1984 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class 380 SL
1984 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL - R107 V8 convertible. GORGEOUS! Perfectly maintained; stock, not a restoration. It is a time capsule. The car was babied all of its life. The drivetrain, suspension and body all are in fantastic condition. All maintenance and repairs have been performed as needed. Double timing chain. Years of service records available. This SL drives, rides and shifts like a Mercedes S-class should. The car has only lived in California and Florida. The soft top is perfect and is only 2 years old. It is OEM. Included is a hard top, also in great condition. A rolling stand is included for storing the hardtop. The car cold starts almost instantly. Engine is smooth and quiet. The tranny shifts very smoothly, The suspension is tight but smooth at the same time. All suspension parts are up to spec; many rubber bits, ball joints, bushings, drivetrain mounts have been replaced as needed over the years.The AC blows cold and the heat is, well, hot. The car is blue on blue on blue; The exterior color is a metallic silver blue. The interior is blueish light gray leather with matching trim and carpeting. The soft top is dark blue. The paint is beautiful, deep and glossy. It is smooth to the touch, not oxidized. A buff and polish will make it look brand new. There are no dents or dings but there are a few tiny chips- easily touched up. See photos. The chrome/brightwork is almost perfect. The interior wood trim are in excellent condition. The leather is mostly in great condition, but the driver's seat is dry and unhappy. Every electrical function works as it should (except the crappy Kenwood stereo). This SL gets compliments constantly. Full Disclosure (see photos): The known issues are minor and typical: The paint has a few tiny imperfections which can be easily buffed out or touched up. There is a crack in the dash and the sun visors are bloated due to sun (typical of most old convertibles). The soft top is almost new, so it can be difficult to fasten closed if it isn’t used regularly to keep it stretched tight. Disclaimer: This little car with a big V8 is very fast and has cost me a small fortune in speeding tickets. It hasn’t cost a fortune in gas; it gets the best gas mileage of any R107.It rides like a Benz, smooth as silk, so you don't realize how fast you really are going. The car handles like a honed sports car; tight, communicative, grips the road, but at the same time it often makes the road seem smoother than it really is. ______________________Vehicle Details:
