Vehicle Description
This classic 1984 Mercedes 380SL comes with ideal original color
combination, both tops, fuel-injected V8 power, and quality vintage
presentation...and yet you don't have to pay over $15k to take true
timeless luxury home.
The design of the R107 series Mercedes SL was regal from day one,
and now it has matured into a true symbol of an upper-crust
classic. It only gets better when you see one like this that has
always been treated with the respect it deserves. The paint was
given a respray of the factory-correct white to make sure it
retains a nice gloss in the sunshine. The mirror-like chrome on the
bumpers add to this radiance, and unique baroque alloy wheels
complete the package you expect from an iconic 1980s Mercedes. The
look of quality also comes from an exceptionally straight body
thanks to the Teutonic tightness of these legendary overbuilt cars.
There's also plenty of style within the substance. The black roof
has a good look as it tastefully contrasts the body while
simultaneously coordinating with the black bumper guards. You also
get the color-matched hardtop for those times when you want a true
coupe silhouette.
For the same reason why we find the black folding roof so
appealing, you're also going to love the full black interior. The
dash, doors, carpeting, sun visors, and optional leather seats have
a deep color that furthers the evidence that this one has lived a
pampered life. And the glossy wood trim does a great job of
breaking up this darkness with a warm tone. There are plenty of the
best in factory luxury, including power windows, cruise control,
power antenna, and the desirable Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/cassette
stereo. The factory air conditioning is still present but will need
servicing to blow cold again. This car is so well preserved, you
even get extras that are hard to find in other classic Benzes, like
the correct style tool kit and the original first aid kit is still
in its special compartment behind seats.
The 3.8-liter V8 under the hood has the clean look of a
well-respected classic. This SOHC and fuel-injected motor was built
to continue the Mercedes tradition of torque-filled powerhouses
that can pull ahead with grace. The fully independent suspension
knows how to offer the perfect balance between a supple ride and
back roads fun. The same goes for the four-speed automatic that has
precision shifts and highway-friendly overdrive. Add in features
like power steering and four-wheel power disc brakes, and this is a
true grand touring machine.
The sale comes with impressive paperwork like the original window
sticker and full owner's manual packet. This proves that you're
looking at a true upper-class vintage Mercedes for quite a nice
price. Call today!!!
