First comes the story, I was sitting in 5 o'clock traffic headed home and was bored so used my phone to get on craigslist and see whats been posted since I last checked. Well, 2hrs before I bought it a 1983 380SL was posted with no pics and just a number for an incredible price. I called, did a uturn and headed across town to look at it. I drove into the sketchy part of town and went to the address and bam hiding behind the house there it was.
Now the car, It is Black on Palomino with some 16inch weave wheels, zender sideskirts and rear spoiler, Amg front spoiler, euro headlights and taillights. a very nice set of European bumpers and to top it all off a new top and AMG steering wheel. Oh and a rear jump seat, but who wants that.
The car does run and I drove it home it was loud as crap because someone cross threaded number one cylinder spark plug and it wouldn't hold a plug. I drove it home on 7 cylinders and got some crazy looks but it was dark and I didn't care. It has 74k miles on the car, I cannot figure out what type of motor it is exactly. It has one plate on the entire car that identifies the vin and it is the importation sticker for Tennessee. Now behind the jack in the trunk is the code list for the car and it is the same vin except one digit is changed from a 4 to a 5. Anyways I will get the engine number in the next couple days to figure it out. I talked to someone else about it and the best thing that we can think of is that it is a converted euro 380 because it is a 107045.
Let me know what anyone wants. The pieces not for sale are the zender stuff and the wheels along with the steering wheel. Everything else have at it. Email me at [email protected] or call Andrew at 859-797-1499
Pictures listed below, I will post better ones tomorrow, it is dark outside.
