1982 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. Unfortunately, US regulations mandated big bumpers, low power headlights, and emission choked engines. 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.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this excellent 1982 380SL for your consideration. Finished in Silver Blue Metallic, this is a stunning car. The paintwork is very nice overall and shows well. A blue pinstripe has a bit of fading. The chrome trim is excellent and shiny, and the black rubber trim hasn't faded like it usually does. Having been with the same owner since 1986, this example has been very well cared for and is in 100% original condition. The blue leather interior is in good shape, but shows some wear on the driver and passenger seat. No rips or stains, but some fading and creasing on the bolsters. The padding and cushioning is good however. Everything appears to be working including the original Becker Grand Prix stereo, power windows, and an air conditioning system that feels like it is blowing cold.

Factory 14in “Bundt Cake” alloy wheels are in great shape and are mounted on Michelin tires with great tread. Equipped with a great soft top and factory hard top, this car is well equipped. It has two sets of keys and is ready to cruise.
