Description of 1985 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL

1985 Mercedes 380SL, 111,000 Miles, $8250 Best offer.
Clean, original, unmolested car: I purchased this car from what was believed to be the 3rd owner, a business executive from Florida. From the records that came with the car, it has been a southern car its entire life. I was given a large binder of repair history that starts out with a copy of the original window sticker and maintenance receipts form NEW forward to the present. Looking through the receipts it is easy to see that money spent on the car was no object to the owners. The car has always been looked after by professional Mercedes mechanics, and appears to have been garaged and well cared for its entire life. Some of the latest investment in the car are its new professionally installed German soft top. All Fluids have been changed (brake, antifreeze, transmission, and differential). Idles smooth, accelerates without hesitation, shifting automatically with ease through every gear. It has 4 new tires, new battery, brakes and rotors on all 4 corners. This 380SL came from the factory with the duel row timing chain that the earlier 380slâ€™s did not have. This beautiful 380SL has current NJ historic registration and clean NJ title in my name.
The paint and body show very well shiny and clean; however, the paint is beginning to show its age. It looks great, but in some sections the clear cost is beginning to fade and blemish (lifting on the top of the DS fender an a section by the tonneau cover for example) as shown in the pictures. Which i was told can be corrected. There is no rust or dents on the car, no signs of previous body damage. The exterior color is Signal Red with a light Palomino/Saddle interior. The interior is in great shape (NO rips or stains), as is all the trim, wood and carpets. The Heat and A/C work very well, as do all the mechanicals on the car. The sound system is the original Becker radio and it works perfectly as it was rebuilt by Becker in 2018, but the digital display is flakey sometimes showing the correct station and sometimes not having all the numbers present. The Hershman antenna is brand new and works perfectly. The trunk is equally clean; no blemishes on the carpets or the trim, no stains or smells. The spare tire (original Continental; NEVER used) is in the trunk with the jack. Car also has the original color matching hardtop in good shape. Car has all the original ownerâ€™s manual, Dealer materials, and hang tags (including full binder of almost EVERY receipt from new) first aid kit and original German tool kit!
NOTE: I have attempted to describe the car to the best of my ability, it is strongly recommended that you inspect the car in person or ask any questions BEFORE you purchase, as I don't want to hear any complaints because you did not do your due diligence prior to purchasing! The car is being sold with no warranty, as is where is. Thx. Asking price is $9,775. Well Worth it, moving and need to free up space. Call 908 759 5651.
