About this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

VIN: WDBBA45C9FA019101

Details

This very original, low-mileage 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is in fine condition with 60,383 miles on the odometer. The current owner states that the car was purchased from the original owner about six months ago. This remarkable example still wears its original cream-colored paint over beige leather upholstery.

Powering this 380SL convertible is a 3.8-liter V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the rear wheels. The plush interior features a walnut-colored trim on the dash and center console where the climate controls are found. In addition to a removable hardtop, the exterior features 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels.

The car remains unmodified and has an accident-free CarFax report. Recent service to the vehicle includes an air conditioning conversion to R134 and an oil change and tune-up. The photos attest to the exceptional condition of this Mercedes, but buyers are also invited to have their own inspections completed.

Included in the sale of the car are two sets of keys, an owners manual, and extensive service records.

This Mercedes-Benz 380SL is a Premium listing being sold by Phil McNamee in Bellingham, WA.

About the model

The Mercedes-Benz 380SL was a variant of the R107 SL-Class that was introduced for the 1980 model year. The 380SL was powered by a 3.8L V8 engine that generated 215hp and sent this drive to the rear wheels via automatic transmission. The SLC version was available in 1981 and featured a wheelbase 14 longer than the SL, affording additional room for rear-seat passengers. Production of the 380SL lasted until 1986 when the model series was discontinued.
