Listing Description

1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Coupe/Roadster For SaleThe SL Model Was A 2-seat Convertible/Roadster Supplied With A Standard Soft Top And A Removable Hardtop. The 380SL (R107 In Mercedes-speak) Took The Chassis Components Of The Mid-Size Mercedes-Benz W114 Model And Installed The Larger Engines From The Top-of-the-line S-Class (W116), Which Produced Excellent Performance. The V8 Engines Were Re-tuned For Greater Efficiency And Consumed Less Fuel. The U.S. R107 Sported Quad Headlights And Front And Rear Safety Bumpers.The 380SL Most Closely Resembles The Original Concept Of The R107 Introduced In 1972 In Terms Of Engine Size And Weight, And Many Consider The 380SL The Best-balanced Model In The 17-year Model Run. It Benefits From The Several Significant Improvements Engineered Along The Way: Fuel Injection, 4-speed Transmission, Climate Control System, Higher Axle Ratios, Etc. A Major Modification In 1984 Was A Dual Timing Chain, Making The Later Years (84-85) The Most Desirable Examples Of The 380SL Run. This Particular Example Is In Rust-free, Excellent Condition And With Very Low Mileage For Its Age. It Is Finished In Classic White (Code 137) With Navy Blue Leather Interior. Its Brand New Soft-Top Is Deluxe Hartz Cloth As Furnished By The Factory, And There's A Removable Matching (White) Hardtop In As-new Condition Along With Accessory Stand On Rollers For Easy Storage.The Navy Blue Leather Interior Is In Very Good, Original Condition. All Lights And Accessories Work: Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Heater, Power Mirrors, Etc. The Stereo Has Been Upgraded To A Easy-to-use JVC AM/FM/CD Unit Without Modifying The Dash.All In All, This Is An Excellent Example Of A Mercedes Model That Has Begun To Appreciate (As Recently Written Up By Hemmings Motor News And Haggerty), As The Newer SLs (Post 1989) Have Been Relegated To Mere Used Cars, And The Previous SLs Are Reaching Or Exceeding Six Figures In Value. The 380SL Is The Ideal Summer/Winter Classic Car For The East End. It Can Be Used Comfortably All Year Round With Its Two Tops, And Driven Confidently Anywhere Due To Its Legendary Mercedes Build Quality.
