Vehicle Description
This week, Canyon State Classics brings to market a 1982 Mercedes
380SL in Anthracite Grey over Grey leather. This car has been owned
locally in AZ for well over the last decade. The owners spent a lot
of time and money ensuring that this car was well maintained. Many
of the typical 380-series issues have been addressed already so you
dont have to, including a new double row timing chain. All service
has been fully documented at the same shop and will be included
with the car. R107's have been climbing steadily and the 380 series
is a great entry point. Dont miss out on a chance to own this one
before prices for well kept examples take off!
