1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL

• Same physical car as the GR Auto Gallery 1981 380SL listing in this set — identical red car, same Commerce Twp showroom and the dealer's own watermark on the photos — so do not count it twice.
• Red paint is bright and glossy on every panel, so no respray money needed.
• A ruler close-up shows tiny stone chips on the front fender, so touch-up money only.
• Chrome bumpers, grille and wire wheels are bright, so no chrome bill, though the wire wheels are not factory fitment.
• Cream seats look clean overall, but the center armrest leather is worn and shiny with use, so budget a dye or recover if you want it fresh.
• Dash top looks uncracked and the wood console trim is tidy, with an aftermarket Sony radio fitted, so no dash spend.
• Footwell carpets show some staining, so a deep clean is a small cost.
• Engine bay is not shown in the sampled photos, so I can't judge engine costs from photos.
• Underside is not shown in the sampled photos, so I can't judge underside rust from photos.

Money: At $13,900 this is the same red 380SL as the dealer listing at the same price — glossy paint and a clean cabin support it, with armrest wear and stained footwell carpets as the visible small costs.
