THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this classic Benz is in good/presentable99.99% rust-freedriver-quality condition overall.MinorImperfections include clearcoat failure on the hood,along with various minor nicks, scratches and other light blemishes.

THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this 1983 Benz is in good condition overall with all lights and gauges working as they should, There are a few heat cracks on the dash, the radio is currently powering up but making no sound and there is a missing under dash panel along with basic wear and tear.Overall this is still one very handsome and comfortable German cockpit!

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 380sl starts easily with good running fuel-injected V8 engine, tight steering and solid suspension. The brakes are decent though exhibiting some rotor pulsating. 35 years later, this is still one solid German cruiser with strong acceleration and great to drive on a sunny afternoon.
