1985 Mercedes Benz SL380 Convertible with Soft top and Hard Top. I bought this fantastic car for my wife to drive but she prefers the new car.I just had it painted with Automotive Collision in Philadelphia at a cost of $8,500.No evidence of rust was found on the car nor did it look like it was ever in a wreck, In fact the body was very straight,only the clear of the original paint had faded from age.They did a great job the car presents itself extremely well. No orange peel, and very very glossy paint.The interior is Original , detailed and shows very well, a couple of cracks on the driver seat were repaired.The Soft top is very nice installed by the PO, two years ago. (He paid $1500)The motor was just serviced, new oils filters etc. ($450)The Brakes are new all around, ($850)The exhaust is new from headers back. ($525)Everything works on this car as it should including the Air Conditioning, except the odometer which is inoperable.The car drives like a low mile car; the suspension is extremely tight, it does not shake or rattle even going through pot holes, it is truly a great driver.You don't come around a great looking, and driving old Classic like this often.No room in the garage so it must go. Anyone interested please email with your phone number to make an appointment to look at the car.I have a day job so please be patient. The car starts right up all the time every time. It idles smooth and at 650 rpm all the time. It sounds fantastic; and is a absolute joy to drive. The fantastic V8 in this car makes it surprisingly fast and agile!! Solid, confident, and gorgeous. This SL is a sporty classic that can be driven every day in comfort and Style. This car is a people magnet. Everywhere you go, people will comment on the car.
