Based on the immensely successful 'R107' SL launched in 1971, the Mercedes-Benz 380SL succeeded the 450SL/450SLC in 1981 for North America. Powered by a 3.8-liter V-8 engine equipped with single overhead camshafts per cylinder bank and Bosch fuel injection, the 380SL was re-equipped by September 1981 with a new all-aluminum small-bore, long-stroke engine of equal displacement, delivering significantly improved fuel economy with only a slight reduction in power. High-speed performance was upheld with a numerically-lower final-drive ratio. Produced through 1985, the 380SL garnered positive, even glowing, road-test reviews throughout its production run. Quite popular with the wealthiest and most demanding buyers, the 380SL was a virtual fixture on the top-rated TV shows and movies of the era.

This 1982 Mercedez-Benz 380SL roadster is resplendent in Astral Silver Metallic with a Black leather interior featuring custom-made sheepskin seat covers. Both a Black soft top and body-color auxiliary hardtop are included. Power is delivered by a fuel-injected 3.8-liter V-8 engine, upgraded for compatibility with ethanol-type fuels, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Features and options include cruise control, power steering and brakes, central locking, electric windows and tinted glass, plus Michelin radial tires and OEM light-alloy wheels. The removable hardtop includes a rear-window defroster. Other highlights include an AM/FM cassette stereo, height-adjustable antenna, 2-speed windshield wipers with 5-second interval mist control, a tachometer, Quartz chronometer, a folding center armrest, front headrests, and adjustable front bucket seats. Exterior features include a driver's side mirror, halogen headlights and fog lamps. The trunk is carpeted in Slate Gray velour, color-coordinated with the interior carpeting. A tool kit and documentation accompanies this outstanding 380SL, including the original window sticker showing a total delivered price of $42,912 new. Exhaustive service history is also included.

At the October 2008 AACA Eastern Fall Meet in Hershey, PA, this Mercedes received a National Third Junior Award, followed up in 2009 with the AACA National First Junior Award.

As-Is:

The Last Detail has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability, however, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and recommend that the buyer inspect and test drive the vehicle before finalizing their purchase. The Last Detail shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle at the buyer’s request prior to close of sale. No allowances or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely. It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Any and all differences must be addressed prior to the time of sale. The Last Detail assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle. Despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or a previous owner’s diligence in care of said vehicle. There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied. We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or issues to said vehicle once it has left our premises. We are being realistic; most of the cars we sell are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later. Therefore, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”. However, extended warranty options are available on most vehicles. Please inquire if you are interested.

Mileage:

Vintage cars in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. The Last Detail makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown and accepts no responsibility for any discrepancy with independent reports such as CarFax, Autocheck, etc. Unless the vehicle is advertised as an original mileage car, do not assume that the mileage/odometer reading is the actual mileage. It is simply what the odometer is reading at the time pictures are taken. MILEAGE IS NOT ACTUAL UNLESS STATED SO IN THE DESCRIPTION! Vehicles are test driven and mileage may vary at time of sale.
