About this car
This 1985 380SL is offered on eBay by classicautomall in Morgantown, PA. The asking price is $23,900. The car is finished in Nautical Blue Metallic over Beige, an automatic gearbox, power from a 3.8L Gas V8 engine. The odometer shows 128,100 miles. The seller's description calls the car a 1983 model, although the listing is titled as a 1985. On an R107, check the front subframe mounts and the soft-top well for rust, and on the V8 cars the timing-chain guides.
What the photos show
- Navy paint looks deep and glossy in the studio shots, no repaint needed on what is shown.
- The hardtop is fitted and colour-matched, and the car is also shown top-down, so the roof gear is present.
- The soft top itself is never shown up, so I can't judge its cloth or window.
- Aftermarket chrome wire wheels wear whitewall tires, so budget stock wheels if you want the original look.
- Cream leather seats look clean with light creasing, no need to reupholster.
- Dash and burl wood look rich, but a console close-up shows greenish staining at the wood's lower edge, so budget a console refinish.
- The hood insulation pad is completely rotted and mottled in the engine shot, so budget a new pad — cheap, but it shows heat and age.
- Engine bay otherwise looks tidy, and the gauge photo shows 128,100 miles, which fits the light cabin wear.
- No underside is shown in the sampled photos, so I can't judge rust underneath.
Money: At $23,900 the paint and cabin carry the car, and the spend is small stuff — hood pad, console wood and your choice on the wire wheels.
