Looking at a 1983 500SL...gray market?
This 1983 500SL has 99,000 miles and looks clean. Am I correct in assuming that this is a gray market model? It has euro bumpers, but US spec headlights and a US spec gauge cluster. The heavily bolstered seats look aftermarket. What do you guys make of this car?

500 SL Grey Market
I've found one as well. I just verified the VIN with MBz. I am wondering, is the car better to part out as it would need tons of resto? I could swap the drive train into my SLC?
