Selling 1985 Mercedes Benz convertible
1985 Mercedes Benz 380sl Hard/Soft Top Convertible - $7500 (Plano)
Drive one or two others before you come check this one out so you can truly appreciate this one. Runs and drives like it did when it was new.
139,4XX miles (Less thank 5,000 per year)
Less than 1000 miles since:
Suspension and steering rebuilt.
Timing chain, guides and tensioner replaced.
Interior redone.
New tires.
Cold air conditioner.
Alpine CD Player.
The car is in good mechanical condition, the paint job is about a 7/10, but shines well. The major work including new tires was done in 2013/2014, but the car sat for a couple of months while recovering the seats and the ethanol fuel gummed up the fuel system. (This is a common problem for these cars) I decided to retrofit a carburetor in place of the overly complicated and problematic Bosch fuel injection system and now the car is reliable and robust plus it can be serviced by any competent mechanic.
The removable hard top and original manuals and tool kit are included as well as receipts for the parts that have been replaced. The original fuel injection components are also included.
Clear title in my name and in hand and ready to sign over.
You may have been searching for a 280SL, 300SL, 350SL, 420SL, 450SL or 500SL. This 380 SL is a great car for the summer.
