1983 Mercedes-Benz Metallic Diamond Blue Metallic Convertible Hardtop Roadster - 170,500 miles RESTORED 2018-2019 - see below Hardtop color matches the body color; the convertible top is dark blue canvas, matching the dark blue interior. The original 3.8 liter fuel-injected V-8 engine is very responsive and the air-conditioning is very cold and is sure to please! This car has been very well taken care of and never smoked-in.

The first thing I did to this car when I purchased it in 1991 was to have the timing gears and chain upgraded/modified from the single gears and chains (which later caused head failures) to the dual gears and chain which wer
