Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Preview

Wayne Newton’s 1981 Mercedes-Benz 380SL
A Las Vegas stalwart and icon of bygone era, Newton’s highly customized roadster has a removable hardtop. The custom work on this Mercedes-Benz was performed by Niko Sokol.
Under the hood is a fuel-injected 3.8-liter V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. This 380SL was rarely driven, it has less than 2,000-miles on the odometer, and was displayed at Newton’s museum in Las Vegas.
