This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is finished in Lapis Blue Metallic over Palomino leather and powered by a 3.8-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a blue soft top, a removable hardtop, aftermarket 15″ chrome wheels, fog lights, a Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo, electric windows, cruise control, and central locking. The car was purchased by the seller in 2011, and they have since added approximately 25k of the 132k miles shown. This R107 is now offered with the owner’s manual, service records, a hardtop stand, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Lapis Blue Metallic and features a color-matched removable hardtop and a blue convertible soft top. Additional exterior equipment includes quad headlights, fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim. Flaws including a scuff on the front bumper rubber, a dent, and damage to the soft top are documented in the image gallery below.
Aftermarket 15″ chrome wheels wear 215/65 Mastercraft Stratus AS tires that were mounted in 2023. The car was factory equipped with power steering, a fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.
The cabin features two bucket seats upholstered in Palomino leather along with a matching center console and door panels. Interior features include a Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo, electric windows, central locking, cruise control, and Zebrano wood trim. Additionally, upgraded Pioneer speakers have been installed below the rear bench. The air conditioning is nonfunctional, and there are cracks in the dashboard. Flaws in the driver’s seat upholstery and driver’s sun visor are shown up close in the gallery.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 132k miles, approximately 25k of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.8-liter V8 was factory rated at 155 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque. A dual-row timing chain conversion was performed in the early 1990s according to the seller, who notes that the battery was replaced in 2024. The car passed a California emissions inspection in May 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history in California from the first entry in 1991.
