Vehicle 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!
