A 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL at this value price already seems quite tempting. But as you dig deeper, you'll discover investments in all the places you want, and all the best features from the day (like the two tops.) So check-out a true classic that really gets it right. Mercedes makes a convertible that instantly commands attention. The crisp lines are a dedication to a thoughtful design and a commitment to solid craftsmanship. That's why they always look good... when owners take the time to care for them correctly. Not only does the fit and finish of this one prove it's a great classic, but also so do the investments. For example, there was a re-application of the factory Anthracite Gray Metallic later in life to keep this looking glossy in the sunshine. And there was even the addition of later Mercedes 15-inch alloys for added distinction. Plus, this has the desirable setup where there's a color-matched hardtop whenever you want to have a coupe-like profile, or the soft top is there for when you get caught out in the rain. This was meant to be open to the word, and the tan interior has a timeless sophistication against the metallic gray exterior. And again, this has the right investments to keep it looking good, including fresh carpeting and new leather seat covers. Even the glossy wood on the center console looks great. It makes for a fine place to eat away the miles effortlessly. It's also comfortable because of the long list of desirable features, including power windows, cruise control, power steering, an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo, and cold-blowing factory air conditioning. The 3.8-liter V8 engine is a torque-filled powerhouse that keeps the 380SL moving with authority. This is believed to be the original engine, and it has been under proper care, including a rebuild within the last few years. What keeps these cars in demand is the way they know how to enjoy the open road. The four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive and fully independent suspension work together to deliver a sharp handler that also is an easy long-distance cruiser. Plus, there have been recent investments in the shocks and four-wheel disc brakes to really keep this one feeling good. The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance records. This has the right care and investments, and it's all offered for a value price. So don't miss this deal, call today!
