Overview of 1982 Mercedes-Benz 380SL For Sale by Owner

Nothing says “old money” like an 80s Mercedes convertible. This fine example is a testament to that statement. The R107 SL Class was in production for nearly 2 decades between 1971 and 1989 (reportedly selling an incredible 300,000 units), and the 380SL was made in the early 80s. In the US market, it replaced the 450SL and was succeeded by the 560SL. It was essentially a 2-seater convertible version of the S Class, providing a delightful combination of driving pleasure and luxury. The S Class frequently gets credit for being the world leader in technological innovation, but few know that the SL was also a very influential model; inertia-reel seatbelts, though now standard on every car, were developed for and debuted in the R107 SL, with its comfort and safety advantages making it an industry trend quickly. Being an 80s Mercedes, the most important thing about this car is the unbeatable quality of engineering.

Exterior and Interior

The black exterior of this car helps it maintain its elegance and subtlety, living up to its image of quiet luxury. It also makes the large US bumpers less conspicuous. The 2-color wire-like wheels contrast with the paintwork without standing out too much. Design cues like the “wraparound” headlight and taillight units make it look very futuristic by 1970s standards and are probably the reason Mercedes was able to sell this model 18 years. Like most convertibles, it looks best when the roof (also black like the body) is down. This also gives the public a chance to appreciate the exquisite beige interior. Wood trim is also abundant, a clear indicator of classic luxury. Instead of rear seats, the area behind the front seats contains 2 speakers and a First Aid kit.

Engine

The 380SL, as the name suggests, has a 3.8L V8 (with an automatic transmission – the number of gears is not specified by the seller but 380SL usually had a 4-speed). The M116 engine reportedly came with Bosch Jetronic fuel injection. The seller hasn’t stated the specifics of the brake system in this car, but ABS brakes were an option on the R107 from 1980 onwards.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG P31 comes from an era when AMG was still willing to put a huge naturally aspirated V8 into a compact luxury sedan, and that formula is exactly why the W204 C 63 has become such an enthusiast favorite.

Showing approximately 115,211 miles, this is the kind of C 63 that appeals to buyers who want the old-school AMG experience: big-displacement V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis with plenty of attitude.
