About This Car
This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SEL was acquired by the current owner in August 1992, and it currently shows 198k miles. Powered by a 3.8-liter M116 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, the car is finished in Anthracite Gray Metallic over gray leather upholstery. Equipment includes 14″ Bundt alloy wheels, a sunroof, automatic climate control, cruise control, power-adjustable front seats, power windows, and a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo. This W126 380SEL is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve with a tool roll, manufacturer’s literature, a repair manual, service records, a Carfax report, and a clean Michigan title.
The car is finished in Anthracite Gray Metallic with gray lower cladding and features a power-operated sunroof, a power antenna, and bright window and bumper trim. An October 2008 entry on the Carfax report lists an accident with another motor vehicle resulting in âminorâ damage to the rear of the car.
The 14″ Bundt alloy wheels are mounted with 205/70 Hankook Kinergy ST tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs.
The seating surfaces are upholstered in gray leather and are joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Interior elements include automatic climate control, cruise control, wood trim, power-adjustable front seats, power windows, and a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and instant fuel economy. The six-digit odometer shows 198k miles.
The 3.8-liter M116 V8 was factory rated at 155 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Additional images of the underside are provided in the gallery.
The Carfax report shows the aforementioned accident report from October 2008.
