Convertible Roadster

Priced Right

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tire tread shows as fair, bumper guards are in good shape

 

 

 

This front-end would look much better if were clean

Under-carriage area shows fairly well

 

 

Lines are straight for hood/fender

 

The exterior trim is also pretty good condition. The chrome on the front and rear bumpers is shiny and straight. They fit with no unusual gaps or misalignment.

The other exterior trim is also in decent shape but the plastic around the headlights shows some wear. The glass on the car is free from cracks, or damage. The power windows are fully functional. The front windshield is free from any cracks, "stars" or any damage. The car has the original style Mercedes windshield wiper arms and 100% functional. A couple of small rust bubbles inside the door jambs, but overall jambs are solid.

 

Plastic around headlamps shows some wear here also

 

 

Close-up of the tire tread

 

 

The doors, hood, and trunk line up extremely well, with even gaps, and close easily and securely. The doors do not sag, and the hinges are solid and rust free. The undersides of the hood and trunk are free from rust, and in good condition. The engine has not been cleaned up for the photographs, and you can see pine needles, and some cob webs indicating that the car has not been used, and stored outdoors under a carport.

This car should be at your home, not a wasp's home

 

 

 

Here's a look inside this Mercedes, allot of potential here

A little TLC is required here, and on the back bench seat

 

 

Peak at the motor components

 

 

 

The 380 SL was built from about 1981 to 1985. The 380 SL was the least powerful of the US imported R107 roadsters. Some of these cars also had a single timing chain which had to be serviced or replaced with a double chain to avoid serious engine problems. The 380 SL in this ad has indeed had the double timing chain installed to prevent any problems.

 

 

 

Under the grill

Replacement fan from another Mercedes, shows made in Germany

 

Radiator in good shape

 

Plastic boot goes up to hide the top

 

 

Too much sun can cause wrinkles, even on these leather seats

 

Here is under dash view of parking brake, and hood release on left wall

 

Carpets should clean up fairly well
