| Condition | The very first SL was a racing car until the US importer Max Hoffman requested a street version to sell here in the US. The SL was born in 1954 and the line has been going strong since. SL or "Sport Light" was a grand touring car that made a big first impression on wealthy auto enthusiasts post WWII. The third generation of the SL or the R107 as it was internally known as was built and sold for nearly twenty years, from 1971 through 1989 both in a coupe and convertible variant. |

About this car
This 1983 380SL is offered on eBay by grautogallery in Traverse City, MI. The asking price is $29,900. The car is finished in Manganese Brown Metallic over Espresso Brown, an automatic gearbox, power from a 3.8L Gas V8 engine. The odometer shows 45,153 miles. The eBay title does not name the model; the car's VIN identifies it as a 380SL. 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
- This is the same brown 1983 380SL, in the same GR Auto Gallery showroom, as the dealer's own listing in this collection, so it is one car offered in two places, not two cars.
- Brown metallic paint is deep and glossy on every panel with no damage showing, so no paint money here.
- Chrome and black bumpers look straight and clean, so no bumper spend shows.
- Matching hardtop is shown fitted and looks clean, so that top is included value.
- Brown soft top looks clean and taut with clear windows in these photos, so no top replacement cost shows.
- Brown leather seats seen through the windows look smooth and unmarked, so no reupholstery cost shows.
- Bundt alloy wheels are bright and the tires look fresh, so no wheel or tire spend shows.
- Photos of the books show the owner's manual, maintenance booklet, original window sticker and a stack of service records, so the paperwork adds value rather than costing money.
- No engine bay photos in the sampled set, so engine condition can't be judged from these photos.
- No underside or trunk photos in the sampled set, so underside and trunk condition can't be judged.
Money: at $29,900 it is the same turn-key car as the GR Auto Gallery listing at the same price — buy it once, through whichever channel is cheaper on fees, and value the books and records that come with it.
