Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present the 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380
SLC. Step back into an era of uncompromising German engineering and
timeless grand touring elegance with this coupe.
As a fixed-roof coupe derivative of the legendary R/C107 chassis
generation, the SLC offers rarer production numbers and a
distinctive silhouette that blends classic luxury with everyday
usability. Finished in a sophisticated color palette, this classic
cruiser represents the golden age of Mercedes-Benz
craftsmanship.
Beneath the hood lies Mercedes-Benz's respected 3.8-liter M116 V8
engine, equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and paired
with a responsive 4-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain
delivers smooth, effortless power delivery suited for effortless
highway cruising or weekend country road excursions. The
independent front and rear suspension absorb road imperfections
with legendary composure, offering a ride quality that modern
classics struggle to replicate.
The cabin is a showcase of traditional craftsmanship, featuring
plush seating, classic analog instrumentation, and rich trim
accents. The fixed-roof design provides a remarkably quiet,
structural cabin environment with excellent visibility all around,
making long-distance touring a true pleasure.
