Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL is a black-on-Palomino model with 116k miles, featuring a desirable removable hardtop and Gullideckel wheels. While mechanically functional with a clean Carfax, it requires some reconditioning due to a non-working A/C, shifter quirks, and noted cosmetic flaws on the body and soft top.

Condition 

6

The car has several cosmetic issues including finish imperfections on the body, patches on the soft top, stains on the soft top headliner, and curb marks are implied by the description of the wheels needing tires (though not explicitly stated as curb damage). The air conditioning system does not work and the shifter intermittently needs to be shifted into "3" before drive will engage, indicating some mechanical needs. These issues align with the 'Good' (6) rating, which allows for moderate wear, a few small dents or light scratches, and some reconditioning required.
