FS: ATL, 1983 Euro 380se
This is a solid car, I intended initially to use the parts to fix my wifes wrecked 300sdl, but I had forgotten about series 1 vs 2 secondary hood latch variations.
Then I considered putting a 603 or 606 in it. I would love to be able to do this, but I haven’t the time to even put tie rods on my daily 124’s, plus I prefer the longer wheelbase cars. From what I can gather this Grey market car was last registered/on the road in 2001 when the timing chain snapped. The tires are brand new and have dot dates of 2001. At some point between then and now, someone pulled a head off of it. I would consider the engine toast. The interior is nice and had professional seat covers installed at some point along the way. Has manual climate controls. I have it listed on marketplace but all these fiends seem to be interested in are the cats and crushing it. I thought it might be good to give enthusiasts a crack at it. It is in N Decatur by Tucker. I’m asking $450 but would be incredibly flexible on the price for someone who would use it for parts or to get it going again. |

Looks bound for the crusher.
Euro log manifolds and exhaust. Any decent wood? I’d start grabbing parts from it that won’t make it look like a total eyesore. I had a euro 1983 380se that had the same high front end. Mine had the second generation hood release, so it’s not like that can’t be converted. Maybe mine was in a front end accident. |
Last euro 380 I came across had a limited slip differential

I too have found a lot of euros with limited slip differentials. The early euro 380 that went into euro 380slc (ended in 1980/81) is a higher-revving version I believe, matched to a 3.27 differential, while the later higher torque ones came with 2.47 differentials I believe. If you can jump to a gen2 differential, this 2.47 gearing is commonly available in 1986+ cars, but the gen1 housing would be good to have with LSD. I also look for LSD on all the euro cars, and haven’t found it on most of them. :( |
