Here is the chance to ownTWO Owner (Same Owner since 1989!!!) - 61,900 ORIGINAL and Documented Miles, amazingly kept, 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL!!

Its desirable and extremely elegant Cabernet Red Metallic Paint shines beautifully and Powerful V8 engine with only 61,900 miles purrs and runs strong as ever. It is complimented with very expensive and desirable one-piece EUROPEAN Headlights, and 16 inch Genuine BBS Alloy wheels!!!

This beauty was just inspected and appraised at $22,000!!!!

1985 Being the last production year for the 380SL, it combined all that Mercedes learned about the V-8 R107 chassis cars into a cultural icon that quietly and confidently told the world its occupants had "arrived." Simplicity, superb build quality, and an enduring design are all hallmarks of the Mercedes 380SL. The R107 chassis was one of the longest running production bodies in the Diamler-Benz AG's line, and R107s are extremely well built and collectable. It is also the first V8 powered two-seater to be built at the Stuttgart, Germany factory.

Few vehicles are as distinctive and unique as the 107 chassis Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Although there are other vehicles that are instantly recognizable - the Gullwing Mercedes, the '57 Chevy, and the DeLorean to name a few - there is no other vehicle so classy, yet affordable as a 107 chassis Mercedes-Benz.

Now over 30 years old, 380SL's are attracting new buyers due to its iconic good looks, simplicity, and vault-like build quality.

This Mercedes is very solid and most importantlyRUST FREE(please see pictures!!!).Body is in wonderful condition and it is straight as an arrow!

It was never in an accident, and it has been always garaged in air conditioned garage, pampered and kept away from rain and bad weather, and it truly shows!! It was only driven and enjoyed on sunny and beautiful days!

Experienced car collectors and investors have learned that a solid, sound, original body is the most important aspect of any vintage car! Mechanical rebuilds are straight forward and not costly compared to trying to correct a previously crashed or rusted car.
