Offered for sale is this exceptionally well-preserved 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380 SLC showing approximately 37,000 documented original miles. The mileage is supported by prior inspection documentation and a clean Carfax report reflecting consistent history.

This is a one-owner vehicle that has been garage kept and carefully maintained throughout its life. The car retains its original factory paint, which presents beautifully with excellent gloss and depth consistent with its low mileage.

Mechanical Condition

The vehicle runs, drives, and idles smoothly. The engine maintains proper operating temperature (approximately 80–85°C) and shows no known fluid leaks. The transmission shifts smoothly, and the car drives confidently both around town and at highway speeds.

Preventative maintenance completed includes:

• Dual-row timing chain conversion

• Timing chain guides

• Valve cover gaskets

• Spark plugs 

• Ignition wires

• Distributor cap

• Fuel pump 

• Fuel filter

• Battery (AGM)

• OEM radiator

• Radiator hoses 

• Thermostat

• Fan clutch and fan

• Genuine Mercedes Benz Coolant

This work was completed as preventative maintenance to ensure long-term reliability.

Exterior & Interior

• Finished in original factory paint

• Rust free to the best of my knowledge

The wood trim, dash, and interior surfaces present very well and reflect the vehicle’s careful ownership
