Powered by a 3.
8-liter V-8 engine equipped with single overhead camshafts per cylinder bank and Bosch fuel injection, the 380SL was re-equipped by September 1981 with a new all-aluminum small-bore, long-stroke engine of equal displacement, delivering significantly improved fuel economy with only a slight reduction in power.
High-speed performance was upheld with a numerically-lower final-drive ratio.
Produced through 1985, the 380SL garnered positive, even glowing, road-test reviews throughout its production run.
Quite popular with the wealthiest and most demanding buyers, the 380SL was a virtual fixture on the top-rated TV shows and movies of the era.
This 1982 Mercedez-Benz 380SL roadster is resplendent in Astral Silver Metallic with a Black leather interior featuring custom-made sheepskin seat covers.
Both a Black soft top and body-color auxiliary hardtop are included.
Power is delivered by a fuel-injected 3.
8-liter V-8 engine, upgraded for compatibility with ethanol-type fuels, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Features and options include cruise control, power steering and brakes, central locking, electric windows and tinted glass, plus Michelin radial tires and OEM light-alloy wheels.
The removable hardtop includes a rear-window defroster.
Other highlights include an AM/FM cassette stereo, height-adjustable antenna, 2-speed windshield wipers with 5-second interval mist control, a tachometer, Quartz chronometer, a folding center armrest, front headrests, and adjustable front bucket seats.
Exterior features include a driver's side mirror, halogen headlights and fog lamps.
The trunk is carpeted in Slate Gray velour, color-coordinated with the interior carpeting.
A tool kit and documentation accompanies this outstanding 380SL, including the original window sticker showing a total delivered price of $42,912 new.
Exhaustive service history is also included.
At the October 2008 AACA Eastern Fall Meet in Hershey, PA, this Mercedes received a National Third Junior Award, followed up in 2009 with the AACA National First Junior Award.
