What the photos show
- Red paint is glossy and even with straight panels, no paint work needed
- Chrome grille and bumpers shine clean, no re-chrome spend needed
- Brown soft top fits tight with a clear rear window, and the matching red hardtop is included on its stand, no top spend needed
- Cream seats and rear jump seats look clean with no tears showing, no need to reupholster
- Cream door cards and carpets look tidy, no interior trim spend needed
- Tool roll and car cover are shown with the car, a small value plus at no extra cost
- Engine bay looks complete and tidy from the open-hood photos, though no close-up is sampled, budget a check rather than repairs
- Bundt alloy wheels are clean and tires show good tread, no tire spend right away
- The gallery tail repeats the same front three-quarter angle four times, so it is padded, judge the car on the earlier photos
- No underside photo is shown in the sampled photos, can't judge underside rust
Money: At $27,000 the glossy red paint, both tops and clean cream interior support the price for a 380SL, with only an underside check left before paying.
