This week, Canyon State Classics brings to market a 1982 Mercedes 380SL in Anthracite Grey over Grey leather. This car has been owned locally in AZ for well over the last decade. The owners spent a lot of time and money ensuring that this car was well maintained. Many of the typical 380-series issues have been addressed already so you dont have to, including a new double row timing chain. All service has been fully documented at the same shop and will be included with the car. R107's have been climbing steadily and the 380 series is a great entry point. Dont miss out on a chance to own this one before prices for well kept examples take off!

The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is totally rust free solid. The car is riding on original wheels and performance radials. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in great shape. The black soft top is Like New, and has only been on the car for a couple years. The dark grey hard top has good seals and the headliner is in awesome shape.

The interior is in great shape all around. The seats are all in very good condition and shows minor wear on the lower portion pleating. This is an MB Tex Vinyl interior car and is in overall good condition. The dash has some cracks and is capped and the door panels and console are in great shape.

The sound system is the original Becker radio and it still operates! The trunk is clean and complete with correct mat, original jack. original tools, and original spare tire and wheel.
