For Sale: 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380 in Mesa, Arizona

Classic Car Addict is proud to present this family-owned-since-new 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL with 32k original miles for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. The 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL belongs to the legendary R107 chassis generation, one of the longest-running model lines in Mercedes-Benz history, produced from 1971 through 1989. During the 1980s, the R107 SL became a symbol of success, luxury, and open-air motoring, appearing throughout the era's television and movie culture.

Exterior:
The car is finished in Astral Silver Metallic (735) and features a color-matched removable hardtop as well as a dark blue convertible soft top. Additional exterior details include quad headlights, fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim. The car will also come with the hardtop roller stand. Silver-finished 14" Bundt alloy wheels are mounted to Michelin 205/70R14 tires with 2019 DOT date codes.

Interior:
Blue leather (232) covers the bucket seats, which are accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard, center console, door panels, and carpeting. Other appointments include automatic climate control, a Becker Europa AM/FM/cassette stereo, wood trim, electric windows, central locking, and cruise control. The four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including an 85-mph speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer, clock, and additional gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and fuel economy. The six-digit odometer shows 32,317 actual miles.

Engine:
Power comes from the numbers-matching 3.8-liter M116 V8 engine. The M116 was Mercedes-Benz's light-alloy V8 and delivered the smooth, refined character expected from the SL roadster. Built for relaxed grand touring rather than brute-force muscle, the 380SL offers the kind of confident, polished driving experience that helped make the R107 such an enduring classic.

Transmission:
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a factory four-speed automatic transmission with a gated floor shifter in the center console. This hydraulic automatic transmission was engineered for smooth, composed luxury cruising.

Wheels and Tires:
Silver-finished 14" Bundt alloy wheels are mounted to Michelin 205/70R14 tires with 2019 DOT date codes.

Brakes:
Stopping power is provided by four-wheel power-assisted hydraulic disc brakes.
