1983 Mercedes 380sl Freshly Rebuilt Engine Ca Car 0 Rust Unfinished Project on 2040-cars

Year:1980 Mileage:215000
Location:

San Diego, California, United States

San Diego, California, United States



YES I KNOW ITS NOT A 1980 BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH STAYING INSIDE EBAYS LINES YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.  THE CAR IS AN 83 HOWEVER THE VIN IS NOT IN EBAYS SYSTEM, I JUST LISTED AN 85 300SD AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED.  THE VIN IS IN CA DMV SYSTEM SO GOD KNOWS WHY EBAY IS A PROBLEM CHILD.

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA 380SL WITH NO RUST
AND IN VERY SOLID CONDITION.  THE BODY IS UNDAMAGED EXCEPT FOR
A SMALL DENT BELOW THE DRIVERS DOOR MIRROR

EVERYTHING IS PRESENT EXCEPT THE HARD TOP BUT THE CONVERTIBLE
IS THERE.  THE INTERIOR LEATHER AND RUGS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION
 OVERALL THE CAR IS PRESENTABLE


WE HAD THE ENGINE COMPLETELY REBUILT ABOUT A YEAR AGO WITH THE INTENTION OF USING THE CAR BUT OTHER ISSUES ARE RUNNING MY LIFE AT THE MOMENT.  THIS CAR WILL NEED TO HAVE THE FUEL DISTRIBUTOR REPLACED AS THE CURRENT ONE LEAKS, OTHER THAN THAT THE MOTOR IS STRONG ALREADY REBUILT. 

THIS COULD BE AN EASY PROJECT FOR SOMEONE LOOKING INTO GETTING AN SL FOR NOT A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY.

PHOTOS OF THE CAR ARE AS SHE SAT WHEN PUSHED OUT OF STORAGE COVERED IN DUST.  WE WILL TRY TO RINSE HER OFF AND TAKE MORE PHOTOS
 SO THE FINISH OF THE PAINT SHOWS BETTER.  THERE IS SOME CLEARCOAT PEELING ON THE RIGHT REAR AND ON THE DRIVERS DOOR BUT OTHERWISE ITS LARGELY ORIGINAL.


On Jun-13-14 at 23:22:15 PDT, seller added the following information:

IM ABOUT TO BUY ANOTHER FUEL DISTRIBUTOR AND HAVE IT INSTALLED,
Pending this happening the car will be listed for sale locally, we reserve the right
To sell it locally and end this auction early

If you have any questions regarding the car feel free
To email me through ebay and I will reply

As is the car runs ad drives however the fuel distributor
Either needs to be rebuilt or replaced as it
Is not functioning correctly

SOME MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE MERCEDES

IT HAS 4 GOOD TIRES

3 OF THE BUNDT RIMS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION

I USED THE CAR PRIOR TO HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT AND SHE HAS GOOD ROAD MANNERS

GOOD SHOCKS AND STEERS WITHOUT WANDERING.

THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES
AND IT RIDES NICELY.

THIS WAS NOT SOME CAR I BOUGHT RANDOMLY
AND DECIDED TO FIX, IT WAS MY CAR
PRIOR TO HAVING THE ENGINE REBUILT.

IF THE CAR DOES NOT BID ACCORDINGLY I AM
GOING TO PUT IT BACK IN STORAGE.


On Jun-17-14 at 16:24:48 PDT, seller added the following information:

***NEWSFLASH***


AFTER WATCHING SLOW BIDDING I DECIDED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER FUEL DISTRIBUTOR AND HAVE IT INSTALLED.  SO NOW THAT THE ENGINE IS FULLY OPERATIONAL AND THE CAR RUNS PERFECTLY IT ISN'T CONSIDERED A PROJECT ANY LONGER.

THE CAR IS GOING TO BE FOR SALE LOCALLY AND I WILL ACCEPT BEST AND FINAL OFFERS VIA EBAY STARTING NOW.

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.

Mercedes CLA45 AMG Racing is ready for a spot on the grid

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Mercedes-Benz trotted out its CLA45 AMG-based racer at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. We first showed you the sedan in the deluge of news and reveals that precedes most good auto shows, and were blown away by the car, formally known as the CLA45 AMG Racing Series.
We were strolling by the Mercedes stand, and figured we'd pop in and take a look at the new racer and its carbon-fiber body panels, gutted interior, and race-sourced aero parts. It's a looker, both as a road car and a track weapon. It's not clear what series the CLA45 AMG will qualify for, although it does seem like a shoe-in for the World Touring Car Championship. Let us know what you think of the CLA racer down in the comments. In the meantime, we've got a full gallery of live images up top, along with the stock images that were posted last week on the Mercedes-Benz Facebook page.
