1981 Mercedes 380sl - Low Miles; Three Owners; Full Service History

Description

This is a beautiful, all- original 1981 Mercedes 380sl. This car has been in the central Ohio area since new, and I am the just the third owner. I've owned the car for three years; driven sparingly and always garage kept under my ownership. I'm listing it for sale only because it's one of two weekenders that I own, and this car plays "second fiddle" to my 1986 190e 2.3-16 Cosworth.
While I am allowing a Best Offer capability to this auction, please understand that I am in no immediate need for a sale, so I will not be moving too far off the price listed. It's registered as a Historical Vehicle in Ohio, and is insured for $25,000 though Hagerty.
Some "positive" things...

• Zero rust (though the muffler needs replaced).
• Low miles.
• Full service history from new.
• New set of Michelin tires.
• Original Becker radio works as it should.
• Soft and Hard top. There are no tears in the soft top. The hard top comes with a storage carrier and cover.
• Runs and drives beautifully.

Some "bad" things...

• There is a scuff on the front driver's black rubber bumper area.
• The A/C button broke when my nephew pushed it a little too aggressively two summers ago. It broke in the off position. The A/C was working fine when this occurred.
• The driver's seat material was replaced with original MB Tex due to a tear in the seat. The passenger seat was not replaced.
• It could use the muffler replaced.

My experience selling cars on eBay previously suggests that I will get the following questions:
Will I take less?Make me an offer. The worst that I can do is say no. That said, please don't waste my time. I know that there are 380sl examples being offered for far less, and if they interest you, then pursue those cars and not mine.
Will I accept PayPal? Yes. That said, contact me if you want to do this first as I will not cover the fees.
Can this be driven across the country? Sure. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to do it.
