Does it have the double row or single row timing chain? I think an '83 is early enough that it would have come from the factory with the single row. If not updated, I would factor the conversion cost into any offer.

Nice cars but not "special" and they are gas hogs. My friend has a Euro 380SEL and it is a really nice car.

I think only the US spec 380 had the single row chain.
