Vehicle Description
The Mercedes-Benz SL series started out as the top of the line
sports luxury tourer that offered both performance and comfort. The
third generation SL was called the R107 chassis and is one of the
most recognizable Mercedes of all time. Produced from 1971 all the
way to 1989, the R107 lived a long and cherished life. The United
States was an extremely popular market for the personal luxury
coupe and almost ? of all SL's were sold here. While not as quick
or pretty as their European cousins, the US market SL's still
represented the cream of the personal luxury car crop. The 380SL
was a mid range model that offered an excellent blend of both
efficiency and V8 performance.
This gorgeous 1981 Mercedes 380SL is one of the nicest examples we
have seen and is represent in a unique color combination. The body
is finished in a rare Champagne Poly and the factory hardtop is
Golden Brown. It is a very beautiful pairing and stands out from
the crowd. The exterior of this car is excellent, with nearly
flawless paint and a straight body. The chrome and rubber trim is
in great condition and 14in chrome "Bundt" wheels are a rare
option. The factory hardtop is in excellent shape and fits
perfectly, the dark brown cloth soft top appears to be newer and is
excellent as well. You can definitely tell this car has been garage
kept. The Palomino interior is in great shape as well and the seats
have great padding. The dash and wood trim is crack free and in
great shape. All instrumentation appears to work and the power
windows and power antenna work as well. The car is equipped with
power locks and defroster as well as an aftermarket Alpine stereo
head unit.
This beautiful brown and gold beauty is in wonderful shape and
drives very well. The engine is healthy and the transmission shifts
smoothly. This car has a huge folder of receipts and even has the
original manuals. Originally sold in Anchorage, this car has also
been in South Carolina. With a great mix of options and rare color
combo, this one is sure to please.
