YES I KNOW ITS NOT A 1980 BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH STAYING INSIDE EBAYS LINES YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO. THE CAR IS AN 83 HOWEVER THE VIN IS NOT IN EBAYS SYSTEM, I JUST LISTED AN 85 300SD AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE VIN IS IN CA DMV SYSTEM SO GOD KNOWS WHY EBAY IS A PROBLEM CHILD. HERE IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA 380SL WITH NO RUST AND IN VERY SOLID CONDITION. THE BODY IS UNDAMAGED EXCEPT FOR A SMALL DENT BELOW THE DRIVERS DOOR MIRROR EVERYTHING IS PRESENT EXCEPT THE HARD TOP BUT THE CONVERTIBLE IS THERE. THE INTERIOR LEATHER AND RUGS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION OVERALL THE CAR IS PRESENTABLE WE HAD THE ENGINE COMPLETELY REBUILT ABOUT A YEAR AGO WITH THE INTENTION OF USING THE CAR BUT OTHER ISSUES ARE RUNNING MY LIFE AT THE MOMENT. THIS CAR WILL NEED TO HAVE THE FUEL DISTRIBUTOR REPLACED AS THE CURRENT ONE LEAKS, OTHER THAN THAT THE MOTOR IS STRONG ALREADY REBUILT. THIS COULD BE AN EASY PROJECT FOR SOMEONE LOOKING INTO GETTING AN SL FOR NOT A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY.

WE WILL TRY TO RINSE HER OFF AND TAKE MORE PHOTOS SO THE FINISH OF THE PAINT SHOWS BETTER. THERE IS SOME CLEARCOAT PEELING ON THE RIGHT REAR AND ON THE DRIVERS DOOR BUT OTHERWISE ITS LARGELY ORIGINAL. On Jun-13-14 at 23:22:15 PDT, seller added the following information: IM ABOUT TO BUY ANOTHER FUEL DISTRIBUTOR AND HAVE IT INSTALLED,Pending this happening the car will be listed for sale locally, we reserve the rightTo sell it locally and end this auction early If you have any questions regarding the car feel freeTo email me through ebay and I will reply As is the car runs ad drives however the fuel distributorEither needs to be rebuilt or replaced as itIs not functioning correctly On Jun-14-14 at 16:10:15 PDT, seller added the following information: SOME MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE MERCEDES IT HAS 4 GOOD TIRES 3 OF THE BUNDT RIMS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION I USED THE CAR PRIOR TO HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT AND SHE HAS GOOD ROAD MANNERS GOOD SHOCKS AND STEERS WITHOUT WANDERING. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND IT RIDES NICELY. THIS WAS NOT SOME CAR I BOUGHT RANDOMLY AND DECIDED TO FIX, IT WAS MY CAR PRIOR TO HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT. IF THE CAR DOES NOT BID ACCORDINGLY I AM GOING TO PUT IT BACK IN STORAGE. On Jun-17-14 at 16:24:48 PDT, seller added the following information: ***NEWSFLASH*** AFTER WATCHING SLOW BIDDING I DECIDED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER FUEL DISTRIBUTOR AND HAVE IT INSTALLED. SO NOW THAT THE ENGINE IS FULLY OPERATIONAL AND THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY IT ISN'T CONSIDERED A PROJECT ANY LONGER. THE CAR IS GOING TO BE FOR SALE LOCALLY AND I WILL ACCEPT BEST AND FINAL OFFERS VIA EBAY STARTING NOW.
