I ran it last summer. Very cool and fast. Speed limited to 155mph. Not really sure about selling it but I have to sell something as there are so many cars and so little time.

If you have interest call me @ 914 774-3604.

The car is in storage for the winter, so no pics.....

Being a Silver Arrow it is a special high metallic silver with special silver trim, special rims, a unique interior, instrument cluster, HID headlights, AMG trim and brakes. Kind of like the early Marauders, only one color combo available. Same sheet metal as the normal sl500.

There were 1,400 made worldwide. 2002 only. They make the silver arrow only once per body style. The next was made in 2009.

There is one listed as a silver arrow on ebay now a 2001, but it is not a Silver Arrow, like someone listing a black vic as a Marauder.

I found one on Auto trader, maybe not the best pics or angles, but that is the car. They have pics with the top down, up and the aluminum hard top installed. It does not really do the interior justice.

The car was hit fairly lightly but on three sides. It was still straight, but required three sides of sheet metal replaced. A driving donor was parted out as the cost of the new parts is what totaled it in the first place. No aftermarket, either new or take off Mercedes parts.

It a a 5.0 V8

Good luck with the sale if that's what you want to do...
I have a 1999 CLK 320 Cabriolet that is part of the permanent collection--the wife loves it.
Mercedes build quality is great, but some of the parts prices are out of this world.

It is a funny thing with Mercedes part prices, some are reasonable and the occasional one is crazy.

I really can not have more than three cars at a time (I can not really complain) so I should sell something to start another project or try another car. The wagon is my "truck" and cheap project car. I guess I would consider selling the Marauder after all these years but it would need to be an offer I could not refuse. Also I don't know what I would replace it with.

CLK's are nice cars by the way.
