Okay, so I found a car online that I am instantly smitten with. It's (I'm assuming) genuine and rare. It's a 1980 450SLC 5.0, but according to my head, wasn't the 1980 a 500SLC? Anyways, I've attached a link... If one of you gets it, God bless! And best of luck! I really can't afford her now, but I just think this one is the cat's meow. (You can all take turns calling me crazy!)

I would love to know more about this assumingly rare model... I've never seen on in any other color BUT silver....
