1984 Mercedes-Benz 380 2DR 3.8 GRD TOUR AT

1984 Mercedes 380SE Euro with AMG add-ons. 96,100 original miles, car is in wonderful original condition. Always garaged - the previous owner had the car for the last 21 years and spared no expense in maintenance and upkeep. The car has now just over 96,000 miles; since 1992, he put about 1,700 miles per year on the car, driving it only on special occasions., , I have records for the car going back to 1987, when it was legally imported and modified. It arrived in the US on May 17, 1987, traveling on the M-S Pacific Breeze from Bremerhaven to Houston. The original owner paid over $6,000 for DOT modifications, customs brokers and fees, and initial registration. Major recent services include:, , 95,800 miles: new Bosch fuel distributor, Bosch fuel accumulator, and transmission modulator $750, 94,340 miles: new calipers, brakes, sensors, brake flush $905, 93,481 miles: new cats to pass emissions $730, 90,085 miles: front end overhaul, including drag link, idler bushing, control arm and strut guide bushings, tie rods, new hood pad, radiator hoses, 90,000 mile service, trans filter and service, alignment, etc. $2,540, 89,670 miles: brake service, coolant flush, new expansion tank, oil change $364, 86,230 miles: RAndR transmission, reseal rear main, RAndR injectors and fuel accumulator, new starter, trans service $1,463, 85,826 miles: new exhaust, trans reseal, crankshaft seal $2,307, 78,578 miles: timing chain replacement, new cats $1,720, Lots of oil and filter changes spread throughout here as well, sometimes with only 400-500 miles between changes., , The car does not leak anything. It has passed emissions here in Maricopa county (Phoenix) for the last 20+ years, although a few times it has required an emissions tune (leaning out the fuel) which any MB mechanic can do, and un-do, in about an hour., , Everything on the inside works except the clock, which has decided to keep its own time. This includes windows (all 4 power, not just the front), sunroof, cold AC, heat, cruise control, power drivers seat, fog lights, ABS, even the power lumbar support which is adjustable by a dial on the side of the seat, as well as the adjustable Euro headlights (3 positions up and down.) The wood trim is mostly very nice, with a few of the normal cracks and de-lamination as shown in the photos., , The paint is original and has a nice shine overall, with a few chips and dings noticeable if you look hard. No rust. The car rides on lowered AMG springs and shocks and has a firm but not harsh ride. Even with the 205-70 14 tires, it feels very solid, comfortable, and safe. Unfortunately, the 16 AMG Pentas were sold 8 years ago. Also missing is the AMG front spoiler, which, as you can tell by the photos, suffered a few too many parking incidents., , Remember, it is not perfect - its a 29 year old car. Im hoping she goes to a MB enthusiast who will give her a great home., , Thanks, Jeff
