Gateway Classic Cars of Kansas City is proud to offer a more than
stunning 1981 Mercedes Benz 380 SL convertible! If you are looking
for a practical roadster with style, fine handling, comfort,
reliability and high build quality, the Mercedes-Benz 380SL is the
answer. For less than $16,000, nothing touches it in terms of an
overall package. The 380SL is part of the fourth generation of the
Mercedes-Benz SLs. Designated the type R107 chassis, it began
production in 1971 and was completely different from the 230, 250
and 280SLs (type R113) that it replaced. The 1981 380SL came to the
US market with a 3.8-liter 155-horsepower, all-aluminum overhead V8
mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Weighing in at 3,560
pounds, and with modest horsepower and spring rates chosen for
comfort, it was a less-than-inspiring performer (0 to 60 in 11.5
seconds). Yet in the Mercedes tradition, it imparted a feeling of
predictability, even when pushed to its limits. With proper
maintenance, these cars are extremely durable. Our eye-popping,
original yellow exterior, with dark brown interior and convertible
top, Mercedes 380 SL almost appears showroom new. With only two
owners and 51,007 miles on the odometer, you will be hard-pressed
to find a nicer 1981 Benz on the planet! If you approve of this
stunning classic, call your favorite classic car folks in Kansas
City at Gateway Classic Cars! Our number is (913) 815-1340. You can
reach us Monday thru Saturday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. cst. Gateway Classic
Cars of Kansas City, 1202 South lone Elm Road, Olathe, KS 66061.
