Overview of 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL For Sale by Owner

We first knew the Mercedes-Benz 380SL as the 350 SL then the 450 SL. In late 1981, a new 3.8 L light alloy aluminum cylinder V8 arrived along with Mercedes' latest automatic gearbox; hence the 380 SL. Built on the highly regarded and successful R107 chassis, the Mercedes-Benz 380SL expanded on the technological advancements of its earlier models. The SL class featured excellent build quality, a powerful engine, sporty yet comfortable handling, and all the contemporary amenities one would expect from a high-end European vehicle. This well-preserved example of the 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL demonstrates these qualities perfectly. Showing 97,000 miles on its clock, this beauty is available for sale with a correct Classic Silver paint over a striking blue leather interior.

Exterior and Interior

The 380SL was marketed and built as a high-end personal luxury roadster, earning a reputation as a car of great prestige. Its sleek body style is cloaked in a silver exterior paint while a blue convertible top or a body-color matching hard top is available for you to choose. Black bumpers with chrome inserts shield the ends of the car. It rides on 14” wheels that house front and rear disc brakes for reliable stopping power. The interior is wide and is fitted with wonderfully supportive fully adjustable leather bucket seats and there's only a package tray behind them. Honest-to-goodness wood trim decorates this cabin while an automatic climate control system, stereo, a huge non-adjustable steering wheel, and a complete complement of gauges make up the dash. The 380SL was equipped with modern conveniences for its time including power windows. Unlike many convertibles, it also includes a very usable trunk and a full-size spare tire is kept under the cargo floor.

Engine

This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is powered by a 3.8L V8 engine that churns out a respectable 155 BHP (114.08 KW) and 196 Ft-Lbs (266 NM) of torque. It uses a four-speed automatic transmission that offers a driving experience that combines the thrill of a sports car with the comfort and luxury Mercedes-Benz is renowned for. According to sources, the 380 SL does an impressive 17 MPG in city driving and 22 MPG on the highway.
