You are bidding on a well maintained and strong running 1985 Mercedes Benz 380SL that has been in my ownership for the past 17 years. During that time your new Mercedes, has lived its life in Minnesota stored winters while being driven during the summer months. Currently the car is located in Sarasota, Florida.
The vehicle history indicates an accident 33 years ago, well before my ownership, at no point in the past 17 years has there been any indication of impacted damage. That being said the vehicle is being offered with a Clean Minnesota Title.
In the past two years we have made some considerable investments on several key maintenance items a high-level list includes:
- Updated the air conditioning system and converted it to R134a
- Installed a new compressor and receiver drier, along with and a new fan clutch
- Installed new camshaft, rocker arms, and timing chain tensioner. In addition to replacing eight new injectors, and a re-manufactured fuel distributor along with various breather hoses.
- Replaced the Driveshaft Support Bering with boot along with the necessary vacuum seals
- Replaced both front Tie Rods
- Replaced both rear sway bar links
- New FVP Platinum Battery
- New Soft-Top Window Seals (Top and Rear)
- (Full Service Records are provided in the images below)
The body is in solid shape with no sings of rust which can be seen from the under body photos provided below. The Mercedes is fitted with US-market chrome bumpers, trim, and headlights have been retained, and chrome trim around the wheel arches were installed prior to our ownership. Along with the optional 15″ Centra 31 wheels are fitted and feature gold Mercedes-Benz logos. Lastly, approximately ten years ago the front seats were reupholstered.
Vehicle Specifics Include:
Exterior - Signal Red
Hard Top - Signal Red
Soft Top - Black
Interior - Anthracite leather (Seats have been Re-upholstered)
Trim - Burl Wood

Areas where additional TLC are required:
- The stereo has been disconnected since we acquired the vehicle and, am not sure on its status
- The turn signals to not work from the stock, however, they work when the hazard switch is turned on, the repair shop indicated this likely is a fuse issue relating to the turn signal stock.
- The dashboard clock, likely needs a new battery
