This auction is for a 1981 Mercedes 380SL hardtop convertible with only 93k actual miles.It is a 1 owner vehicle with a clean autocheck.The exterior color is yellow and the interior has the very nice brown leather which is in excellent condition.This mercedes starts right up everytime and drives very good and strong with no shakes or noises..overall very smooth ride. It does have near new tires all the way around.The exterior paint has some clear peel on the hood and both fenders and just a little on the passenger door, the rest of the vehicle paint is good..It has 2-3 small dings/chips as expected for used vehicle 30+ years old and there is a dent/small damage on the right side rear right below the rear bumper( see pics not very bad).I was surprised for the overall condition of this 1981 Mercedes 380SL Roadster.It has the origanol windshield with Mercedes Benz signature still on in right lower corner of windshield and all origanol stickers on the door jam and under the hood (see pics).
Now to the interior, it is in very good /excellent condition and seats don't have any wear.The dash does not have any cracks like alot of these do, there is a dash cover over it as well.I have looked the car over and don't see any rust if any very very small.It does have a clean autocheck being 1 owner vehicle, no accidents and mileage accurate.Now the A/C does not come on which seems to be something to do with the electrical wire or the switch we don't know..Everything else works on this car.Ive taken quite a few pics for everyone so let me know if you have any questions.Thanks and serious bidders only.
This is a no reserve auction which means the highest bidder wins do not miss out!!
Ive added lots of high quality enlarged pics to allow the page to load to see them below.

New Die Hard movie wrecked 132 cars in $11 million chase scene [w/video]
Sat, 16 Feb 2013It would seem the act of dying hard brings with it lots of wanton destruction of the four-wheeled kind. According to John Moore, director of A Good Day To Die Hard, starring Bruce Willis, There were 132 (cars) that could never be used again. Another 518 required a lot of work. And damn right there were some good cars there... That's the fun of it."
Please join us in one great big collective sigh. Done? Okay, let's continue.
"With Die Hard it's about how audacious the action is," says Moore. "So you have to drive over a Lamborghini. An actual one. And yes it hurts me. I'm a car fanatic." Yeah. Sounds like it hurt really bad... though not as bad as the final tally after all the carnage had been counted: "Someone showed me the numbers on the car chase and soup to nuts, you put it all together it was like an $11 million sequence."
Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Maybach and Aston Martin alliance talks fall apart
Tue, 27 Sep 2011If you have, like us, been salivating at the notion of a new generation of Maybach and Lagonda ultra-luxury crafts built by Aston Martin, we've got some bad news: According to reports emanating from Germany, talks between AML and Daimler have broken down.
The proposal under negotiation would have seen Daimler outsourcing production of the next family of Maybach models to Aston Martin, which in return would benefit from Mercedes-Benz platforms and engines - not only for its svelte GTs, but also for its own future Lagonda line of limousines and luxury SUVs. That, and a boatload of money - or at least that's what AML was reportedly seeking, an issue that served as the stumbling block over which the deal reportedly collapsed.
That's not to say the two parties couldn't still reach some sort of a compromise, but short of that, Daimler may opt to either shut down Maybach altogether, find another partner, or take another stab at building new models internally.
