Overview of 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster For Sale by Owner

The R107 SL series built by Mercedes-Benz is becoming a future collectible and for a good reason. The first word that comes to mind when looking at a Mercedes-Benz vehicle from this era is elegance. These cars were produced from 1971 until 1989, marking the second longest single series ever created by the German company. The roadsters of the R107 and C107 were the best top-down open-air motoring experiences money could buy at the time. That is why this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster with the R107 chassis is a desirable option for someone who’s looking to buy a classic that combines quality, performance, and style. This example just bears 31,600 miles on its clock and is available for sale in New Mexico.

Exterior and Interior

Apart from the beautifully sketched long body style, this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL Roadster looks subtle with its Nebula Gray Pearl exterior. Its current owner claims that it was repainted in 2020 to reflect its spectacular state at the time. Both hardtop and soft-top are offered with the sale, though the hard top stand is not available. The original wheels do an excellent job at keeping this car period correct. During the ‘80s Mercedes moved on from the chrome bumpers. But there is still bright work including the grille, side body trim, and window frames. Inside, the gray leather seats provide a lovely visual blend with the exterior while offering space and comfort to you and your passenger. Behind the seats is a small area where you can keep your belongings if the trunk is already full. You are getting two keys with this car and it retains the original first aid kit. The owner has added an aftermarket CD radio for your entertainment as well.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
