Are you sure it's an '87? I was under the impression that from '86 to
'91 these cars were a 560SL. Give or take a year, the 450SL was built
from '71 to ''80, the 380SL from '81to '85 and the 560SL from '86 to
'91 then came the model change to the new 300/500SL.

It could be titled as an 87 if it was one of the last ones made (vin?)
but not sold until 87. In the US the car gets it's year from the titling
date or date of sale, not year it was amde. This is why you'll see 73
280SEL titles but they stopped making them in 72.
