Mercedes Benz 1983 380SL 2-door coupe roadster silver blue excellent runner

1983 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series Description

My son and his fiance drove this away on their wedding day this year, see photo. Then they flew down the freeway with the top down at 70 mph for 20 miles and the brides hair did not get messed up because of the great airflow diversion trait these cars have.

This has been in West of USA it’s whole life. Very original. Some minor dings and scratches.

Runs out very well, smooth, no smoke, starts right up even after sitting for months. Need room for my work equipment so must sell.

Automatic transmission. Brakes work well. Clean Oregon title good until 2018. Soft top has some wear and a small hole in each side window, see photos. Original hardtop was not used much, very nice condition and its heavy and has the original pulley system with small block and tackle to allow one person to lift the top while in the garage, then tie it off to the cleat.

Floor panels solid. Only rust is a small bubble on the left rear of the trunk lid, see photos. Chrome wheels have typical corrosion from years of age. Spare wheel is not chrome and appears unused. Tires matching and in good shape with lots of tread. Lights work except for a couple interior. Glass is in great shape with some rubber showing minimal ageing. Carpets are in great shape. Dash appears to have an aftermarket cover (something I'm not familiar with) but it looks good. Release mechanisms for hood and hard-top work well. Doors open and close properly. Electric door windows roll up and down properly. Electric mirror on passenger side does not function. Aftermarket radio/CD works somewhat. Finish on some of the console wood is cracked from age. Glove box is nice. Front right turn signal lens is broken. Original owner’s manual. Driver's door pouch is off the car but comes with the car as does the drivers visor.

Original tool bag and most tools (see photos), very clean trunk, original jack. Engine compartment is clean and looks to have all OEM components.

Buyer is responsible for shipping or pick up. I can store the car under cover for up to three weeks after close of auction as long as the payment schedule is met. Title will be signed over and either given to you or your pick-up person or can be priority mailed to you. Thank you
