Re: 1982 380SL QUESTION

I would recommend that you take the car to a mechanic for a good look before purchasing the car. I would try the Kelly Blue Book site to obtain a value for the car, www.kbb.com. There was an article a while back in Road and Track that wrote about the SL and their preference on which years to buy first. Here's a link to that article. http://fly.hiwaay.net/~gbf/107/rt.html<br>Just make sure the person really has documentation that the double timing chain was installed. If not, the article in Road and Track will tell you why. In regards to the plastic rear window, I assume that any convertible top company could repair or replace the window. Check the Yellow Pages. Hope this helps.<p>
