I bought an 81 380 SLC - really

[swing69]

After much (ok...limited on the 380SLC) research, I purchased a 1981 380 SLC. Brown with light tan interior, sunroof, even orig. tires. 19K miles. all original except for the replaced radio antenna. Interior show some light wear. There are small dash cracks around some of the top dash openings. The only rust just in front of the RR wheel, near the jack tube. All climate control stuff works fine. STarts and idles fine. seemingly, no issues (found anyway!)

Its going to a MB shop for the full once-over / health check in a few days. First; tires. Going with Michelin Defenders in orig. 205-70-14

It still has the single row TC I believe. But there are no rattle type noises. If needing a TC, I will most likely opt to replace the single row. Its going to be a very limited use vehicle. OR I may upgrade or downgrade in the near future.

Picts show a very very dirty car.
