Vehicle Description
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL comes with fuel-injected V8 power,
both tops, all the right features (including A/C), and exceptional
maintenance. It all makes for an exceptional classic convertible
that also knows how to fit in your budget.
The cream white paint sets the tone right for a car like this.
Glossy but not flashy, and that means subtle elegance. It shows all
the right signs of being the factory application, and while the
odometer reflects the car's actual mileage, the level of
completeness is a reminder of the superior quality of a
Mercedes-Benz. And the straightness of the sheet metal also tells
you this one had been treated with respect over the decades. The
chrome bumpers, bright trim, and polished wheels add the right
flair. But the real premium feeling comes from the more understated
pieces, like the artful line of the hood, the full-length
pinstripe, and the purposeful action of the doors.
The tan leather interior is a nice complementing color to the
exterior, and it also goes with the pinstripe. So it's extra
encouragement to stay open to the world. But if your day turns
gray, the well-fitting soft top can quickly come out from under the
boot. Plus, this one comes with the optional color-matched
removable hardtop for those who want a true coupe-like profile.
While your roof options are first-class, that's only the beginning
of the luxury. There's plenty of evidence it has lived a pampered
life with the carpeting, dash, and wood grain center console all
looking good. The seats have spent most of their life so far
protected under sheepskin covers, and so they almost look like time
capsules today. A Mercedes means terrific luxury, and so this is
loaded with factory features like power windows, power locks, a
tilt steering column, a power antenna, and the desirable Becker
Grand Prix AM/FM/cassette stereo. There are also nice upgrades like
cup holders and a rear wind deflector. And because air conditioning
is so desirable in a drop-top, it's now blowing cold with modern
R134a refrigerant.
The 3.8-liter SOHC V8 under the hood has a stock and original
style. A long maintenance file shows that it has been given the
right attention, and the way this fuel-injected motor fires up
readily proves this proper care. So this powerhouse knows how to
uphold the Mercedes reputation of sturdy luxury cruisers. This car
also earns its status with great driving features like a four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive comfort, a well-balanced fully
independent suspension, power steering, and four-wheel power disc
brakes.
The sale comes complete with the maintenance records and nice
extras like a car cover. This is an affordable and sturdy luxury
classic that provides enjoyable top-down motoring. Call
