It features both soft and removable hard tops, lectric windows, riginal leather seats, pdated CD, 8" chrome alloy after market wheels with good rubber PLUS a set of four factory alloy wheels, riginal top latching key and original owners manual and books.

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this 1983 Benz is in FAIR condition overall. It is close to 100% rust-free with only a few isolated corrosion bubbles on the body. Imperfections include pitting on the original wheels, ry/old/cracked rubber and many paint imperfections including chips, cratches, hecking, lurring and small dents and scrapes. The chrome and trim are in decent condition and appear to be original. The soft top is worn with splitting of the plastic rear window sections and tears on the black canvas top.
THE INTERIOR
The interior of this 380SL is in fair to good quite original condition overall. The windows and stereo work well as do the gas gauge, il pressure and temp gauge, he odometer/speedo is inoperative, he leather seats have wear and tearing, he dash has heat cracks, here is dryness and cracking to the genuine wood trim and the little center dial on one gauge has fallen down...and can't get back up. The a/c is NOT blowing cold currently.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This old Benz starts well though is cold-blooded and stalls and stumbles until warmed. The engine is smooth through the rev range but may be a bit lower than ideal on power [by 10% I estimate]. The transmission up and down shifts fine, he brakes work well with good pedal feel. The steering has definite play and a slight loose clunkiness in the steering column along with a wheel shimmy at highway speeds [after market wheels may need a proper balance].
