Vehicle Description
A premium appearance, distinct details, both tops, and a true V8
cruiser style - this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is the affordable
drop-top luxury classic that is an irresistible total package.
The Mercedes R107 SL is an outstanding classic today. They built
these with a robustness that seems to be unparalleled by any other
luxury carmaker of this era. But sturdiness is just the underlying
attraction that goes with the car's elegance. There's a shining
presentation of the Champagne Metallic paint that lets the luster
show off the well-creased body lines. A golden pinstripe, clean
glass, a power antenna, and clean black trim are all part of a
sleek and quality style. As you look inside and out on this Benz,
you're going to find added touches of distinction. For example, the
front end has a Euro-style lower valance for a sporty appearance.
And the same speed attractiveness goes for the Ronal 15-inch
five-spoke alloys.
The color-matched hardtop gives this a coupe-like silhouette, and
the brown soft top is quite attractive against the harmonizing gold
paint. But while having two roof options makes this car ideal, we
all know these SLs are best when topless. So it's nice to have a
custom interior to show off. The upholstery was done within the
last six years. It's a beautiful deep brown that added the Mercedes
tri-star stitched into the headrest, and the rear shelf received a
premium custom style. It's an impressive look, but nothing ever
takes this one out of a driver's car kind of feeling. So it's both
luxurious and easy to enjoy. This includes cruise control, an
armrest center console, and well-contoured bucket seats. There are
also provisions for features like air conditioning and power
windows (they will need servicing.) And the stereo has been
upgraded for better driving music thanks to an AM/FM/CD/XM that
also includes USB and Bluetooth for your phone.
The 3.8-liter fuel-injected V8 is one of those ideal powerhouses
with an overhead cam design that knows how to make good torque even
at the low end. That's how these Mercedes-Benzes know how to pull
away from every stoplight with authority. It feels quite confident
out on the highway. 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, a three-speed automatic transmission,
and four-wheel power disc brakes.
Complete with the owner's manual, this is affordable vintage luxury
with timeless appeal and terrific custom touches. So don't miss
this SL. Call today!!!
