1983 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Description

This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is a loaded luxury cruiser with a terrific color combo, A/C comfort, and the desirable option for two tops. So it's great to find such a well-done package in such a low-mileage vintage machine.
Averaging well under 1,100 miles annually really signals this one was the car that left the garage only for special occasions. And because it was treated exceptionally, you get a terrifically crisp look to the whole body as some of Mercedes-Benz's best design lines have a well-creased and almost unbroken appearance as the extend across multiple panels. This sophisticated look is heightened by the burgundy paint, which gives the excitement of red but in a deeper and more refined tone. The high-quality finish is even believed to be original to the car. The black folding roof looks great against the deep burgundy, and it also works with the rub strips and bumper covers to deliver a nice coordinated look. Of course, for the ultimate in style, the color-matched hardtop give this the look of a dignified coupe.
While we like the look of either roof option, we all know a convertible like this was meant to be open to the world. So it's great to see the light tan leather interior that makes a timeless color combo against the exterior paint. As you peek inside, you see the clean look of a well-respected low-mileage machine. Plus, as a true Mercedes, it comes with all the features you want. This includes power windows, wood trimmed console, and cruise control. Plus, there are great upgrades, like the AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input for modern music players. And the air conditioning is blowing cold with modern R134a, so you and your passenger can stay comfortable while enjoying top-up motoring even in the middle of the summer or on rainy days.
The 3.8-liter SOHC V8 under the hood is believed to be original to the car. It has that ideal stock look, right down to the decals. And the way this fires up and runs with the ideal Mercedes smoothness really reinforces that well-respected feeling in this example. Even the undercarriage photos show an exceptionally clean car. On the road, the four-speed automatic shifts with authority all the way into overdrive comfort. The fully independent suspension soaks up bumps with a comfortable feeling that somehow never isolates the sporting nature that's entertaining on a twisty country road. This is the perfect weekend getaway car as the miles are effortless thanks to features like power steering and four-wheel power disc brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a low-mileage classic that has been treated like a true Mercedes should. So if you love the solid feel of vintage luxury, don't miss this deal. Call now!
