1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

• Silver paint is glossy and even on every panel, doors and fenders line up straight — no paint or body budget from these photos.
• Chrome on the grille, bumpers and window trim is bright and clean — no re-chrome money needed.
• Black soft top is shown up and looks taut and clean, and the matching silver hardtop is also shown fitted — no top replacement budget from these photos.
• Black leather seats look smooth with only light creasing, and the rear jump seat looks barely used — no reupholstery money needed.
• Dash is clean and uncracked in the photos, gauges are clear and the wood trim looks rich — no dash or trim budget.
• Engine bay is tidy and complete with the air cleaner in place, though the coolant tank is yellowed with age — only small plastic-refresh money, if anything.
• Underside on the lift looks dry and solid with just surface grime and a heat-discolored exhaust — no rust-repair budget from these photos.
• Bundt wheels are clean and straight, tires show good tread, trunk is clean with the spare and tool roll present — no wheel, tire or missing-trim money needed.

Money: At $18,750 the glossy paint, clean leather, both tops and dry underside need no cosmetic money in these photos, so the price is buying condition rather than a project.
