Vehicle Description
1982 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL Convertible
Vintage Mercedes are the perfect combination of old world luxury
and universal appeal. Fast, luxurious, stylish and built like a
Panzer tank, they're first the choice of many classic car
collectors who like to both show and drive their metal. With no
collision or major body damage this rock-solid Benz is a
keeper.
A title verified 102,738 actual miles are showing on this used SL.
A consignor stated all original car that shows the passage of time,
and use with patina, blemishes, and a few dents and dings.
Mechanically sound, a beautiful interior which is fairly clean and
coming with itsMercedes Benz tool kit and first aid kit. An
undercarriage that is rust free, this is the perfect car if you're
one of those Daimler diehards who's looking for the ultimate in
'old school', it's a nice find with both the soft and hardtops!
Exterior
Bathed in Sun Yellow, straight heavy steel is used to fabricate
this "Sport Light" convertible. A few dings, scuffs and overall
staining is seen in the paint, along with some mis-match of color
on the tops of the fenders. However, this could be due to the
staining. Black tear free canvas provides the topper, and a clear
rear plastic window is within the top. Also, an optional body
matching fiberglass hardtop is along with this consignment. A
"Pagoda Style" car due to its roofline, all chrome and trimming
exterior wise are looking great! Rear taillights are ribbed for
self cleaning, did you know? Standard MB wheels are on all 4
corners wrapped in 205/70R14 blackwall radials from the 39th week
of 2021.
Interior
Black leather makes up the front bucket "chairs" and these are
looking slightly used with all good surfaces but not without
notable age wear on thedriver's outer bolster and lower cushion. In
the center is a burl covered console which has the shift lever,
emergency flasher, and power window switches. Moving upward in the
center we note climate control buttons and a slightly worn
AM/FM/Cassette player within more wood burl. Just above this are a
few rocker switches and 3 round air pods for the heat/AC. The dash
is black molded vinyl and all original configuration. Throughout
the cabin, black accenting carpet works the black vinyl making up
the door panels. Behind the seats is a carpeted storage area with
some light fade and behind under the flip up tonneau is storage for
the top.
Drivetrain
Under the hood plenty of patina is showing on the original 3.8
Liter V8 complete with Bosch Jetronic EFI. A 3-speed automatic
transmission is on back as well as a 2.47 rear axle.
Undercarriage
No rust, nice aging, and little road dirt show underneath.
Independent coil spring suspension is seen on both the front and
back, as are power disc brakes on all 4 corners. A stock style dual
exhaust system is on for the exhale and is looking nearly new.
Drive-Ability
Top down, and a luxury German Sports car and what else do you need?
It went fast, handled like it was on rails and all functions were
working Ausgezeichnet save for the AC needing repair...god bless
you!
German engineering, German build, German 3.8 Liter V8 and the
quality goes on and on for these practically indestructible cars.
Mercedes-Benz quality and innovation is second to none, and this
early SL shows the way for things to come, but retains its classic
looks. Schnell!
