1985 Mercedes Benz 380SL, 3.8L OHC V8, 4 Speed Automatic Transmission. Both Hard and Soft Tops

This 1985 Mercedez-Benz 380SL shows 125k miles and is powered by a 3.8-liter OHC V8 paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Made in Stuttgart. The car remained with its original owner until six months ago. After sitting idle for nine years, it was returned to road worthiness and has been driven 2k miles since. In preparation for the auction, new spark plugs and a fuel filter were installed, and the fuel system was flushed. This R107 is now being offered a matching gold hardtop (rear glass has a crack), and a clean Texas title. Champagne Metallic is the original shade according to the data tag, the car has been garage-stored throughout its life. Rubber bumper caps show some scratches, and the driver-side rear fender shows signs of possible repainting. Some bubbling is visible just aft of the driver’s front wheel arch, and the color-matched hardtop has a tinted rear window (with crack). The black soft top is a newer replacement, and it shows clear rear windows. Bundt alloys appear to be in good shape.
