FS: 1984 380SE 29K Original Documented Miles!
Absolutely Stunning 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SE Sedan!
480 - Manganese Brown Metallic with 255 - Beige Leather interior!
One of the finest remaining examples of a W126 Mercedes-Benz in existence!
This vehicle has ONLY 29K FULLY DOCUMENTED MILES!
History:
This vehicle was purchased new on March 17, 1984 at Loeber Motors, Inc. in Chicago, IL. It had an original MSRP of $44,024.00. This vehicle was then transported from the Chicago dealership to its home in Beverly Hills, CA. Its entire life has been spent in the fair, rust-free Southern California climate. Obviously, this automobile has been driven sparingly over the past 29 years to say the least. When not driven, the vehicle was stored in a climate controlled garage.
We purchased this vehicle from the original owner with the intention of using it as a daily driver. However, we have since decided this vehicle has been cared for much too deeply to use as a daily driver in Los Angeles. For this reason, we have decided to offer it up for auction to a good home where it can be cared for as it has been since new.
Physical Condition:
Exterior: The exterior of this vehicle is in exceptional condition! The paint is very glossy. There is a minor 1 1/2 scratch on the hood of the vehicle (photo available upon request). All of the chrome on the vehicle is in exceptional condition. There are a few dings present on the vehicle. Most should be able to be removed by a professional (photos available upon request). Overall, as displayed in the photos, the exterior of this vehicle is in near-new condition!
Interior: Upon entering the interior of this vehicle you are greeted by the pleasant aroma of the premium leather interior. The leather is plush and in excellent condition. There is a slight, approximate 2 inch stress crack in the upholstery on the rear seat. The Zebrano wood trim in the vehicle is dark and glossy. The dashboard and headliner are in excellent condition, showing no signs of age as well. The Automatic Climate Control functions perfectly, very hot in the winter, and very cold in the summer. There are no problems with the air distribution of the system. The original Becker Grand Prix Electronic radio works perfectly. All seat controls work smoothly and as they should. The power sliding sunroof operates flawlessly. The carpets are in excellent condition with absolutely no staining. There is no evidence that anyone has ever eaten or drank in this vehicle!
Glass: All glass on the vehicle is original, and in new condition! There is no pitting or cracks present on the windsheild, the original Daimler-Benz decal in present. There is no discoloration on the corners of the rear window. The rear window defogger works perfectly, no elements are defective.
Wheels: All 4 wheels are original and perfect. There is no oxidation or curb rash present on any of them. They are fitted with Michelin MXV-4 Plus tires with less than 3,000 miles on them. The spare tire is original and has never been used. It is fitted with a matching Michelin tire that was replaced at the same time. The factory tool kit is present and complete.
Mechanical Condition:
This vehicle has been serviced religously starting with its 1,000 mile inspection performed in March of 1985. A single folder containing the entire service history, OVER $16,000 in Maintenance receipts, will go to the new owner.
Here is an overview of some items that have been updated or replaced:
-Mono Valve
-8 New Fuel Injectors, Seals, and Guides
-New Fuel Pump, New Fuel Accumulator,
-New Ignition Wire Set and Distributor Rotor
-New Water Pump
-New Steering Gearbox
