Overview of 1980 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster For Sale by Owner

Many enthusiasts consider the 1980s to be a period of peak Mercedes-Benz. The company’s designs were timeless, and build quality was known to be unreproachable, with engineers known to focus on creating the best they could, no holds barred. The third generation SL, otherwise known as the R107, is a quintessential ’80s Mercedes, with its boxy styling and classic interior. The three-pointed star up front proudly represents the storied history of the brand, while the R107 is also the second-longest single series ever produced by Mercedes. Equipped with a 3.8-liter V8 engine, this example of 1980 Mercedes 380SL Roadster has 100,000 lovingly cared-for miles on the odometer and appears to be in immaculate condition. The car is currently in California, and is offered for sale by the original family that owned it.

Exterior and Interior

One look at the 380SL, and you know it’s from the ’80s. The boxy yet aerodynamic lines are true to-type of the design characteristics for a Merc from that era. This example is finished in bright red, showing off those blocky styling cues. The SL comes with a hardtop to either use when the sun is too unbearable or to change up its style, making the SL a car that can be used as more than just a cruiser. Inside, this 1980 Mercedes 380SL Roadster has a period-correct black leather interior, while the current owner reports that the seats have been reupholstered. The interior holds styling nods from other Mercedes-Benz’s from this era. The wood trim and the wool carpet give the interior a touch of luxury. As with most German cars, the plastics are of top quality, with each knob and button holding a specific purpose. An aftermarket stereo system has been fitted to make sure you can enjoy your music with clarity while cruising.

Engine

This 1980 Mercedes 380SL Roadster is equipped with a 3.8L V8, which features mechanical fuel injection, and is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. This engine gives the 380SL 156hp and 266 Nm of torque, which is undoubtedly enough to keep up with modern traffic while offering a laid-back driving experience befitting the car.
