This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is finished in Manganese Brown Metallic over Dark Brown leather upholstery and is powered by a 3.8-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a brown soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, eight-hole wheels, quad headlights, air conditioning, a Kenwood head unit, and aftermarket speakers. The car was acquired by the selling dealer in 2023 and shows 140k miles. This R107 is now offered in Florida at no reserve with a hardtop stand and a clean Illinois title.
The car was finished from the factory in Manganese Brown Metallic and has received a repaint. Exterior features include a brown convertible soft top that is said to have been replaced in addition to a body-color hardtop, quad headlights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim. The Carfax report notes “minor to moderate damage” to the front, left front, left side, and undercarriage in both October 2018 and April 2019 entries.
The eight-hole wheels were sourced from a later-model vehicle and are mounted with Sumitomo HTR Enhance tires. The car was factory equipped with power steering, a fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.
The two bucket seats are upholstered in Dark Brown leather, and interior amenities include air conditioning, power windows, a Kenwood head unit, and aftermarket speakers. The wood trim on the center console is cracked.
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 140k miles.
The 3.8-liter V8 was factory rated at 155 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
The Carfax report lists the aforementioned damages.
