1985 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Description

Purchased from estate of what I was told was the original owner. Original books included. Factory Euro bumpers, not a US model with euro bumpers slapped on. ABS brakes with rebuilt Ate calipers on all four corners, new Brake master cylinder, all new rotors and pads, brake lines,, oil and filter, distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs, power steering fluid, brake fluid,belts, radiator serviced and coolant flushed, new tires on professionally redone wheels and new catalytic converters with a fresh tune up and passing of strict CA emissions. Dash has minor cracks as seen in photos, otherwise the interior is showroom quality. Also has euro headlight wipers, in casethose lights were sourced and placed to complete the look. The paint is original, and that being said, it’s not perfect. It’s a 5 foot car, but it’s in honest original condition, and only the trunk was repainted by a Mercedes restoration shop because I could not stand that pimple of a US mandated 3rd brake light. The euro spec 380 is superior to the US version in that it has higher compression, different cams, and factory double row timing chain. It’s smoother at higher speeds than my SL500 and performs closer to a 560SL. ABS orange dash light came on recently and my mechanic said it’s probably just a relay/fuse. The cosmoline on the engine is still all there, but could use a professional detail from a high end Benz shop so as to not strip it off, but rather clean it. Driver side tail light does have a small crack, but I did not have the heart to source a used one and possibly not match the passenger side. All that aside, like any older car it is being sold as is and personal inspection is recommended.I have 8 cars and only room for about 5, so if something else sell, this I will keep. True VIN is WDB1070451A017895, eBay won’t allow euro VIN. I reserve the right to cancel listing if car sells locally. Thanks for looking.
