I'm so stoked...just bought this 1983 Mercedes 380SL in pristine condition with service records back to the window sticker.

Actually they're pretty much the same color huh? The window sticker on this car new in 1983 was $43,000 and it's damned near in pristine condition!!

Love it Steve.

This is one car my mum said she'd like. Hopefully I can get her one real soon.

The center column almost looks "torted" already. That's what's great about AZ, I've seen a lot of older cars out there in just mint shape....
Good Luck with it.
 
But...but....it's too small to fit a bass into!

My father had a 450SL. Very cool car...had some memorable rides in it, and he let me go blasting around a parking lot in it at age 15. Woot!

Not sure how the 380 differs (smaller engine??).

Better sell a lot of basses to afford the fuel bill on that beastie!
 
Just try to get from point A to point B safely all the time Steve.

Good looking ride you picked up there.

Excellent Steve, there two things that will always be in the Psycho's garage, a convertible and a pickup truck, enjoy that ride!

There’s just something about a convertible and a man with hair.:D
