To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Sealed December event, Bidding Closes 2 December 2026.
$600, 000 - $750, 000 USD
Just 6, 379 miles from new
The only SL 65 AMG Black Series finished in Silver Arrow Metallic
One of 350 produced in total, of which 175 were reportedly US-delivery examples
Out of an entire production run comprising 350 cars worldwide, 175 of which were destined for the U. S. market, this example is the sole SL65 AMG Black Series to be factory finished in Silver Arrow Metallic. Completed by the factory in November 2009, the car was delivered new via RBM of Atlanta, the authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership in Atlanta, Georgia.
Records on file show that the SL 65 AMG Black Series remained in Georgia until 2017, and was regularly looked after by RBM of Atlanta during its time in the Peach State. Following its early life in Georgia the car moved west to California, where it was acquired by an owner based in Clarmont in northeastern Los Angeles. While in his care the car was serviced in June of 2020 at Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel. The SL would move to Arizona with its next owner, who serviced the car with Mercedes-Benz of Gilbert in September 2022, including the fitment of new tires (6, 013 miles).
Currently showing just 6, 379 miles from new, the SL 65 AMG Black Series presents beautifully throughout—truly an extraordinary example of what is arguably the most sought-after SL since the fabled 300 SL Gullwing. The SL 65 AMG Black Series took one of Mercedes-Benz’s rarest and most desirable cars, the SL 65 AMG, and turned it from being a wolf in sheep’s clothing, to being a wolf in wolf’s clothing. With only the doors carrying over from the standard SL 65 AMG, new carbon fiber bodywork with wider fenders, and a fixed roof showcased the incredible performance under the skin. On tap is 661 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque, thanks to larger turbochargers and a remapped ECU.
Showing just 6, 379 miles from new as the only SL 65 AMG Black Series finished in Silver Arrow Metallic, this example stands out from its siblings and must be one of the best examples of its type.
