Very rarely do you have the opportunity to acquire a car as lovingly and well-kept as this one. This two-owner, 112,000 mile car has always been garaged. The interior looks new. The dash is perfect with no cracks and everything works like it should. All maintenance items have been attended to and the 380SL comes with extensive documentation to prove it. The current owner has had it since 1989. This 380SL has a perfect Carfax in addition to its stunning originality.

The car drives exactly like such a well maintained and serviced 380SL should. The original paint is in very good condition. The 380SL has never been in an accident and living in Arizona and California its whole life it shows no rust anywhere. It spent every night in the garage. The engine is extremely strong with no oil leaks, the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears with no noise and the exhaust is issue free as testified to by the recent California smog test.

Without a doubt, this is one of the finest classically beautiful roadster designs built by Mercedes-Benz. You will look long and hard to find a better kept or as well maintained head-turning original example in this great color combination as this SL380 car with only 112K original miles. This car has been driven less than 4,000 miles per year. This is the last and best year of the 380SL. It has both tops and the convertible top is near perfect having rarely been used. All of smoke-free interior is in great condition including the carpet and door panels. The original radio and automatic antenna works. This 380SL has all of its books, paperwork and tools.

In 1985 Mercedes Benz produced just 8,144 380SLs. To find an original one is this great condition, driven less than 4,000 miles per year, is a phenomenal find. Like all 1985 380SLs this car has the 16-valve fuel-injected V-8 engine displacing 3.8 liters (233 cubic inches), with a 3.62-inch bore and 2.83-inch stroke. The compression ratio is a relatively high 9.0 to 1, and gives it 218 horsepower and 225 foot-pounds of torque. This 380SL rides on a 96.9-inch wheelbase and measures 172.8 inches long. It stands 51.2 inches tall and 70.5 inches wide. Its curb weight is listed as 3,395 lbs. Its fuel capacity is 19.8 gallons and it averages 20 mpg in mixed driving.

Queens man knows how to party, disrupts Mets game with van

Fri, Jun 24 2016

A New Yorker and all-around true American hero took his weekend festivities a little too far and landed himself in front of a judge last week. According to NBC New York, Nelson Hidalgo drove his unassuming Sprinter to Citi Field on Saturday, June 18, around 10:45 p.m. While the Mets were getting thrashed by the Braves, Hidalgo pulled up to the intersection of 127th street and 35th avenue. Hiding within the van's cargo area were 80 speakers driven by powerful amps, around $20,000 worth of car audio. Hidalgo opened the Sprinter's rear doors, deployed his amazing speaker system, cracked a cold Coors Light, and unleashed hell. Noise complaints immediately started flooding in to the police, including one from the Mets' bullpen. Soon, Hidalgo amassed a sizable crowd who had come to rock out and marvel at the lunacy of the Sprinter's sound system. The NYPD showed up eventually and, undaunted by noise and the crowd, clapped the irons on poor Nelson. The Sprinter was impounded and Hildago was charged with second-degree criminal nuisance, general noise prohibition, disorderly conduct, and obstructing the driver's view. "I know it's illegal, but it's the weekend," he explained to the cops as they hauled him away. Once they had him in custody, the NYPD realized that Hidalgo was the person they had been looking for in connection with absurdly loud music coming from various city junkyards in the dead of night. Hidalgo, who has no prior record, spent the night in the slammer but was released the next morning with no bail on the promise that he return for his court date on August 1. Related Video:

Detroit Auto Show prankster 'damages' hundreds of thousands of dollars of cars

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Obtaining credentials for an auto show is generally a pretty selective process, especially at one of the world's premier shows, like Geneva, Los Angeles or Detroit. That didn't stop online prankster Dennis Roady from getting credentialed for the 2015 North American International Auto Show on behalf of a Russian YouTube channel to cover the show. While he wasn't brought on strictly to cause mischief, Roady couldn't help but have some fun at the expense of the product specialists during the serious business of covering the show. He took to an app called "Dude, Your Car," which allows Apple iPhone users to take snaps of vehicles and then edit them to add some serious, but fake, dents and scratches. Naturally, the pranking session was caught on video, where you can enjoy the sight of poor product specialists freaking out over damage to vehicles ranging from the Mercedes-Maybach S600 to the Audi R8 and a lovely Dodge Challenger.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
