Car description

This 1985 Mercedez-Benz 380SL shows 125k miles and is powered by a 3.8-liter OHC V8 paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Made in Stuttgart. The car remained with its original owner until six months ago. After sitting idle for nine years, it was returned to road worthiness and has been driven 2k miles since. In preparation for the auction, new spark plugs and a fuel filter were installed, and the fuel system was flushed. This R107 is now being offered a matching gold hardtop (rear glass has a crack), and a clean Texas title. Champagne Metallic is the original shade according to the data tag, the car has been garage-stored throughout its life. Rubber bumper caps show some scratches, and the driver-side rear fender shows signs of possible repainting. Some bubbling is visible just aft of the driver’s front wheel arch, and the color-matched hardtop has a tinted rear window (with crack). The black soft top is a newer replacement, and it shows clear rear windows. Bundt alloys appear to be in good shape. Saffron MB-Tex upholstery is said to be free of rips and tears, though some fading and discoloration can be seen on the fabric, wood veneers, and carpeting. Power windows, mirrors, and all other accessories and equipment are described as fully operational, and anti-lock braking is equipped. A Kenwood cassette player replaces the factory radio. The A/C stopped working. 125,883 miles are shown on the odometer. The 3.8-liter overhead-cam V8 was rated at 155 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque for the US market when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission. The car has received a mechanical inspection, the spark plugs and fuel filter were replaced, and the fuel system was flushed. The following options and equipment are indicated on the under-hood data plate seen above. • 174 – Saffron MB-Tex interior • 440 – Rubber bumper guards • 470 – Anti-lock braking • 491 – US-spec • 504 – Passenger-side power mirror • 519 – Becker Gran Prix cassette radio • 531 – Power antenna • 587 – Folding front armrest.
