About this car
Hemmings listing in Chicago, IL — a 1983 380SL offered through Hemmings classifieds. The harvest captured no condition description for this car, so judge it from the full photo gallery on its Hemmings page and verify specification, condition, and history with the seller before travelling.
What the photos show
- Dark blue paint looks glossy and straight in the warehouse shots, though the car is dusty from storage, budget a full detail before judging the finish.
- European-style single headlights are fitted instead of the US quad lamps, so check lighting compliance and wiring if originality matters to you.
- Chrome bumpers and trim look bright in the low light, no chrome bill visible on what is shown.
- Hardtop is fitted in all three photos and the paint match looks even, no top paint work needed.
- Soft top is never shown, so I can't judge the top fabric or rear window from these photos.
- Tan seats are only visible through the glass and look clean and untorn, so I can't judge cracking or wear up close from these photos.
- Dash is only glimpsed through the windshield, so I can't judge dash cracks or wood condition from these photos.
- Bundt wheels look clean and tires hold shape in storage, but I can't judge tread or age from these photos, budget a tire check.
- Engine bay is not shown in the photos, so I can't judge the engine or bay condition.
- Underside is not shown in the photos, so I can't judge rust or leaks underneath.
Money: At $18,800 the glossy blue paint and hardtop look promising, but three warehouse photos leave the soft top, engine and underside completely unseen — the price needs an in-person inspection behind it.
