- Manufacturer's Literature

Powered by a fuel-injected V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, the 380SL delivers smooth, period-correct performance. Equipped with power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, twin exhaust finishers, and Bosch front fog lamps. The exterior retains its chrome trim, extended impact bumpers with integrated rubber over-riders, and sits on 14-inch Bundt light-alloy wheels fitted with BFGoodrich tires. A full-size spare tire remain in the trunk.

Inside, the cabin is finished in black and features adjustable bucket seats with head restraints, power windows, air conditioning, a 4-spoke steering wheel, VDO instrumentation, a center console, and a glove box,. Period-correct equipment includes a Becker Grand Prix radio and a fender-mounted antenna, maintaining the original character of the interior layout.

Documentation shows significant recent investment, with over $11,246.67 in mechanical sorting between July 2025 and April 2026. A major work performed in January 2026 totaled $11,004.06 and included a fuel system service, valve cover gaskets, motor mounts, and a transmission service. Additional receipts and manufacturer literature are included, along with the owner's manuals and service booklet.

The 380SL sits within a generation of Mercedes-Benz roadsters that introduced federally mandated safety bumpers while retaining traditional Mercedes engineering standards, making it a transitional model between classic styling and modernized safety compliance. Accompanied by documented history, this 380SL presents as a well-kept example of the R107 platform that is mechanically sound.
