Vehicle Description
Timeless colors, great care, and the overall quality of a Mercedes
- that's what attracts you to this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL even
before you check out the loaded features and value price.
We don't see too many black R107 Mercedes SLs anymore. It's the
kind of color that's the pinnacle of sophistication, but not every
classic was treated with the right care to wear it properly. That's
what makes it so great to see this example with its the
factory-correct black looking nice with a good clearcoat shine. It
really loves to show off the desirability that happens when the
precision craftsmanship meets a lifetime of quality care. And this
really has all the right vintage pieces: from the bright chrome
bumpers to the baroque alloy wheels. Plus, you get both a
coupe-like removable hardtop and folding soft top that both come in
black, so this one really does have the sophistication of a dinner
jacket.
While there's an all-black look when the car is buttoned-up, any
time you want to let the sunshine in, this Mercedes takes on a
whole new level of color sophistication. The Java brown interior
makes for a timelessly attractive combo against the black exterior.
And the full-length tan pinstripe on the body gives the total
package a well-coordinated look. So you know you're going to love
driving with the top down. In fact, with the R134a air conditioning
blowing nice and cold, you'll happily enjoy open-top motoring well
into the summer. More than just cold A/C, you and you passenger
will be in total comfort thanks to a smart-looking interior that
includes leather bucket seats, plush carpeting, glossy wood trim,
and power windows.
The 3.8-liter SOHC V8 under the hood is a correct-style powerplant
but it was replaced only about 35k miles ago. So this fuel-injected
motor looks fresh and is a strong runner. The V8 delivers a nice
torquey feeling to get you smoothly and swiftly away from the
stoplights. And the four-speed automatic transmission is a smooth
shifter that provides overdrive comfort. The fully independent
suspension understands a nice balance between luxury and
performance that's entertaining on a twisty country road. So this
is the perfect weekend getaway car. In fact, the miles are
effortless thanks to features like power steering, cruise control,
and four-wheel power disc brakes w/ABS.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a beautiful classic Mercedes
convertible with all the best features. So don't miss this deal,
