1981 Mercedes Benz SLC380 - $25,000

For sale, is this beautiful 1981 Mercedes Benz SLC380 in pristine, excellent condition. As you can tell the car is very well maintained as well as a garage kept throughout most of the year, under a car cover and on a trickle charger. With that being said, Under my fathers care and ownership of the vehicle, the Mercedes has had the timing chain done (replaced w/ dual timing chains) as well as timing chain guides, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, hoses, distributor cap, fuel filter and various other parts, etc. Pretty much the top end was refreshed but my father went the extra mile to change some other things while he was "IN" there as they say. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the motor, it was done as a preventative maintenance. On the other hand, the coolant was drained and filled with new Mercedes Benz coolant from the dealership. It does have a brand new fan clutch/fan with a new OEM Mercedes Benz radiator as well as a new thermostat which keeps the car running right around 80 to 85 degrees Celsius. Car runs at optimal temperature with no leaks, drips or overheating. Car also has the upgraded disk brakes front and back with calipers and stainless steel brake lines. In my opinion, after the stainless steel lines were installed, the Mercedes stops a lot better from the old style drum brakes that were on it previously. The Mercedes Benz does in fact have an alarm system, an aftermarket radio with new front, and rear speakers. I also bought two small size speakers (subwoofers) that I was going to install but never did (in the back) to give it that little kick in bass it needs. It also has a brand new battery in the trunk with a brand new box. Seats are in great condition with Mercedes Benz style seat covers with the logo (no rips, tears or cut in the fabric underneath, etc.). Everything on the inside of the car works including Heat and AC. Has the routine oil change done to it as well as the yearly inspection. Overall, the car is in excellent condition for being low mileage. Always driven on warm, sunny days! Never in bad weather: snow or rain. Car was primarily driven by an older gentleman (my father). I'm selling it because the vehicle isn't being driven much anymore or as much as I would like and for the fact that my father passed away June 13, 2024 in his sleep while vacationing in his hometown island of Syros, Greece. I did not want to sell it due to the fact that this was one of my father's beloved and favorite cars he's ever wanted and has owned in his entire life (car my father and mother got married in, etc). Unfortunately this has happened and I have no choice but to sell it and use the money towards any expenses we may have. Thus, I would like to sell it and hopefully bring it a new home where it will be driven and enjoyed. Cars sits in the garage most of the time and have no use for it anymore. I would like for someone to take good care of it as it is an antique classic from the 80's. They do not make these cars anymore and finding an SLC especially in this great of a condition; low miles, and garage kept is very difficult. Lots of stuff has been done to it and if I am forgetting something, I apologize! I normally write things down in order to remember and document what has been done to it. Great vehicle for anyone looking to ride around in style!! Please note: that this is a 1 owner vehicle with a clean title, NO rust and ZERO accidents.
