1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

The Mercedes-Benz SL series started out as the top of the line sports luxury tourer that offered both performance and comfort. The third generation SL was called the R107 chassis and is one of the most recognizable Mercedes of all time. Produced from 1971 all the way to 1989, the R107 lived a long and cherished life. The United States was an extremely popular market for the personal luxury coupe and almost ⅔ of all SL's were sold here. While not as quick or pretty as their European cousins, the US market SL's still represented the cream of the personal luxury car crop. The 380SL was a mid range model that offered an excellent blend of both efficiency and V8 performance.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this nice Signal Red 380SL for your consideration. Having been with the same owner for the last 10 years, this SL has been well taken care of. The car is said to have been repainted years ago in the same color and the paint and body are both in very nice shape. The black soft top is in brand new and the factory hard top is in good shape as is the chrome and rubber trim. The interior is nice and features seats that appear to have been re-upholstered in a slightly different material. They have very little wear and are a comfortable place to sit. The rest of the interior is pretty nice but the wood trim around the shifter surround has cracks. The car is well equipped with power locks, power windows, power antenna, aftermarket Alpine stereo, power passenger mirror, and climate control.

This car is a solid runner and drives very well. It is not a show quality car, but a reliable driver that could be driven year round if desired. The market for classic Mercedes is rising and now is your chance to get in the market for cheap! This car even has the original owners manual.
