Vehicle Description
This week Canyon State Classics is proud to bring to market one of
our favorite automobiles here at the shop. The beautiful and
powerful 1980 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL Euro Spec Roadster. This was THE
big boy car to own in the 80's and 1980 was the prime time of an
era of overbuilt, zero compromise engineering from the Silver Star.
The European 3.8L Mercedes DOHC V8 was the most powerful SL
Mercedes had ever built up to that point.
The following is a list of options as this 380 SL is currently
equipped:
-3.8L 215hp V8 Engine 224 lb tq -4 Speed Automatic Transmission
-Posi-Traction Rear End -Cruise Control -Power Windows -Power Door
Locks -Power Antenna -Original Soft Top PERFECT! -Fog Lamps -RARE
Heated Seats -Euro Spec Small Bumpers and Headlights with Washers
-Original Leather Interior -Upgraded Premium Sound -Original 15in
Gullideckel Alloy Wheels -Michelin Radials The body on the car is
in like new OUTSTANDING condition and was extremely well
maintained. The paint on the car is finished in its original Astral
Silver Metallic and is in very good condition on rust free sheet
metal with no accidents ever. The car has been completely inspected
underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any well
cared for garaged car should be. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber
seals are in great shape. It just had a full detail done at a cost
of over $1000 so this car looks spectacular! The euro spec cars are
always easily recognizable by their perfect small bumpers, flush
glass full headlamps. This is by far the nicest 380SL for sale
anywhere for under $15k.
The interior is in very nice original condition all around. The
dash and door panels are in very nice condition with zero cracks or
damage to be noted anywhere. The navy blue leather seats are all in
very good condition and look great for over 40yrs old, which shows
the quality of leather used in this car. All wood grain is in
excellent condition with ZERO cracks to be seen. The carpets are
all very nice are not worn or damaged. All dials and controls
function as they should, power windows and antenna also are fully
functional. All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as
they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does have the
original jack, tools, and the original spare tire and wheel. This
car is all there and in excellent shape with all functions and
accessories working as they should. The upgraded period correct
head unit sounds crisp and clean and really make your driving time
enjoyable.
Mechanically, this SL runs GREAT! I have owned HUNDREDS of 80's and
90's era Mercedes vehicles, and this car is definitely in the top
tier! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. The
V8engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix,
and parts are readily available. The suspension is very tight and
feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 90mph, and is claimed to
have a top speed of 160 MPH! The car is tight and right with some
of the lowest mileage to be found, with no leaks or current
mechanical issues. The car will include 2 keys, tools,spare tire,
and owners manual.
All in all, this is beautiful SL. It has been professionally
maintained and truly loved by its previous owner.This Mercedes is a
fantastic car for the price and includes every option offered in
this car. The car also has a clean Arizona Title. Any further
questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in
Sunny Tempe, Arizona.
