The Mercedes-Benz SL series has been around since 1954, when the legendary 300SL Gullwing debuted the 'Super Leicht' branding that continues to this day. One of the icons along the way is the R107 generation, which ran from 1971 to 1989. A firm Hollywood favorite, the SL continues to turn heads in 2022. Here's your chance to pick up one of these German beauties; we've got a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Convertible up for sale.
Sporting a cream-white exterior, this 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Convertible beautifully showcases the lines of the R107 that were first penned in 1968. This North American market example is equipped with elongated front and rear bumpers and individual sealed-beam headlamps as mandated by the authorities at the time. Rolling on its original Mercedes-Benz alloys and sporting all badging intact, this specimen is indeed something to behold. The current owner reports that the soft top and hard top are available. This car's tan interior is also said to be original and offers seating for two on leather-trimmed seats. A luggage area sits right behind them to augment the trunk space on offer, and we can see two aftermarket speakers have been installed. They work with the modern Pioneer Mixtrax satellite radio-compatible head unit, which also offers CD, AUX, and USB playback options. Furthermore, the current owner tells us that the air conditioning unit is reportedly new, which is nice to have when driving in warmer climes. Closer inspection of the cabin also reveals a cruise control stalk, leading us to believe that this 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Convertible is equipped as such. As the pinnacle grand tourer from Mercedes-Benz, the usual powered conveniences are on board, as you'd expect, but it's all that you'd need; nothing extra to distract you from the allure of driving.
While the 560SL is the daddy of the R107, lesser powered variants like this 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Convertible can still hold their own. Beneath the hood of this car lies a 3.8L V8 with Bosch fuel injection that put out 155hp at 4,750rpm and 196lb-ft at 2,750rpm when new. Notice that it's not exactly a high-revver? That's because an SL's forte is effortless cruising, helped by the smooth shifting 4G-TRONIC four-speed automatic transmission sending drive to the rear wheels. The current owner reports that the car has received a new timing chain, a critical maintenance activity that's one less worry for the new owner.
Now here’s a lovely cruiser for someone to enjoy, whether they’re sixteen or sixty years old. This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster hails from the hallowed R107 generation of Mercedes-Benz’s SL-Class luxury grand tourer. This generation was made between 1971 and 1989, and of the 300,000 plus cars that were made, over two thirds came to North America. The car was a cult classic with the rich and famous, or even infamous. Now, cars like this are becoming fantastic classics to own and drive, as well as the perfect way to experience a classic Mercedes-Benz drive without giving up too many comfort features. For example, this 91,112-mile machine rocks a 4-speed automatic transmission, which was one of the key upgrades for the 1981 model year. It’s also got a Blaupunkt San Francisco SQR 28 cassette radio player, a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V8, and is up for grabs in Montclair, New Jersey.
There’s an interesting trend taking place in North America, where youngsters are starting to discover the allure of classic cars.

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.
Performance that is subtle is the right type of smiles per gallon. When you are loud and brash, one does expect the performance to back it all up, but if you choose to fly under the radar and still sting when heavy on the gas pedal, smiles per gallon quickly ensue. The S Class has been this silent warrior of performance; it doesn't stop there, as it is also the golden standard of Mercedes luxury as well. Present today is a fine example from the S class family and takes shape with this 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550. With a reported 65,000 miles on its clock, this clean example hails from Canyon Lake, is reported to come with two keys, Texas, and is ready to be the perfect way of getting about in luxury, style and performance.
