I'm with Kaleb on this one - per John Olson's book "The SL Experience",
The 500SL (as well as the 280SL, 300SL, and 420SL) was never officially
imported to the US. The 560SL was a US-only model. The only 107 SLs
imported to the US through official channels were the 350 (4.5L), 380,
450, and 560.
There was nothing truly "special" about the 500SL as it was the about
the 500SLC and 450SLC 5.0, both of which were rally homologation cars.
