Mercedes Benz 1983 380SL 2-door coupe roadster silver blue excellent

1983 Mercedes-Benz 300-Series

My son and his fiance drove this away on their wedding day this year, see photo. Then they flew down the freeway with the top down at 70 miles per hour for about 20 miles and the brides hair did not get messed up because of the great airflow diversion trait these cars have.

This has been in West of USA it's whole life. Very original. Some minor dings and scratches.

Runs out very well, smooth, no smoke, starts right up even after sitting for months. Shifts smooth but needs some adjustment.

Automatic transmission. Brakes work well. Clean Oregon title good until 2018. Soft top has some wear and a small hole in each side window, see photos. Original hardtop was not used much, very nice condition. Hard top (very heavy) has the original pulley system with small block and tackle to allow one person to lift the top while in the garage, then you tie it off to the cleat.

Floor panels solid. Only rust is a small bubble on the left rear of the trunk lid. Chrome wheels have typical corrosion from years of age. Spare wheel is not chrome and appears unused. Tires matching and in good shape. Lights work except for a couple interior. Glass is in great shape. Some of the window rubber shows minimal ageing. Carpets are in great shape. The dash appears to have an aftermarket cover on it which is something I'm not familiar with, but it looks good. Release mechanisms for the hood and hard-top work well. Doors open and close properly. Electric door windows roll up and down properly. Electric mirror on passenger side does not function. Aftermarket radio/CD works somewhat. The finish on some of the console wood is cracked from age. Glove box is nice. Front right turn signal lens is broken. Has original owner's manual. Driver's door pouch is off the car but comes with the car as does the drivers visor.

Original tool bag and most tools (see photos), very clean trunk, original jack. Engine compartment is clean and looks to have all OEM components. Misc other parts and pieces come with the car.
