What does the club know and think about a mercedes Sl 380 or 560? They are built like tanks and they are cheaper then 911 for same age. I know this is apples to oranges but they look like nice cars. What to look out for? What is best year?
Thanks, Buck |

I have a 1970 380SL here. I flew to OH and drove it from OH to MN before tearing it down for resto, or should I say rusto.. These things have very poor corrosion protection. Forget about the damage caused but a poorly placed battery like the 914. These things rust out from the inside out. There like any early german car. They rust anyplace there is a bend or fold in the metal. Like the 914 there are parts available but bring your gold card. The grille in almost $ 3000.00.
About the ride and handling and performance? What ride and handling and performance? I couldn't wait to get out of that car. BTW: If you found a nice car for under $ 20,000.00 that's a deal. I don't know why it's a deal but I'm told the goup that loves them like we love the 914 pay up for the nice ones. |
