This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is finished in Signal Red over Palomino leather and is powered by a 3.8-liter M116 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a removable body-color hardtop, a black soft top, 14″ forged alloy wheels, anti-lock disc brakes, power windows, cruise control, and a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo. The car was originally delivered to Haun Motors of Bluefield, West Virginia, and later spent time in Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida before the seller acquired it in early 2021. Subsequent service included replacement of the timing chain, guide rails, and tensioner as well as the radiator, accessory belts, shift linkage bushings, and valve cover gaskets.
The body is finished in Signal Red (568) and features a matching removable hardtop with a heated glass rear window. Additional equipment includes chrome bumpers and trim, fog lights, and a power antenna.
Forged alloy 14″ Bundt wheels are wrapped in 205/70 Michelin all-season tires, and a full-sized spare wheel and Michelin tire are mounted in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes. A brake booster vacuum hose was replaced in March 2021.
The cabin features seating upholstered in Palomino leather (274) accompanied by a matching lower dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Equipment includes burl wood veneer accents, cruise control, a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo, central locking, and power windows. The shift linkage bushings were replaced in April 2021.
The four-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 59k miles.
The 3.8-liter M116 V8 features Bosch fuel injection and was rated at 155 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque when new. Work performed during current ownership includes an oil change, cleaning the idle control valve, and replacement of the timing chain, tensioner, sprocket, and guides as well as the radiator, accessory belts, and valve cover gaskets.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
Original sales paperwork, manufacturer’s literature, a Becker cassette tape, tool roll, and service records are included in the sale. The window sticker also accompanies the car and shows factory colors, equipment, and a Total Suggested Retail Price of $45,273.
